When using the web user interface, I get the prompt "Please click here to download and install the plug-in" when viewing between older and newer IP8M models (switching between T2499EB and T2599EW, for example) forcing me to re-install plug-ins every time now. While I have had to re-install...

I have found that the audio quality of the 2599 is inferior to the older camera, AAC only going to 1600 as opposed to 64000.
