    SD59225U-HNI upgrade issues.

    I'm not quite sure about which version it had when i received it. I just now downgraded from the March 2017 firmware to the July 2016 firmware:

    SD59225U-HNI upgrade issues.

    Yep, that's me. That my reason why i want to downgrade to the September 2016 firmware and maybe even the PTZ software to check if that solves my zoom issue. I am expecting Andy to reply tomorrow with a solution. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Will let you know if i have the correct firmware. In...

    SD59225U-HNI upgrade issues.

    Hehehe, weird huh? So many members and nobody seems to be able to help on this matter. I'm watching your thread also. I hope we can find the official september 2016 firmware and ptz software soon. Anybody?

    Did you try the PTZ limit settings? I wonder if that's what screwed up my zoom functionality.

    If you can find the September 2016 version, you could try that before going on to the March 2017 version. Perhaps you're taking too large a step from July 2016 to March 2017? Just my guess.

    Same question here. Is it safe to use those firmware files? I also don't need a bricked camera ;-) I asked @EMPIRETECANDY about firmware binaries and he promised to ask the engineer on monday. I'm hoping he keeps his promise. I really need my issues (PTZ not zooming more than 2x in...

    Is it really necessary to power cycle after upgrading firmware?

    These binaries you're pointing to are 228MB in size. The official binaries are only around 25MB. What is the rest inside the .zip? Virus? :winktongue: People, I would be carefull with this 'firmware'. Never know what you might catch.

    I upgraded to the March 2017 firmware and PTZ software without problems. I tried both the PAL version and the NTSC version. Both installed without problem.

    You're on the same levels as me now. I wonder if you're still having more than 2x zoom on autotracking? And there is a new feauture called 'PTZ Limit' (see below). I guess this is what destroyed my zoom function, so be carefull with that.

    Yeah, i would like to know also. And where to find it, since i really wish to downgrade.

    Autotracking by day is working good. However still the PTZ doesn't zoom further than 2x. So frustrating with this firmware.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Yes, i upgraded to the March 2017 and I an NOT pleased with it. I got autotracking working reasonably now with one intrusion area, however it isn't doing the job right every time. Especially with upcoming traffic it fails more than it works correctly. Also (and that is my main issue since i...

    Weird dude sucking on a balloon at 0.25 am. At least 25x zoom paid off this time. Tracking of the car itself ofcourse didn't. But nevertheless it provided some funny footage ;-) And then the police arrived (5 minutes too late): I wonder why my PTZ doesn't go beyond 2x zoom while...

    Can any of the senior members of the forum confirm that this is safe? I'm not certain about downloading firmware from unknown sources.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Yeah, i saw it. I should have seen that there is more than 1 page. On page 7 I see a link for the September 12 2016 firmware. However it links to the March 2017 file, so i still cannot find previous versions.

    Are you sure that's the correct and official firmware for the SD59225U-HNI?

    Yeah, i considdered that ;-) Thanks for the warning. I won't try it if i'm not 100% sure i got the right FW. I will ask @EMPIRETECANDY again if i can contact Dahua directly about it.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Is this where to get it? PTZ However it says at supported models it's about some EPC230U model. Might it work also for the SD59225U-HNI? I really want to test if downgrading to an older version firmware solves some of my issues with the March 2017 version (which doesn't even zoom anymore beyond...

    And where can i find previous firmware versions for the SD59224U-HNI?

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Yeah, that's just the thing. My camera seems broken all the time. So that's why i was hoping that newer firmware would make it better. However, now i'm seriously considdering going back to a working firmware. Is it at all possible to downgrade? And to which firmware version would it be wise to...

    @beingaware Watched your videos on youtube. Would you mind sharing what firmware version you're using? I find your image clarity and night color video very nice. Much better than what i'm having with my camera. You wouldn't have a backup of your firmware perhaps? I would like to try to downgrade...
