What's up with the Dahua line at the moment. Alot of the cameras are listed CHINESE on aliexpress.. Some are listed English, but if you message a seller and ask about the English listed cameras, if they are ENGLISH, they tell you that it is Chinese with Custom firmware. (Has this always been the case?)
Currently I'm looking to get a couple extra cameras..
MODEL: IPC-HDW4421C My current model has firmware: 2.400.0000.6.R, build : 2015-04-09 (I bought them late August)
A seller on ali has the same model, but Chinese with custom ENGLISH firmware. The firmware is: 2.400.0000.15R, build : 2015-08-30
I asked what the difference is and the seller said: "The difference is that you could not upgrade with Custom IPC"
Has that always been the case? Or with certain sellers? (I thought the region ordeal was limited to hikvision)
Is there any way to tell if my current HDW4421C cameras are custom English firmware? (I don't really care as long as they work fine with Dahua NVR and the menus are English. Atleast if there aren't any cons to it)
Thanks
