@Wayne-TP
The camera was fine and working well until the 3rd of June firmware update. Looking forward to a corrective firmware update.

Also has the same issue with one of my C310 cam. Always on night mode even on daytime. I was able to check the playback just today and the camera during daytime is too bright. Then it became night mode after 30mins from the playback then back to too bright again and so on.

@Wayne-TP Surely we can just roll back to the last version? It's been a week and I have unusable footage on multiple cameras. Auto reboot is not a solution as it's only once a day. It was working before! Roll back!!

@Wayne-TP I confirm this issue! I have the same problem than yours. I'll auto reboot my C310 cameras.
