I bought 2 IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E cameras from Andy at the same time. They both work OK
but I am not done setting them up. However I notice differences here and there in the firmware.
The firmware versions are the same but there are differences. Here are the two version
pages:

Notice that this camera says "Device Type".

This camera does not have the device type line.

Firmware_version_91.JPG

Having worked in software for my career, this strikes me as odd.
I have to wonder what other differences are in there.

I see that there is a new firmware version available. Should I upgrade?

It would be nice, if all the cameras would have their model number on that page.
After a while, you forget the exact model number.

As noted, model numbers aren't always there. Just run the latest FW from Andy.

Didn't I read that, going forward, all of Andy's custom FW would display the model number??

Yes, but after a while, I don't remember the camera's model number, so which firmware goes with it?
For example, I have 14 cameras and most of them, are a few years old. How can I remember all the numbers and letters?
Luckily I have them in my signature.
