Installed without issue. But I had to do it from the actual Camera, Settings, Device Info area. The Firmware Update Menu Choice did not show any update for me.

I was on an Android Device

I just installed the Firmware with no issues and it plays back clips fine. I will test the night vision bug tonight as this camera was speeding up the clips consistently at night.

Firmware installed from the Account tab ->Firmware update all in one section without issue. :+1:

I wondered why my WCO with Cam Plus seemed to have had the battery draining faster than normal lately. I just assumed it was having more traffic being recorded lately. Thanks for catching this and updating. It wasn’t a huge deal I guess, but it’s great to hear it should last longer again. :slight_smile:

Funny thing is that mine hasn’t. I am at 51% and it been running for a few months already

Went fine for me too

Night vision working correctly! :slight_smile:

Installed successfully to 5 WOCs (3/2 split between 2 base stations) simultaneously vs going to each device. I gave the process an extra challenge by moving 2 of the WOCs to the far range of the base station’s coverage area. No impact.

On some previous updates WOCs would go offline until I reboot their BS. Which is why I have the BS on a smart plug… (but I have been seeing the plugs go offline recently, luckily hasn’t impacted my use case yet).

It’s also nice seeing the continued commitment to improve the WOC. I had lots of troubles at the beginning, but rarely now.

We had 44 of them did them all at once took 2 times all updated no issues

Thanks for working on the issue of 2X speed with night vision on. I hope it works, the raccoons and possums are tired from running so fast. :grin:

I like those pets :grinning:

Updated 1 cam from the pop-up that appears when you start a live stream. Updated 1 cam from Settings > Device Info > Firmware Version. Updated 2 cams via Bulk Update. All updates successfully applied. No issues with Event playback speed with NV turned on (1 cam with Cam Plus Lite, 3 cams with Cam Plus). Will monitor battery drain.

A post was split to a new topic: Just saying hello

Does this version fix the problem with the solar panel for the WOC? When I received my panel 2 weeks ago the camera would stop working after the solar panel was plugged in. I was told in the forum that there was a known issue with version 4.16.2.66. I am now on version 4.17.2.40. I bought the solar panel in hopes that I wouldn’t have to take the camera down every 2-3 months to charge it. Thanks

version that I’m on seems to have solved the problem.

And you have an sd micro card in the camera?

If you are asking me if I have a micro SD cards in the cameras the answer is yes. I have 32GB Samsung cards in all 4 cams doing scheduled event recording just as I have been doing for the last year… The 4 cams also have Cam Plus Lite on them.

Thank you, do I need the card for cam plus lite motion detection recording? I also have a ring camera that does not need a sd card for recording is why I am asking.
