recieved two DS-2CD2032-I, one with 3mm lens and waterproof rj-45 connector, and the other one with 12mm lens and the square rj-45 connector also found on the dahua bullets. the 12mm came with firmware version: V4.0.9 130106 which I tried to update to the same fw level as the other one: V5.0.0 130412 i tired using both the file from their european site, and their US ftp server, but both give me the same error message: "language mismatch" any ideas what's going on?

my missake, the lens is labelled as 4mm, but in reality its closer to 3mm.

I installed General_IPC-HX3(2)XXX&SDXXXX_Eng_P_V2.210.0000.0.R.20130313 from the link earlier in this post on my 2100 bullets, they all came from different previous fw, one was even ntsc, worked without issue the main feature for me is customizable BLC, which is really helpful in some situations.

Just installed a 2100 and noticed that while in daylight the focus is OK due to greater depth of field, in nighttime with ir on it seems to focus at a distance of only 12 feet. Can focus be adjusted? Does anyone know how?

I tried a few options before deciding on what I call the "reverse mullet strategy" (party in the front, business in the back) my thought where based more on what kind of message the lighting setup should be sending. and few things say "you're not welcome" like halogen floodlights, timer lights where ruled out simply to conserve energy. when approaching my house from the front people are greeted by motion activated garden lights showing the way to my front door, normal guests do not even notice the IR floodlights, the motion activated lights guides people while the IR floodlights provide lighting for the day/night cameras. when triggered the motion activated garden lights actually trigger my cameras, in my setup that is a benefit at the back of my property I do not expect anyone to enter unless they are trespassing, so I use daytime cameras and halogens in the back, when greeted by 8000 lumens worth of lighting most normal people would take that as a que that they are not welcome, preframes from the cameras are however useless, but since the PIR triggers at a distance where I can not make an ID anyway it doesn't bother me, in the back the lighting serves as a deterrent. In the backyard I can also switch off some of the floodlights which makes in possible for my kids to play outside even after dark, since my kids unfortunately can't see IR, white lights worked better

thanks, doesn't sound like an operation I am likely to perform at night standing on a 6foot ladder though, so it will have to wait. I'll make a mental note of focusing my other bullets before mounting them though
