Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

My new 4K-T is running firmware V3.140.0000000.32.R, Build Date: 2025-01-15, is it safer to stay on this or upgrade to latest 0.38

I have read quite a bit of the thread, so should probably go back over it, being lazy. Only immediate thing I notice is the mic sounds a bit like water being poured over it. - that will probably be the mic picking up the pond pump/filter :facepalm: it's been a long day!

In the meantime I am now waiting for daylight to see how this camera looks :thumb: :cool:
Too funny, my cameras have picked up some strange sounds over the years. Stray Cats crying at night are my favorite.
 
My IPC-Color4K-T came with V3.120.0000000.12.R, Build Date: 2023-01-05 and has never been updated. I barely changed any settings when I got it and haven't changed anything since. The mic isn't great, that's for sure. But the image is excellent 24/7/365 for an overview camera.

Too bad the idiots at Dahua couldn't figure out that the camera was and still is a winner and could be a Gold Medal camera with a few updates. Instead, most of their development funds go toward the marketing department which really comes up with some dumb-ass names like Wiz . . . as in Piss. :poop:
 
I just bought another just to have a backup
I may be buying one for a backup too, along with four IPC-B52IR-Z12EB-S2 cameras for backups. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? :)
