Firmware loop

egilso — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 17:16:21 GMT

My 1.gen essential spotlight cameras are stuck in aloop where they update 1.090.36 and 1.090.37 versions alternating. They insist on installing previous version, then after a few days, they install the new.

Please try to reset the camera and add it back to the account:

It has happened to two of four cameras, and yes I have reset one of them. It is obvious that the server offers the outdated version, as the camera happily installs the old version

I have not reset the cameras, but they seem to have stopped the update loop
