Just noting that I have dozens of these cameras installed in commercial security systems, all upgraded to the latest firmware, and I am having none of these problems; the new firmware is better in every regard in my experience. I wish I could upgrade the IP2M-852 outdoor cameras to this level firmwa...

IP cameras have a much better image quality that doesn't degrade and get noise in it the longer your cable is. The advantage of analog is that it still WORKS even as the signal deteriorates, whereas digital it just starts cutting out. But with digital, you have 100% image quality regardless of the l...

Line-in is meant to be plugged into a line-out or headphone jack on another device. I a...

@Melvin, any news on the HTML5 compatible firmware that would do away with the need for plugins?

Hello amcrestforumusername, This appears to the IR cut filter of the camera being defective. If a simple reboot an hard reset does not fix the issue, you can go for warranty replacement. Once again, this is most definitely NOT an IR cut filter issue. This is a digital image processing issue most li...
