Cynthia,
The light remains off – no change. But the camera drops off the network when I plug an ethernet cable into it which is connected to the same access point. Is there a switch or setting somewhere to ”activate” the ethernet?

Nothing on the packaging indicates "outdoor". Just "E1". Odd though...the E1's are supposed to be 3MP and the box states it is 5MP. The app shows its just E1 (not E1 Zoom or E1 Pro). And still, the bonus ethernet port does nothing except knock the device off wifi. I'm not using the ethernet for power, just network. Cam is powered thru its power port.

Lots of disappointment here - the port doesn't seem to work! If I plug in an ethernet cable to my router, the camera is disconnected from wifi and does NOT connect to the router. WTF?

I just added 2 E1's to my system of 4 others. Very surprised to find the new E1's have ethernet ports. The old ones don't! This will be a godsend as the wifi only ones often drop from the network. Is it reliable to assume new E1's (and Pro and Zoom) will have Ethernet? Also, does this mean the new E1's will have OnVif?
