Been plenty info on different forums saying don’t do the up grades on some of the hik products . Many saying what you have said about image and zoom proI just updated the condor CQ35L v2.0 with the latest firmware 128 (image pro 3.0) before I had the 118 (image pro 2.0), and I notice a degradation in image quality when zoom pro is activated, I find the image much more pixelated and noisy, I also noticed that when the zoom is activated the acuity adjustment from 1 to 5 is inoperative as if the image was always set to 5, whereas on my old firmware this was functional even when zoom pro was activated. Really disappointed.
