Yes, rolled back and everything is fine.
Was there something in the release notes that fixed a problem I was having? Absolutely not! haha! I just wanted to see the new maintenance center that it included.

Yeah, it sure does seem like a bug. I just received a 4K-T180 from Andy and there's no way I'm updating to this firmware.......unless of course it's already on the 180. Havent even set it up yet.

@Keizer just send you a 2023 version fw, please check and let me know how is going.
The version Andy sent me is V3.120.0000000.39.R.230918. I can confirm this firmware version works perfectly fine on my end.

I was recently unable to contact a 4kt camera after a power outage. It came back on it's own 3 days after the original power was removed. Prior to that it didn't exist. No utility could find it on the network despite network commonality with all but 1 metre of cable . This is the 2nd time I've seen this. On my other camera, it didn't become contactable at all although that also showed other issues as the picture whited out over several days to nothing. In the end I had to have it replaced but then strangely it became contactable again on a laptop shortly before it's return after several weeks of trying everything to contact it via both browser & utility. Something adverse seems to be happening to 4kt's when the power is unexpectedly removed or maybe in your case when they reboot from firmware update.
Hard to say. I know my 4K-T's have lost power in outages before and returned to service no problem.
For kicks and grins I loaded this version on my camera.
It works fine.
I had to delete the browsing history of the browser so that it would download the newest plugin, so I am wondering if you are using an older plugin?
Self-adaptive with very little light.
Interesting. Even if I was using an older plugin and that was causing the issue, why is it not causing the same issue with other firmware on the same camera?
Some of the plug-ins are unique to a camera or firmware.
I have enough different Dahua OEM cameras that I have experienced this before and I have to either delete the browsing history or delete the plugins in order to get an image.
Unfortunately they are all called the same, so the camera thinks it is available but it is a mismatch to that camera.
With the V3.140.0000000.22.R firmware the daytime image was perfectly fine though. It was only going into garble mode after a certain level of darkness.
Well I took one for the team and installed the V3.140.0000000.22.R firmware again on one of my 4K-T's. This time I cleared everything on IE first. It did want me to install a plugin which I did. Anyway, it's nice and dark here now and the firmware is working just fine.
Oh, I did the same with the T-180 I just got and it too is working fine. Probably going to leave the rest of my 4K-T's on the older firmware.
To update my T180, I used Dahua's "ConfigTool," and everything went smoothly.
The issue comes up on BlueIris. It seems like when it goes into night or day mode it will get all garbled on BI. Within BI if I select restart camera it restores the image.
I only just received these cameras and have not set anything up, just testing them on the bench right now. All the settings are on default at the moment.
