@bobbo1179’s posted pic comparisons from March to now perfectly illustrates the degradation in the V3 IR NV capability since the FW was updated. It is also in keeping with other reports of the same here in the forum which rules out an isolated incident. In addition to the darkening of the image, there have also been consistent reports of daylight images with increased image blur and digital tracking artifacts and color and IR night images with excessively grainy and low quality images.
In addition to this, and possibly collateral damage from the sensor firmware changes, is that the delta between the light level required to auto engage the IR NV and disengage it has been adjusted such that cams are never coming out of IR NV after being auto switched into that mode. Again, this was caused by a firmware update as they did not have this problem previously.
I cannot attribute the same to any older cams as I don’t have any of them except for a seldom viewed WCPv1. It also has recently been very sick and has not been switching out of IR NV.
