I've spent a LOT of time working with Andy and an Engineer at Dahua attempting to squish several issues I originally found with this camera.
The Dahua Engineers have logged into the camera several times checking things.
I just today received the updated firmware, so we'll see if that has indeed has been accomplished.

Pictures.
Remove the dome (4 screws), then the access door in this picture to find the Reset Button, and the SD card slot. The latch on my sample for the door was pretty tight, and took some futzing to get it open without breaking anything. YMMV

Focus Issues
Nighttime
Issues.
The focus issue comes from the shape of the dome, when the camera is zoomed past Z9 or so and tilts up beyond 10 degrees, the lens get further from the dome due to it's shape. Thus the dome distorts the picture.
The SD card reader has not been reliable, sometimes it will work correctly, other times it stops recording and the card disappears from the system. I've tried 3 different SD cards all with same results. All cards that work without problems in other Dahua cams.
Cam has been set back at least 6 times to factory defaults.
Using Internet Explorer with the camera, it puts a heavy resource load on the computer.
It will not change from day to night settings without using the time schedule. The time schedule is fussy when trying to set it up. Prior to todays firmware update, it did not work correctly at all.
I will have to give it a day or so to see if that has been corrected, on first blush, it still doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I am NOT a fan of Web5.0 at all. To me it is a step backwards from the old GUI interface in functionality. Too much wasted white space and various settings are not intuitive to find.
YMMV
