I thought I had it fixed but its still not working. I reset it numerous times and the green light goes off and comes back on. I can't connect to it directly through a web page. Config tool will find it and initialize it but even after that I can't connect to it. It's showing it has the new firmware.

Reset sets all of the settings to the default values for the installed firmware. On some models there are a couple of exceptions for the settings. In particular the IP address.

Hi! I have the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE I bought from Andy in 2018. I've never updated the firmware - using 2.622.0000000.18.R, Build Date: 2017-11-10
I have them blocked from the internet. I'm not using the upload function in the camera admin. Things are working fine so I don't think I'll update, but for reference, where can I download the latest firmware? Tried here: Firmwares
Thanks!

That is what this thread is for, read back a few pages.

Thanks for this. For anyone else a bit confused - I am reading multiple ways to get the firmware:
- "Just send Andy a PM"
-"Yes just update through the camera web GUI and you should be good"
-"Index of /images/Files/Firmware"
-From Andy "Lots of guys asked for this fw, i upload on the 1st page again." - This is now obviously what this thread is about - the most recent version is updated by Andy on Page 1.

Does the attached file in post #1 not open to give you details on how to download the version stated in the thread title?

If you found the firmware not work with your cam, can change back to
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip
IP camera very seldom brick, not like NVR.

I am using the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE with firmware V2.800.0000013.0.R. Do you recommend that I upgrade to V2.800.0000015.0.R? Some people in this forum were saying that the camera continuously contacts a Chinese cloud server, what is this all about?

If your camera al working well, then no need to make upgrade. I post the update list on the 1st page.
a Chinese cloud server,I haven't hear too much about this, as i know cams right now all use amazon cloud

I think I’ve found an issue/bug with this firmware, all my cams randomly, not too sure under what circumstance right now but I run all my cams with substream 1 disabled and substream 2 enabled. What I’ve found is that the cams revert back to enabling substream 1 and disabling substream 2 which causes BI to then report a no stream error.

I’m not too sure right now but I think it’s associated with powering the cam down ie unplugging the network cable or restarting the cam causes this issue.

I’ll do some more testing and report back.

Edit: scanning back through this thread I see that others reported this issue and it does look like it’s associated with power cycling the cam.
