As long as this issue persists, I recommend leaving the cameras in Night Mode to avoid physical wear and tear on the IR cut Filter switching on/off.

No luck

One final request. If you haven't already done so, please try rebooting your router.
Also under Advanced > ICR and IR > IR LIGHT, try selecting Sync. With ICR

If this doesn't work, I'll see what else I can find out.

[duccio]

Just tried rebooting my router with same results.

Also the option you suggest is the default option so is activated by factory.

:-(

Short of some settings that we've overlooked that distinguish the working camera from the two non-working cameras, I'm at a complete loss here. Since the three cameras are identical, you can save the Configuration Settings file from the working camera and upload it to one of the non-working cameras running the same firmware as the working camera. Using this approach, you will eliminate any differences related to firmware + settings.

I use a diff-program and all 3 cofigurations are the same, no differences

What do you mean a "diff-program"?

I am referring to the web UI paths:

• MAINTENANCE > System > SYSTEM > Save Configuration (save configuration file from working camera)
  
• MAINTENANCE > System > SYSTEM > Load Configuration (Load configuration to non-working camera)
  

[duccio]

Yes, all 3 configurations are the same, byte-byte...

Return it... or open it up and remove the gremlins and see what's wrong with it

The conundrum here is that this member owns three DCS-2230s and this issue persists on two of them. Two DCS-2230s with the same defect purchased by the same person seems highly unlikely. 

[duccio]

Yes :-( please, read about the other problems, above all the Micro SD mount problem (the card is not mounted automatically on boot!)

Thanks.

oops - I originally thought it was only 1/3.

I wonder how far apart the serials #s are.. bad batch???

Mine are f/w 1.10.

Hi.

Hi returned 2 of 3 cameras.

Today I received 2 new cameras: same problem: IR Cut and IR Light ON/OFF.

I tried to cover the "IR Cut Sensor" and the problem persist: IR Cut and Light ON/OFF repeatedly...

[RYAT3]

Thanks for your reply.

All of these IR cut over events occur in pitch blackness, in a room without windows.

Thanks!

Not that it should matter -- are these cameras in the same room? Are they pointing at each other?

These might have been answered previously:

Does the problem persist with only 1 camera enabled in that room?

Do you have Sync with ICR on?

Have you tried with ir light control ALWAYS on?

[duccio]

Hi Ryat, thanks for your support, I'm so sad...

The problem persist with only 1 camera in the room.

IR light is in sync with ICR. The problem persist also with light control always on.

I tried to cover with black tape the "IR Cut sensor" and the problem persists.

This is the results:
