It seems that my camera is working or it always works in strange circumstances...

It apparently boots up and it needed to be initialized because it`s lens were faceing down...which caused day -night configuration icr - electronic to malfunction...

When I cover the lens camera buts up the ICR or Electronic shows auto mode - but the picture is always black&white...
i tried to switch to color but camera looses network connection and it is in some kind loop no boot up nothing...(i need manualy to reset)

I tought it was beacause the small file i flashed so i flash again the firmware 2.623 , and it was the same...


Later i decided to flash on higher version beacuse my boot loader interupt wasn`t working with camera network because it waited to be booted fully...

so i flashed with 2.8 firmware form official dahua page...

Can you tell me what is wrong - why am i not seeing picture in color?
And is it possible to go back wih 2.422 firmware ??

here are the pictures when i cover the lens camera is visible throught network...


this is the firmware

I unpacked it and install only the big file 30mb (DH_SD-Eos_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.5.R.190827.bin)

how long you press the reset button and is your camera also give some cliking sound once in like a minute

the 4.22 firmware was successfully but camera ist accessible through port 3800 any more webif still not works
camera is acessible through 3777...

The clicking is ithink it tries to combine color or b/w picture ....

i figured it out that i flashed the correct firmware 2.63 but later i flashed mcu file
General_SD59XXX-HN-MAIN_MCU_V2.300.0000000.10.R.170926 which has 30 kb and it is causing the problem...

my camera turns on when i cover the lens (because it respond on the light - causing the clicking sound (like it is switching between the day and night)..after covered lens camera boots fine... http 192.168.1.108...

i pushed reset buton for 1 min....

i Think this is the problem ....

i figured that i need to flash main mcu---beacuse this file is related to same camera starlight 2mp 25xzoom but bnc model ......

the new firmware 2.8 doesnt have inside components of mcu1.bin and mcu-x.bin ....i have flashed with this sd59xxxxhmain-mcu (in the screen shoot you can see the diference between two files)

i need to install the mcu1.bin and mcu-x.bin and put them in similar file like sd59xxxx-hmain-mcu (this file flashed within windows web gui without problem)...

can somebody help me with this ...


put this files from firmware 2.60 to this smallbin sd59xxxx-hmain-mcu file so i can flash it


the link for 2,60 firmware
the link for sd59xxxx-hmain-mcu file

It seem that my problem with my camera is related to wron FIRMWARE FOR PTZ OR MCU ...

Which I read and followed on this forum...



Now when i flashed the camera with this MCU

The color mode is restored but the camera is spining when i move it more than two times...


This is all due to wrong MCU that was posted in the thread ...Mine camera would be working now if it wasn`t for that ...You have to flash two files...

Now what ...What is the wright MCU file I have them both in the FIRMWARE which is LOWER version that i have ???

now what i have to downgrade the camera so the firmware in the package could install the mc1.img nad mc-x.img in them..

Here are the firmwares signed...

Rory install one of these firwmware if you see the cam in config tool....

I have also downgraded on 2.422 then web gui was scrabled ( i preformed reset of one minute holding the reset button)
then i upgraded to version 2.60
if you want to you can go higher to 2.80 (on this version the bootloader updates to 2019)

When i was downgrade-ing from 2.8 version to 2.442 in boot loader(was 2019)

i needed to flash the bootloader to version of the firmware

do not update bootloader if you do not have to


link to firmwares

30kb bon is the ptz firmware or main mcu


You need to flash the 25 mb version file or something...

Ptz firmware is not so important it controls the ptz movement...

Try flashing with version 2.600


I have flashed firmware by serial connwction,
Got i to the bootloader through putty,
Flashed firmware 2.42 over 2.80 that was on camera

I got error like canot write bootlog...

After that my camera was going i to boot loop.
Again i made conection over serial by putty...
Flashed the bootloader and then the rest of the comands... (bootloader is file name dhboot.img)

When my camera started into gui interface by internet explorer...

The letters were scrumbled, so i flashed with firmware 2.60 (upgraded the software)
And it was fine...

Try upgrading software by config tool if you can see the camera on the network...



I conected rx from usb to tx on camera
And tx on usb to rx on camera
Gnd to gnd on camera
And 3.3 usb to 3.3v on camera

Remeber the big files od 25 mb or so are the main firmware files needed to upgrade the camera or reflash it, the small files are the ones to update or reflash the main control unit or the PTZ controls ....

when you flash the camera with the firmware 2.80 it is reviewed in the upgrade tab - software version 2.80
web version changes to new one
onvif version changes to new one
and the ptz software remains the same if you didnt flash it or here is the newest mcu or PTZ software version file that ANDY (from this forum) gave me

Try updateing little by version 2.60

then 2.63 and 2.80 if you don`t like it....
you can always flash the main mcu file over any version of the main software is it 2.42, 2.60, 2.63 or 2.80..


I just had a problem that i flashed with the main mcu version of 59xxx camera version beacuse it is not my model of camera (my model is same as yours (dh-sd50255u-hni)


type if you had any problems

It is like that on some camera that you have to connect rx (recive conection) to tx (transmit connection) and tx(transmit) to rx(recive)..
I tried to rx to rx and ty to tx i didnt recive any info by putty...


There is also a thrrad on this forum that says that you can flash dahua cams by 3 ways


1. Normal from config tool of web browser via GUI ( graphic user interface)

2. Conecting camera to tx, rx,gnd, vcc 3.3
Serial to ttl usb adapter
(THIS WAY YOU CAN CHANGE THE
Ip adress on camera where the camera looks for server that holds firmware files(your computer)
Default is 192.168.1.1 if your conputer adress is 192.168.1.4 (you change ip adress of server on camera 192.168.1.4)

This way you can type printenv see the information on camera.
Execute some comands that are predifined in camera like
Dc=
Dr=
Dw=
You see them when you type printenv

Run dc
Run dr
Run dw

Execute that programs...

3. Way is by scipt were this comands are entered on txt file.
You set your network adapter acording to instruction on that thread and execute those bat files
Commands.bat
Console.bat
server.bat

Camera boots up and looks for ip server (that is your computer set to ip adress 192.168.1.1 and another ip adress 192.168.254.254) if there is a upgrade(some numbers).txt

Looks for upgrade and runs commands that are set in comands.txt file
(By this way you dont need usb to ttl adapter...because you dont nees to type comands to upgrade - downgrade firmware manually (by typeing comands)
The script does this for you, and protocol on camera (when camera boots up, it looks up for upgrade file)


The main thing is that you can see your camera on network.


I was having a problem that i could not ping my camera of see it on network...

That was a problem because i could not upgrade my camera any way ...because transmition of firmware is done by network cable....

Not usb to tll adapter ( it is only a tool to see camera parameters and manually input or set comands)

When you enter the camera through serial by usb adapter

There you can manually flash firmware by executing commands
Run dc
Run dw...etc...

But if you reset enveromental table meaning you setting of the camera as i did by mistacke...

Why? Because i tought it woukd bringmy network up and i would be able to flash the firmware....

My camera latter had only ip adress mac adress (which wasnt the one from the camera sticker on the box)


My s/n was the sam as the mac adress and my camwra was not named dh-sd50255u-hni but ca20225u
