I assume there will be no more updates for this camera so it will never work properly since it requires flash. What is a suitable replacment camera that will work properly? I guess it's time to retire this one.

Anymore updates for this camera so that it will display the video in chrome / firefox / modern browers?

I am using it to monitor our front gate durring the day, and at night I switch it to BW / License plate reader settings. The only issue is I never remember to adjust the sunset time as the days get longer / shorter. It's one of the more useful cameras we have installed as it monitors...

I have the older model. Is it worth upgrading?

With this firmware every morning I wake up and my camera is completely out of focus, rendering it useless until I log in and press the auto focus button (and I won't always be able to do this or remember to do this). I would like to move back to an older firmware, but which is recommended?

Just realized I posted about the wrong camera, it's my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E that is having issues going out of focus every time it comes out of night mode... However my ipc-hfw8232e-z is now acting up as well. Today I don't get any image at all when I woke up. I turned off smart codec and it...

I updated to the Nova v2.640.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006.0.R.190627

I have to autofocus because the window showing the camrea Is black on that screen. but after selecting autofocus the camera shows fine on the other tabs.

Since updating to the latest firmware, the camera defocuses itself very day (I think which switching back to daytime mode). I have to manually log into the camera to refocus itself. How do I fix this? As it is it's is basically now worthless.

maybe I could just mount that to the existing box, have double boxes? heh. I'm currently using PFA121 boxes on the front of the house.

I'll give that a read for sure thanks! Everyone was saying I should upgrade to the 5442 because it has a larger sensor but the camera I have now uses the same size sensor 1/1.8" . https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/uploads/soft/20190219/DH-IPC-HFW8232E-Z_Datasheet_20190215.pdf It might...

IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE Turrent Mount is an interesting solution. F1.6, .002 Lux, has some IR, Has MIC (any disadvantages to the bullet version below?) IPC-HFW5442E-SE Bullet Style. Same specs, but no microphone. (I'm guessing it is cheaper then?) I do have the microphone I purchased in the OP. Just...

Wow that is super helpful! So the new zoom models actually have slightly worse low light performance than the one I have now. No wonder it was so expensive 2 years ago! But, since I'm not using the zoom on that camera anyways and have it set fully zoomed out the PC-HFW5442E-SE would be a...

I checked the sittings an I am only zoomed in about 8x (a bit over the 1/2 way mark in the software). This allows me to watch delivery people, and I can see our mailbox which is about double the distance from the front gate. Nice to see when packages are getting delivered, and read license...

What about this EOS one I found? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dh_ipc-hx8xxx-nova_eng_p-n_stream3-ipc-hfw8232e-z-ze.31405/page-3#post-470615 Also whats the difference between these two (note the 2.6mm version is also available in 3.6mm)? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I find Dahua...
