Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

[actran]

It’s a bit larger but nothing crazy

But bigger is better, no? It is a boobie cam.

I'm currently looking for them, as the BI automagic setup did not detect them properly.

Thank you!

ANSWER: BI automagic setup does not work unless you use the 'admin' user logon.
I was using my non-admin privileged username/login, and it was not working.

Observations after installing:
Replacing the old 4231 wedge was simple. Worst issue was fitting the cover on the camera. That sucker fits TIGHTLY over the cameras. Also, when attempting to remove the cover, that tight fit can be a problem. Finally, the trim/adjustment rings around each camera are somewhat difficult to re-install. Better than flopping around loose, I suppose.

Initial images (still got tweaking/setup to do later):
It's a cloudy/overcast day, otherwise the color would look quite a bit better.

Have one of these cameras and was trying to upgrade the firmware. Downloaded the files from the EmpireTech website (Download Firmwares). There are two firmwares listed for the IPC-E541F-E2-AS, one with Smart IR, one without. The firmware without Smart IR loaded to the camera with no issues. However, the firmware with Smart IR will not load. In the camera's log I just get a message that the upgrade failed.

Anyone get the firmware update to work? Things I should try?
