Looking for firmware for Amcrest IP5M-B1186EW-28MM it reports model IPC-HFW2531SP-S

getSystemInfo returns:

Code: 
appAutoStart=true
deviceType=IP5M-B1186E
hardwareVersion=1.00
processor=SSC328Q
serialNumber=AMC066171F9E1AXXXX
updateSerial=IPC-HFW2531SP-S
updateSerialCloudUpgrade=IPC-HFW2531SP-S:01:02:02:7C:3D:00:01:00:00:00:04:400:00:00:00:00:00:01:00:00:100
I've tried the below firmware now without any luck

Code: 
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605.bin
DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3-USA_V2.820.0000000.0.R.201114.bin
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.0000014.0.R.191203.bin
General_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_Eng_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000008.0.R.190619.bin
DH_IPC-HX5(4)(3)XXX-Leo_MultiLang_NP_Stream3-USA_V2.800.0000000.21.R.201124.bin
DH_IPC-HX25(8)XX-Molec_MultiLang_NP_V2.800.0000000.19.R.200628.bin
 
DH_IPC-HX25(8)XX-Molec_MultiLang_NP_V2.800.0000000.19.R.200628 should work on that hardware, but I don't have one to test/prove that.

It does have that exact HWID in the check.img. May need to use TFTP to get it on there (not GUI upgrade...)

DH_IPC-HX25(8)XX-Molec_MultiLang_NP_V2.800.0000000.15.R.200313 (a bit older) should work as well...

sometimes, one can load the older FW over the Amcrest via GUI, but not the newer ones...
 
Has anyone done this yet? I have two of these and wanted to know if you can do the Dahua firmware swap.
 
I have flashed my Amcrest IP5M-B1186EW-28MM to Dahua DH_IPC-HX25(8)XX-Molec_MultiLang_NP_USA_V2.820.0000000.36.R.210723.bin firmware. Why? No real reason as Amcrest firmwares work fine for most part except sometimes ONVIF only works as admin user.

Step by Step instructions (used Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP)
  1. Download Dahua firmware from Index of /images/Files/Firmware
  2. Download the TFTP recovery zip file and extract to folder (call it c:\temp)
  3. Extract the Dahua firmware to c:\temp\root. You should have four .img files in there.
  4. Setup your network ip to 192.168.254.254 (follow instructions in Dahua TFTP easy bricking)
  5. Edit the commands.txt file
    tftp 0x02000000 kernel.img; flwrite
    tftp 0x02000000 partition-x.cramfs.img;flwrite
    tftp 0x02000000 romfs-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
    tftp 0x02000000 web-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
    tftp 0x02000000 .FLASHING_DONE_STOP_TFTP_NOW
    sleep 5
  6. Run command.bat, then tftpserver.bat.

Boom! You should have converted your IP5M-B1186EW-28MM to IPC-HFW2531SP-S firmware.
