I am (was) a big fan of the DS-2CD2047G2 cameras. Amazing quality in both day and night time in 2K (even better than in the 4K version).
However, I just received their new C version, and what can I say - oh, man, it sucks so bad.
The "Gain" settings are completely gone now (which used to let me fine-tune the image for the night environment):
WDR is broken too.
This is WDR 40%:
And this is WDR 41%:
Basically, there is no way to fine-tune the WDR anymore. It's either OFF or ON.
And this is on the latest firmware - V5.7.12 build 221201.
At this point I am ready to jump ship and just switch to Dahua.
