I have been looking into upgrading firmware on my DaHua cameras. For the time being, I only have three. I have two HFW1320SP cameras, and one HFW2320R-ZS.

When I was looking for the firmware for the 1320s a couple of days ago, there was two that came close. They mentioned HFW1320S, but not my HFW1320SP. According to the magic decoder ring that @nayr posted, the "P" indicates PAL video format which is odd for a US targeted camera. The names of the files began with either "[PAL]", or "[NTSC]", so I took a chance and upgraded with the NTSC version. It looks like all went well, but if it hadn't . . . not much of a loss.

Now I am looking into my HFW2320R-ZS camera, and as with the 1320 cameras there is only one that comes close. It shows as being compatible with HFW2300R-Z, but I found none that specifically mention HFW2320R-ZS. According to the magic decoder ring, the "2" in my camera indicates a different generation, and the "S" indicates it has an SD card slot. Are these two differences significant enough for me to pass on them? If I had a way to recover the current firmware I would just go for it, but since I don't know of any way to go back I thought it better to ask the experts.

Thanks,

The firmware at the location below MAY work for you. Standard disclaimer applies: If it breaks, you're stuck with it. Generally, we don't advise upgrading firmware unless there's an overwhelming need to acquire some particular fix. The release notes for this firmware state:

1. Fix the bug that NVR cannot get alarm configuration from IPC.
2. Fix NTP synchronization inaccurate problem.
3. Support Onvif 2.4.1.
4. Close telnet port.

The link you sent looks like the same one that is on the Dahua site, which is interesting. The Dahua site has

"DH_IPC-HX2(1)XXX-Adreia_Eng_N_V2.420.0009.0.R.20151106". Is the build date June 11, 2015, or is it Nov 6, 2015?

Thanks,
