isn't this an old camera? i think it's a couple years old model..
Add a fourth difference, the cam I just received can pan/tilt at the same time (diagonal control) whereas the first cam doesn't. Firmware difference perhaps?I've already noticed several differences between the two;
First, there's a third pigtail for audio which wasn't on the first cam.
Second, like Looney the desiccant pack wasn't attached to the inside of the dome cover.
Third, I noticed some differences in the interface and checked the firmware version, which is different. (most likely due to the audio)
First cam without audio has the following: 2.622.0000000.3.R, Build Date: 2018-01-16
New cam has 2.622.0000000.7.R, Build Date: 2018-04-04
Thank you. I'll be hoping for all of those features!Audio in and out plus ground in the third pigtail.
Post a picture of the camera with the audio pigtail. I mean a picture of a SD22204T-GN with a audio pigtail..First, there's a third pigtail for audio which wasn't on the first cam.
LOLShould I feel like I got ripped off?
Sorry! Got ambitious and installed it this morning. Good that you found the images! That’s exactly what mine looks like.Post a picture of the camera with the audio pigtail. I mean a picture of a SD22204T-GN with a audio pigtail..
As of now, mine reports having:Dahua uploaded new firmware for this camera.

Can you describe the zoom in / out bug? I'm not seeing anything odd with mine, but now I'm curious!@looney2ns
Interesting indeed, but i tried it with Edge, but gave me a error right away ----> "Adobe Flash" needed to be activated. Firefox just showed a black screen on the place holders for the live views.
I am not a fan of flash, because it introduces other and new security risks compared to a also risky installed plugin. And flash is standard blocked in Firefox. On top of that, flash will be dropped soon enough in 2020.
But for the rest did this update finally fix the annoying zoom in / out bug that came with the previous firmware. For now i am pleased with the update so far, except for the Adobe Flash route...
The auto update check in the cameras to the best of my knowledge, are not working.As of now, mine reports having:
2.622.0000000.3.R.T4.484, Build Date: 2018-01-16
Right now, it seems to work fine, and when you let it check for firmware, it says it's up to date. Mine is PAL, and while we're on NTSC here in the US, of course this is irrelevant in my application hooked up via Ethernet and using Blue Iris. The number beginning with 2.622 rather than 2.640 makes me wonder if the firmware in the above links is for a different camera than mine.

Do you recommend updating to one of the two firmwares linked above?The auto update check in the cameras to the best of my knowledge, are not working.
I go by the rule, if it's not broke don't fix it.Do you recommend updating to one of the two firmwares linked above?
The firmware i posted before, is for the SD22204T-GN. I have a international version, but that should not matter. The 2.622 and 2.640 are just firmware revision numbering methods as far as i know. Like for example version 1.0, 1.1 and so on in software.As of now, mine reports having:
2.622.0000000.3.R.T4.484, Build Date: 2018-01-16

I tend to do that, too. I wonder, though, about the "zoom in/out bug" mentioned above. I'm not seeing anything that seems too odd, but maybe I just don't know what I'm looking for.I go by the rule, if it's not broke don't fix it.
If we get a break tomorrow from the crazy winds we’re getting now, I’ll take it down and snap some pics.I'd love to get a look at the bottom of @Tom Lorek 's new camera, the one with the pigtail. It would be interesting to see if it has a different part number on it. And if we could get a view inside, showing where the audio wires make their connections to the PCB, that'd be nifty, too!
That's going above and beyond. If you feel like it, and really have nothing better to do, it would be great. But having to take an installed camera down is a lot of hassle.If we get a break tomorrow from the crazy winds we’re getting now, I’ll take it down and snap some pics.
