Mini PTZ v2: 4x optical zoom version

stoney7713 · Apr 5, 2016

Yes but I don't know if it's the same FW between the Aptina 0230 and the IMX322 which I supposedly do have the Aptina 0230. It IS the S2LM and that is what it says much match in order to upgrade. It says it's April 2016 FW.

Please must make sure the Chip shown on Search Tool is matching with Firmware, or will permanent damage the camera won’t be possible to recover unless replace chipset soldered on PCB inside camera.

I upgraded the FW, still focus lag while zooming. But I had a bug on the park feature, worked on 1min and 5min but not 10min. It works now. I did have to refocus the lens preset 85/65 after the FW upgrade.

Waiting for night time to see if there is any improvement, I saved my settings before the FW upgrade and did a reset on the cam, haven't restored my video settings yet. Want to see if stock settings work now.

Waiting to see how you make out.

Default settings

I think there is some improvement, the pic I posted a few nights ago was after I tried to adjust things, before I adjusted things it was pretty noisy.
I'm tweaking brightness , contrast, and sharpness to try to get a better image.

Looks good, did you remove faceplate?

Yes the faceplate is still off. The pic from the other night was with it off also.

I would go snap it on real quick to see the difference, but too warm and cozy.

Anyone having flashing issue still whenever making changes in the image settings?

stoney7713 · Apr 6, 2016

I did the first night but not since then.

@stoney7713, looks a lot better. So this is with IPNC_S2l2.0.1_build201603031830 installed?

Yes the one I posted. This is the pdf she sent. I upgraded the FW thru the tool provided.

Great, I will try it today and see if it helps. Who was your vendor? I have not heard boo from Monica.

Thanks! I just gave the firmware a shot. Everything seems to be working, but I notice that my webpage version doesn't match the PDF (everything else does).

Program version: V2.0.1. Build 201603031830S
Control Version: McuF0_V1.0.0_build20151202
Webpage version reports: 1.1.1 Build 20151216

I also removed the face place this morning and will see how that helps the image at night.

I don't recall the old plugin version, but it still won't work on this workstation (Out of 5 computers I can only get it to work on 1 machine, but I can see the video in Blue Iris.

Thanks @stoney7713, very odd that the firmware has not been given out by Monica and Huisun.

stoney7713 · Apr 7, 2016

I use BI also, makes it easier when using a variety of camera brands. Loose some of the smart features some brands have but most seem glitchy anyways.

Yeah I posted the build # are the same not sure why the control version is different.

I would open the 2 versions and see if it's anything. A few months ago I had plenty of free time to do so. Now with taking care of a grandbaby I can't find time to drill a few holes to hang a cam....lol

I guess I didn't look far enough into the thread. I saw Build 201602010919S on page 1 and thought that was the latest. Thanks @klasipca.
