First post. I recently bought an E4. I enjoy reading about the incredible things you guys are doing with the model – kudos to all.
In my case, I don’t plan to hack it (at least for now), because I tried it out as received, and feel it’s good enough for my use (again, for now), which is just to check things around the house – the MSX feature makes it easy to figure out what I’m looking at versus a bunch of fuzz bunnies. I purchased it knowing it may end up being a 1.21 unit, but I felt it was a good deal anyway.
I just wanted to contribute the info for mine to the “database.” I ordered it online on February 19. It was shipped on the 20th (there was no backorder, so it obviously came from existing stock), and I received it on the 25.
To my surprise, here is the info:
Serial 6391 1xxx
E4 1.1
Firmware 1.19.8
Calibration 1/24/14
I do have one question. I have not hooked it up to Flir Tools as yet, and I have read it phones home when you hook the camera up. I assume the software doesn’t “force” an update in any way, does it? I assume if anything, it just notifies me that an update is available, but gives me the option? I’m not going to do the hack now, but want to keep options open.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
