All dauha cameras db11, turret, two ptz 59225 going strong.. no reboots or anything necessary
LeChange (Dahua sub brand) from Frys here. All 3 outdoors stopped at -15F (per WUnderground.com weather history, I actually think it was warmer at home based on my termometers, probably -10F). 48hrs later, only one of the 3 came back and temps have been above 20degrees for 8+ hours. My cameras also don't have the OSD Info option and so way to see internal temperature. This is not the first time they stop. Last time was 0F and again they did not turn on for a few days. Super disappointed as the previous super low end Night Owl cheap garbage never stopped in 4 winters.

No problems here, my 5MP Dahua tolerated -27 and -29 (actual temperatures) on 1/30 and 1/31 in Illinois west of Chicago. Wind chills we -50+ at those times. The furnace, however, is set 52-55 and dropped to 45 in the middle of the night (was sweating bullets), pretty sure the drafty old house was working the furnace "all night long" as they say.

In SoCal and I don't have any pics but we are having some extreme weather as well.
It was so cold today in Beverly Hills I saw some people had two sweaters tied around their necks. Brrrrr

We haven't had any particularly cold weather out of this event here in central Wyoming. Missed us by that much! As of this writing, it is unseasonably warm here, actually.
We could use a dose of cold, however. Normally, we get at least one period of -40 temperatures that lasts a week or so every winter. But it has been a number of years since we've had that. and as a result, pine bark beetles have not been properly killed.
Here, and in many surrounding states, the pine bark beetles have done a lot of damage. It supposedly takes about 48 hours at -30 or below to kill the little buggers!
If the predictions of a coming cooling trend (mini ice age), due to the profound solar minimum we are currently experiencing, prove true, we may well see more of what we used to often see here. And while I don't love extreme cold, it does have some benefits, I guess.
We are getting our typical wind for this time of year, though.
