I've also upgraded the firmware on my hardware, specifically the snc ch180 model camera, and been on the phone with support numerous times.

Originally, in the case of our model, the default rtsp timeout value used by the camera defaulted to "never", which in our application resulted in numerous, unstoppable streams being created over the life of the system, as network connectivity would drop and connections be reset. The answer to that problem was to specify a timeout value on the camera, but once we did that, we discovered that the streams would time out in spite of being sent periodic normal rtsp control packets. We noticed that VLC worked, but our custom client did not, and upon consulting with Sony support, were told "tough", and to use some other method (the details of which I wasn't privy to but could reproduce if desired) of keeping the stream alive.

<rant>These cameras may look pretty, and perhaps provide decent picture, but the physical behavior and the API is really junky and frankly not indicative of the price you pay for them</rant>

Yes, the firmware version is the latest for that model.
