version 5.4.0 did anyone have a chance to try it out ?

Many thanks.Yes, it can.
I am in agreement with you Kroegtijgertje. I am surprised to see some are very happy with this firmware. We see far more noise and artifacts in v5.4.0 compared with v5.3.8 especially in low light and interior lighting. In fact, we also noticed a pulsating that occurs every 1-2 seconds with the signal processing trying to make adjustments only to come right back to the same starting point. We are at the NTSC 60 Hz image setting in the U.S. so not sure if it could be a frequency problem but at lease for us a major step backwards (even despite a few good bug fixes with the brightness, contrast configuration levels).I had more noise and artifacts in the previous version.
So far we have been unable to download the firmware either by web interface or TFTP boot. We are going to be trying a few other tricks in the lab but so far no luck. We have a ticket into Hikvision on the potential lack of downgrading ability issue and I will let you know how they respond.Has anyone tried downgrading from this firmware ?
