How do I disable the IR in night mode? This is not fixed. I have the 2050 and soon as I put it to day mode the lights go out automatically, this should be the same.

How do I disable the IR in night mode? This is not fixed. I have the 2050 and soon as I put it to day mode the lights go out automatically, this should be the same.

I believe there is an on-screen switch on the web UI LIVE VIDEO page.

My 942L dont have this issue on firmware v1.12
Audio - Fix intermittent clicking/static

This is fixed in the latest firmware?

I have 2x 942L and this intermittent clicking/static seems to happen once every 3 to 5 mins.  You could still hear the voice conversation clearly.  This intermittent clicking/static is so faint that you will probably not notice.  My 932L has a more annoying continuous static noise.


My suggestion is to change bug description to:
Audio - Fix intermittent "faint" clicking/static

Additional wishlist:
Wifi - Ability to switch to secondary wifi if the main wifi-internet fails.


Thumbs up to Firmware 1.22 for the new HTTPS and other feature. Seems stable.

Can I please request the ability to customize the subject field of the snapshot emails.  This will help me to select the destination folder when snapshots are emailed to Google's Picasaweb.  Thanks.

I am not sure this could be fixed by a firmware upgrade, but when it gets dark, I see only the reflection of my vertical stores in the window (the camera is between the stores and the window).
The problem comes from the IR lighting which gets reflected from the window, which acts as a mirror.

Strange, isn't it?
