Sorry for the double post. I just posted this in the 1.03 thread as well, since I believe there's a 1.03 bug there, but I thought it would help posting here as well.
This camera is driving me nuts (I have a 5010L bought from NewEgg). I want to keep the camera in day mode only, since I keep it in my bedroom as a baby monitor and only need it during the day (and I don't like the loud click it does when switching modes).
With firmware 1.02 at some point it would turn the IR filter on, rendering the image washed out/pink. I would fix this by switching day/night modes (e.g. from day to anything else, then back to day). Then a few hours later I would find the image is pink again, and I'd have to switch modes again... and so on.
With firmware 1.03 I was hoping this bug got fixed, but in fact it's way worse. Now the image (colors) are ok all the time; however, irrespective of which day mode I keep it in ("day" or "manual"), at about 6-7am (dusk) it would start switching between day/night on its own, and never stop.. the only solution is to manually change modes again, or reboot it (sometimes it won't even respond on the web interface - I'm using Live Cams Pro on iOS).
I tried reflashing 1.03, restoring to factory configuration, playing with different day modes.. nothing helped.
Also, it's worth mentioning this self-switching (on 1.03) and pink hue shift (on 1.02) only happens after few hours (~12 or so). I couldn't find any reproducing factors (other than time). I tried leaving the camera with a black hood on, to simulate low light, but it doesn't click.. it only does it later, the next morning. Not a nice wake up call!
