same camera but other graphic view

Dear all

I bought 2 cameras by the same shop IPC HDW5442T-ZE and they both recognized as this model , when i look in the browser i have 2 different front pages look at the attachements.
At first i checked the firmware version and 1 is from 2023-08-02 and the other from 2022-06-29 and by both stands latest version , but i tried to install the latest version downloaded from the Dahua site but the firmware is not accepted .
Can somebody explain me why they are not similar ?

Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

As many of us are aware, Dahua decided to keep the same model numbers of some of their most popular models like the 5442-Z12E and the 5442 series cameras, but they have been updated with a newer GUI and specs that on paper show better than the previous version as was discussed in this thread...

leave ‘em be. They work the same for 99% of most peoples needs.

They are different chipsets for the same model camera.

The Grey GUI is the previous version and the white GUI is the newest version.

Because of that, you can only use the firmware for the chipset you have.

Thank you all for the quick replys , at first i thought it was not an genuine dahua canera ,
