@EMPIRETECANDY could you link me the most recent firmware there was for the HFW-4300?This model is too old, they stopped the update from 2014.
This is what is currently on there.

Sounds like you did a factory default if the IP changed. You need the config tool to change the IP. Config Tool or plug in the camera directly to a laptop, change your laptop's adapter settings so it matches the new IP of the camera . Then log into the camera and change the IP from the gui.I tried to upgrade after reboot but it didn't work. So i followed your method and then web gui showed upgrading and a progress bar. And then boom web site couldn't be reached. I thought its restarting. Waited for some time but can't login using same ip . And dont get any ping response either. I disconnected power to POE switch (accessible quickly) and reconnected after a minute. Now it shows an ip not in my dhcp range. And I cant login to that new adreess either. Any thoughts?

Will that make a difference?Is the new IP by chance in the 10.x.x.x range?
Unplug POE. Open Camera, find the reset button, hold it tight, and plugin the POE. Let it powercycle after holding the reset for 30 seconds. Thén it will be on 192.168.1.108 (or was it 192.168.0.108).Nothing is working. I took it down and connected to to computer. Not showing in config tool or smart pss. Before connecting I changed computer ip to static in 192.168.x.x. next, i tried to reset by using reset button. No use. Not showing or responding to ping. Tried pinging default 192.168.1.108. anyone got a better solution?
I am connecting to power using a POE injector that's working in normal condition. I use PC not NVR.

Did you reboot your camera before upgrading?Updated my camera and can no longer access it via web interface.
The camera is still works and records on my nas, it is also recognized in smart pss and shows the new firmware.
How to fix the web access?
No I didn't. I didn't know I had to.Did you reboot your camera before upgrading?
Did you factory reset your camera before upgrading?
Maybe little too late (but worthwhile remembering for "next" time), you can try to:
- factory reset through ConfigTool (dahuatoolbox component)
- factory reset through SmartPSS
- hardware factory reset through the button inside your camera.
Good luck!

If you encounter "weird" behavior (some bits work some bits don't), then you either keep things as they are, or you try to fix them. Doing a factory reset is the first thing to consider. Reconfiguring the parameters is the least of your concerns, because maybe some of the inherited parameters did exactly cause these "bit that don't work anymore". Dahua (nor any other brand) will test each firmware with all possible configuration settings. If you have a 1 in a million specific (exotic) setup, you should care about this factory reset. Plus, do not forget: ample users are running on an NVR, which also plays an important part in "passing on" parameters from the NVR to the camera.These instructions also do not mention resetting the camera.
Also I don't want to reconfigure all the parameters every time I update it.

Can't see an option to do a factory reset via ConfigTool or SmartPSSyou can try to:
- factory reset through ConfigTool (dahuatoolbox component)
- factory reset through SmartPSS
- hardware factory reset through the button inside your camera.
See post #5. Andy replied to that question already.what about the
HFW5241E-Z12E ?
I did this and still nothing. @EMPIRETECANDY any suggestions?Unplug POE. Open Camera, find the reset button, hold it tight, and plugin the POE. Let it powercycle after holding the reset for 30 seconds. Thén it will be on 192.168.1.108 (or was it 192.168.0.108).
