    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    This update put both of my cams in a reboot loop. Went back to 7.1.3.3 and it's "all good" again.

    I am replying to the people who already own this camera. In no way am I recommending it.

    Dredging up this old thread. Both of my cameras have been working flawlessly since the FW update in February. The POE modules on the cams have also survived a good 2 weeks of 100+ temps. I hope everyone else has had similar outcomes.

    Yup. It's one thing to have a faulty model or models.. Another thing entirely not to properly support them.

    One week with zero issues. I recommend anyone with problems to install this firmware.

    Both of my cameras are still functioning normally.. It's starting to look promising.

    Everything is aligned correctly here. Did you uninstall the old web plugin?

    It's still too early to tell if the new fw fixed the more glaring issues but it seems it did fix the osd date/time disappearing after ~30min.

    You're right.. I just checked the 'don't crash and burn' box.

    I applied it to both of mine. FYI there's a new web plugin with it. I haven't had much time to mess around with it but at first glance options and GUI look the same.

    Hopefully it's because they found (the) critical issue(s) and took it down. Maybe a fix is incoming. ...I know, wishful thinking.

    In this case (for a relative) the chance is very real. You would still go for the turret?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Thanks for the quick reply. I understand there could be some drawbacks but there is a possibility of vandalism due to mounting height. I would be open to alternative suggestions.

    Does anyone know of a source for the dome version of this camera?

    I have mine set to reboot every 24hrs and I still lose one or both at least once a week
