    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    Are there any best steps to downgrade a firmware (i.e. reset, etc after upgrade)?

    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    I guess the question is how does one turn off the siren on the later FW. The one you provided DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.bin has this option, but also later versions address security issues so what is the recommended step?

    Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip

    I upgraded mine to V2.800.0000026.0.R, Build Date: 2022-08-22 and can confirm that the Audio Linkage is also missing. -what does this function do anyway, I don't find any documentation on it "Audio Linkage" I don't use the detection on the camera, I use BI instead, but this is a good point. I...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I noticed there is a new firmware here: Index of /Firmware/Kamery -IP- stałopozycyjne/LITE265 Does Dahua have any release notes on firmware, where would one find something like that? How is 210707 working, still stable??? Cheers and thanks!

    That's unfortunate, but I think it is a user issue (i.e. you are missing a step), just like it was for me the first time where I couldn't get it to work. If you want to post your step by step workflow I am willing to help!

    Success!! Thank you for the instructions TXT file @val-ipcam , and also I appreciate you responding, as I was very frustrated and wasted a lot of time. @exarkun see below 1) I missed the part about having the 2nd IP (192.168.1.1) - my mistake here!!! 2) For me there was also the problem of...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    Called back lorex after they sent me the wrong fw link, and was told there is no newer firmware than the 2018 one for the LNB8105 or LNB8211 (same camera). Would much prefer to have the Dahua fw on it. @val-ipcam any chance you can chime in here considering you were able to flash the Dahua fw...

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    Since these doorbells are all Dahua rebranded, do they still try to TFTP at boot time in order to grab firmware, like the POE cameras, or do they have a different behaviour? I'm tempted to try and load up Dahua firmware on it via SmarPSS, but I don't want to hose it... :)

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I would try it at $55 if it can be powered off the doorbell wiring; where do you see it at $55?? I can't get ethernet there, but it's my side door, and really it would be ideal to get a camera on the side as I don't have a way to get power for any camera there.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I called Lorex, gave them the model number and then they told me to download this and upgrade it via the GUI. However it didn't work. In their email where link was provided, it said for "LNB8973B" which is definitely not the LNB8211/8105. I don't know if the features matter or it's supposed to...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I've also used a hub to connect both sides (PC and Camera). In the past I ran into an issue updating an access point, by the time the PC ethernet port initiated it would be too late for the AP to connect via TFTP and grab the firmware. I pulled my hair out till someone suggested putting a...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I see, thanks for that info. Yet I don't get anything on the TFTP, not even a tried connection from the camera while it's booting. I have a 12V power supply I'm using (which I've tested and it works, camera is powered up just fine with the DHCP IP, etc) and then connecting right to the laptop...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    Nothing on TFTP, camera is on DHCP and instructions aren't clear if one needs to set the camera for 192.168.1.108 as static IP or if it defaults to this is it doesn't received any DHCP request. @val-ipcam to you recall, did you set your cameras with static IPs 192.168.1.108 or did they default...

    @val-ipcam I'm getting ready to flash the Lorex, just wanted to confirm. -I've downloaded the file you provided upgrade_info_7db780a713a4.txt that will tell the systems what it needs (in the TFTP root) -I've downloaded the firmware BIN file...

    Set GOP (I-frame interval) on Lorex cams that don't have this exposed in the web UI.

    Saw this thread as I was also looking at putting on Dahua fw on the Lorex (in this case it's a LNB8211x which is the same as LNB8105x it seems). You can use SmartPSS tool on the Lorex, and all these options can be changed via that tool GUI - if you're not comfortable with the API. I just...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I'm not sure what that means about the review sample. There is RTSP yes. It can also be configured through the SmartPSS software, but when changing some settings is screws up the video; however this is not permanent and a factory reset fixes it, but a hassle. The Amcrest 410 seems to have the...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I've had the Lorex 2K (same as AD410, Dahua and IMOU) since December. It's been great, solid reception and great picture. I would get the Reolink POE in a heartbeat if I had ethernet cabling running up to the doorbell.

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    Hi gang, I just picked up a LBN8105x, or so I thought. Checking the info in the menu, I see: LNB8211X actually. A little digging shows the same camera under different models? LNB8105X: https://www.lorextechnology.com/downloads/ip-cameras/LNB8105X/LNB8105X_Series_Specs_R3.pdf (document date...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I didn't have a chance to look through all 14 pages here, I have a Amcrest IP2M-841 and was wondering if there is a Dahua firmware for this camera. I followed the directions (based on firmware Amcrest_IPC-AWXX_Eng_N_AMCREST_V2.420.AC00.18.R.20200330) but didn't find any equivalent Dahua...

    Hi Mark, are you referring to this? IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 So one using BI could get a single stream with a combined video from both lenses?

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I'm looking to do this on the Lorex as well, loaded up the SmartPSS app, and it seems it can do it, but last time I used this appplication it totally screwed up the doorbell I had to remove it and do a reset to get it back to working.

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    Thanks for the reminder, I picked up 4 of these (DCS-2210L) a while back off kijiji for $50; they have slightly larger FOV than the cube you recommend above, just slightly. I will give one a go and see if that will work, they are small enough to be exactly what I'm looking for, although very...

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    Hmm interesting, I have this camera and there is no autotrack feature. Kind of funny (not funny) I bought this camera more than 2 years ago, it's now 50% more and costs more than the 2431T. The Amcrest though has a 4mm lens, I'd much rather have one that doesn't need to move with and has a...

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    I get all that and I'm in agreement, but this is for the basement where we let our toddler go by himself and just like to keep an eye on him. Face recognition on a frozen frame is not important. Would be ideal to find a poe/ethernet camera with 120/130 fov diagonal and good sensor like the wc3...
