Do I have to update to 0827 first? Or can I just jump to this newest FW?
I have been following this thread since it was posted and was inspired to purchase a PRO model to take my first step up to a "real" camera, pretty much from the get-go. Prior to receiving it I had read the recommended settings and other important information from prolific IPTC members including witaj, TonyR, steve1225, bigredfish, and the list goes on. My thanks to them and to the testers who have taken their time to provide us with insights into these new cameras in their early days. And of couse, thanks to Andy for providing us with a great source of products, service and information.
When I received my camera I plugged in the night time settings suggested in another thread by bigredfish. Having seen some of his videos I thought they might be a good starting point for me because my use is outdoors without nearby ambient light, other than the occasional passing car. (edit: I forgot to write that I bought an IR illuminator and run the cam at night in B/W) I popped the camera in a window and there it has sat (capturing) since. Until now, when I tweaked the settings per those above.
I am sorry for not being set up (or knowledgeable enough) to help with testing but I look forward to more great posts on this topic.
edit: I may not know enough about the ins-and-outs of even the basics yet, but I am pleased with the PRO and have faith that it will live up to its potential.

Yes, my target is to make the users do less settings and get great pics and less false alarms, I am pushing those engineers badly to get a better version. Good things they are working faster now than the camera release.
But please give us the capability to go manual ... not only if we need to for the scene ... but also for testing purposes so we can control the settings.
Looking forward to the firmware Andy and I'll definitely give it a go on my camera's. Bonus points if you can provide some detailed release notes on what they thing is "fixed."
My "sacrificial" T54PRO-ZE is standing by to be upgraded ...
Since I got it just a couple of days ago, is it still covered under warranty if your firmware bricks it?!? ;-)
aha won't brick. We have warranty center in US, can fix up any camera or NVR if bricked.
