Regarding firmware and as an update on the longtime coming DVR firmware we have mentioned many times in this forum – we are in code lock and will be in regression testing through January before releasing to BETA. Yes, we have been talking about this firmware update for too long but it truly does address many issues and adds new features (IE 11 support, profile support to remember settings, GUI to match NVRs/IP cams, POS support, etc). Separately we posted a big update to our NVRs several months ago that solved HDD issues.
