Good question. In the end it turned out that most of my issues were due to a lot of web UI functionality is limited to IE browser (with IE-specific plugin). This applies to zooming, backup, saving clips and video display/decode performance in general. It's a bit annoying they don't guide you to...
I asked Dahua support about it and their ridiculous response was it would be too much traffic on their website to offer regular firmware updates to its customers...
I got this firmware URL from Dahua Support for my DHI-NVR4216-I because of issues with the firmware it was shipped with.
