DHI-NVR4108-P-4KS2 firmware update

I have a Dahua DHI-NVR4108-P-4KS2 with very old firmware - 2018-06-05 and would like to update. I have already checked the forums here and I found the thread "Latest new NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_ V4.001.0000005.1.R.201126". I followed the link to Dropbox and it asks for a bank card, which I'm not prepared to provide for a simple firmware update. Can anyone here please help me update the NVR to newer F/W? Doesn't have to be the latest version, I just want to be able to do a live view in my web browser. Currently I have to borrow another computer with Windows to use Edge with IE mode just to do the live view.
 
You need simply to use Dahua website & search function for Your model :)

Click on the download firmware button. Says unavailable for me :).



The NVR4xxx - 4KS2 firmware from this page. Click Downloads > firmware.

I suggest updating firmware by putting the downloaded files onto a USB stick, plugging into the NVR and following the pop-up message to install.

Reload page & click on more time..
You can upgrade using NVR web service via web browser, Dahua config tool or using USB stick & HDMI interface..
 
Be aware, that after that big jump over firmware version You can have (or have not) some problems with stability of NVR...

Best solution is to do default configuration to factory one and configure NVR from scratch.
Of course You must known / remember all passwords to cameras and what options You done on NVR..

I have a NVR-4116HS-4KS2, this one: Just for shits I checked it's firmware version; and it's System Version 4.000.0000.4 with Build Date 2019-11-29.
@EMPIRETECANDY has General_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000005.4.R.240808.bin with firmware date 2024-08-08 (so almost 5 years more recent) in his download section, but the improvements button does not work so I can't see what changes this firmware has.

I know, if it works don't upgrade it, but still; anyone know what has improved/changed between my current firmware version and this latest/last one?

You are safe to upgrade it straight to latest version.
 
Well, the NVR is working fine so if the new firmware doesn't have some major/usefull improvement; probably not going to do that.
You should, there are a lot of security and stability issues fixed - five years have passed.
