    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    It didn't look that way in the screen shot posted at the beginning of this thread. Device Type was missing completely. Should show like this:

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    In case anyone is wondering, I upgraded to the latest Volt firmware on the dahuawiki site (V2.820.0000000.4.R.210527) and it has this same bug. When logging in as a user other than 'admin' the video settings are all blank. I also tried deleting the user and re-creating it, that made no...

    Same form factor as SD1A203T-GN but with better camera?

    Depends how you define better. I've got a bunch of SD1A203T-GN in use and replaced one with a SD1A404XB-GNR. Sure, it's higher resolution, but it wasn't a dramatic difference. I'm not in any rush to upgrade my others, but if I was buying one today I'd probably just go with the SD1A404XB-GNR...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    This seems to work slightly better on my HDW5831R-ZE, the live feed starts streaming much quicker via web browser and via local tinycam app access. Maybe this is just due to it being freshly rebooted but I'm crossing my fingers it stays this way. I did have to reboot my camera before applying...

    New Firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000013.0.R.191202.zip

    Yup, and presumably if it's security related, they want to keep quiet about the details so as to not encourage people to take advantage of it....that's my thinking at least.

    New Firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000013.0.R.191202.zip

    As far as I know there's no changelog available, I just find it suspicious they felt the need to release a build one day newer than the previous one....the assumption being they found something serious enough to warrant another release so quickly after. Dahua seems spotty with firmware...

    DHI-NVR4108-P-4KS2 V4.001.0000000.0, Build Date: 2020-02-21

    I noticed my IVS events from my IPC-HDW5831R-ZE finally show up correctly in the search function on this version. So maybe 4.001 is what 4.0 should have been in the first place, seems like they're finally knocking out some of the major showstoppers.

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Try https://dahuawiki.com/images/Files/Firmware/ They moved some things around a few days ago.

    I got a free IP5M-T1179EW-28MM from Amcrest - Same Menu's as Dahua?

    Any hints what Dahua model number this might be? It physically looks a bit like the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS, but clearly it's not since it's 5MP and not 4MP and you mentioned there are plastic parts. It seems like this could be in the same family as the IPC-T2431T-AS that Andy is selling. I'm...

    IPC-HX4XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.11.R.191230

    Is there a Dahua branded version available? I prefer the model number to show up in the web interface and configtool....

    If lighting wasn’t an issue..which camera?

    I've got a 5442 and a couple 4k cameras (5831 and a Laview fixed lens). There's some pros/cons to each I guess. First of all I doubt you're going to notice much difference between the 4MP and 8MP, I honestly don't. In my opinion 4MP is good enough in most cases and gives you a shot at reading...

    Dahua NVR 4KS vs 4KS2?

    Great info, I'd also add that non-PoE models have an external 'brick' type power supply and are quieter than PoE models which have an internal power supply like a computer. I have an NVR5216-4KS2 purchased from Andy and I have replaced the 40mm internal fan with a Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM fan, this...

    New firmware 992108_DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000001.4.R.191129:

    Looks like Dahua has posted the 20191218 version...I have not yet tried it myself, so use at your own risk https://dahuawiki.com/images/Firmware/New_GUI_4.0/DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000001.5.R.191218.zip I'm very curious if the issues with the NVR picking up IVS events correctly are...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Ahh ok, I only saw it literally one time. Booted up the camera out of the box, installed Dahua firmware and never looked back.

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    That doesn't look like a LaView screen shot, on mine I just uploaded the image normally and it rebooted and was Dahua branded (although the model number did not change). I used the Chrome browser to do the upgrade and have upgraded it a few times since with no issues. You definitely don't have...
