Been running two of these cameras for just over a month. Despite some quirks and hiccups I'm pretty happy. My question is, the app says my firmware is up to date with a 2019/07/03 RL190411 update. Is this the latest?

  For the time being, it is, but there will probably be another one out fairly soon. You’ll see the orange Update button in the app when it’s available.

  I believe there's a 9/12/2019 update available

  I'm even more concerned about my newest cams. They say 2018/11/28 is camera firmware but it also says Firmware is up to date.
  Can't figure out how to submit a picture here otherwise I'd show you.
  When I try to do firmware upgrade on camera it says File not found.

  If it says firmware is up to date, you don’t need to update.
  
  The FW Update menu choice is only for a manual update. You have to download the firmware file to the SD card so the camera can find it. You haven’t done that, which is why the camera is saying that the file isn’t found. You didn’t put the file on the SD card for the camera to find. But if the app says the FW is current, you don’t need to do that.

  Thanks. I watched the video on doing the firmware update manually. Would prefer not to do that!

  It’s not at all hard. It’s just that it’s not going to do you any good at all if the firmware is current.

  Daytime Temp readings are always 25 degrees or more too high

  I have 4 cams. This is my 3rd year. I’ve found that most problems associated with the Spartan are consumer user errors... lol

  Marty, 
  
  If the cameras are in sun or a sun-warmed area, the temperature is going to be high. Night temps are typically accurate. 
  
  Yes, there are a lot of user-error problems :). But there are also cameras that are bad and it’s a matter of troubleshooting, hoping that it’s user error (because that can usually be fixed fairly easily), and if it’s not, then there’s repair or replacement.
