I'm not "upgrading" the firmware in any of my Dahua cameras until and unless it has @EMPIRETECANDY's blessing.

I've said it before: Dahhua is eventually going to have to address this or they're going to have a lot of very unhappy customers

Amazon Logistics was so bad, here, that I finally ended-up in a conversation with their "executive"-level people, who did some kind of magic to put Amazon Logistics as my least-preferred shipping method, rather than my most. That worked well until USPS went to hell in a hand-basket Now I...

If you're not going for maximum smoke (bandwidth), I suggest a product that focuses on stability and reliability over throughput. When I researched it a year-and-a-half back or so, I found Comtrend's G.hn products appeared to be the winner in that respect. So I ordered a pair. I don't recall...

sigh Dahua must do almost no QC on their firmware at all I'll just stick with v15 on everything.

Thanks for the update, @EMPIRETECANDY! Snagged it :) Is it safe to assume all the bugs noted previously, such as cameras crashing and the sub-stream configurations resetting to defaults, have been addressed?

There's only so much bats can do. We have bats. Can stand out in the back yard during twilight and see 'em up there, wheeling and diving around. Last summer I was out back practicing golf flop shots (that's where you hit the ball such that it goes high and short, so it doesn't roll much when...

TTBOMK, a separate IR light is the only way. I simply leave the IR off. The outside areas our cams cover are also thoroughly covered by motion-detecting floods, so there's little that escapes the cameras even on totally dark nights with no IR.

I believe that would be the IPC-T5442T-ZE?

V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430 is the latest recommended version. There's a link to it on page 1 of this thread. As usual: Do not update unless there's good reason to do so. (E.g.: Poor or missing functionality, security issue(s) to which your cams may be exposed.)

Ok, I'll try v15 in the one 5231 I haven't yet upgraded and is still occasionally rebooting itself. If it works well, I'll downgrade the other two from v16 to v15. Thanks!

Thanks, Andy! One might reasonably argue some cameras repeatedly spontaneously rebooting themselves, as some have reported with v16, and cameras losing their configurations upon reboot, as I and others have reported with v16, are fairly big bugs

She's just working a few lunges into her dog-walking ¯\(ツ)/¯

Well day-um :( I just tested the two 5231s I upgraded to v16, and damned if you aren't right: Configure substream 1, reboot the camera, and bam: Right back to default values. Not very handy. @EMPIRETECANDY: Any chance you can persuade Dahua to fix this bug and do a new release?

I have never had either the main stream nor sub-stream 1 reset, on any of our Dahua cams, any firmware revision, with our Synology Surveillance Station NVR.
