Upgraded several G1s including my own two 2185s and my 2385, no issues so far. The new HLC feature is very good. With this on my 2385 I can now read number plates from the night view, whereas before they were just a mega-bright reflection from the IR illumination!
Shame there's still no fix to...
Ha! How did I miss that they snuck in the ability to switch off stream encryption from the WebUI?! Still can't do it for the K-series of course because they're still stuck with v3.x firmware, but at least this is big progress for the I-series.
Interesting. I'm sure when I've tried to go back to a previous version of an NVR firmware before it just did nothing after the reboot (i.e. I was stuck with the newer firmware).
I thought that this was related to a bug in the Hik-Connect app (I've seen problems with video before that was only showing on iPhone Hik-Connect app and not on android for example) but the stills captured by event trigger which are stored on my NVR also show this same corruption. I do suspect...
In all seriousness though, Hik don't offer anything PTZ at that price point. It will be really interesting to see how the picture quality holds up against the EasyIP3.0 range.
