What exactly is mysteriously happening within 4 years? re the below quote Priceless - "others (Firmware) all Abandoned" - Andy you make it sound like people wanted to stay on v16! - Andy you must be joking! Nobody could wait to get away from your defective unofficial v16 firmware fast enough...

Found the command I mentioned to interrogate cameras for Hardware Version via web browser address bar which is http://<IP ADDRESS>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSystemInfo - will need to reply with camera log in credentials for a result - with thanks to those quoted

Andy why exactly are you "shocked"? When you just said "Sure talking the bugs always welcome!" - This is definitely talking about a re-boot bug (among many other bugs) that your unofficial v16 firmware caused - firmware that is applicable for 70 different models of Camera. Now you are talking...

All the problems you describe having IAmATeaf - you can't have already forgotten.....

Calm down IAmATeaf - Stop pretending that you don’t understand any of it especially considering all the problems you were also having with unofficial v16 firmware from Andy - there is none so blind as he who will not see

Good question - cannot find the answer so far - re "HEAT_MCU" and "squashfs" - "MCU" Micro Code Update? Micro Controller Unit? - "squashfs" fs file system? The Heat file (DH_IPC-HEAT_MCU_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707.bin) does have the same date as the firmware update - which implies that it should...

Found the 05 November 2020 article called “Ink-Stained Wretches” - quite long – see paragraphs 16 and 17 about Hewlett Packard using a 5 month delay programmed into their printer security firmware update to force people back to using only original HP ink cartridges very cynically timed to...

Interestingly this is the first time - ever! - that a Dahua IP Camera “Upgrade” page actually found an “Online Upgrade” by pressing “Manual Check” button did NOT use the “Upgrade Now” button as wanted to go back to PN Firmware from current (unofficial) v16 NP Firmware – have used both versions...

Interesting as v13 was last Formal / Official Dahua Firmware directly and officially downloadable from Dahua International website. But suddenly now v18 (Dated 07 July 2021) is downloadable from Dahua International website directly and in both PN and NP versions as ZiP files (with a couple more...

Is this Firmware for Camera model IPC-HFW5831E-ZE ? Seems to be the same firmware series as before just a newer generation. Will this solve the every 33 Hours Camera rebooting problem? From Firmware Version Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Any release notes?

Let’s get down to specifics: - Andy - the Camera Model your firmware update is causing uncontrollable Rebooting on is IPC-HFW5831E-ZE meaning 8MP / 4K Resolution, Wide Dynamic Range, StarVis Night Capability, Bullet Style, Motorized Zoom and Focus – that Camera Specification is not going to be...

Unfortunately it is definitely the new camera Firmware causing the uncontrollable camera reboot problem............... Tigerwillow1 – I just wish I had your phenomenal patience to just accept so many different bugs so visible to the end user across so many different devices. Dahua hardware is...

At last a reply / acknowledgement of the updated firmware problem from Andy – and we all thought you were deliberately not replying for so long to this thread because you realised what a serious problem your recommended new firmware had caused on so many different cameras. Yes, all my cameras...

Thanks for that pc750 but.... All the Cameras on that network are the same model of Dahua camera and unfortunately they are all on the same latest Andy (EMPIRETECANDY) supplied firmware that started the self-rebooting cameras problem. The unwanted camera self-reboots happen every 30 to 32...

Hi Andy we urgently need your input - because interrupting power to the Cameras caused the camera self-reboot problem to come back again. We did as IAmATeaf suggested and ended up Factory Defaulting the cameras three times each before reprogramming all the settings from scratch - which...

Hi Andy we upgraded some IPC-HFW5831E-ZE Cameras with this 2.800.0000016.0.R – 2020-06-05 Firmware and since then they all keep rebooting themselves every 24 to 48 hours – why do the cameras keep automatically rebooting themselves since the upgrade? AND How do we stop the auto rebooting...

From what I can see the Milestone plugins referred to plug-in to the Milestone software on the PC to extend Milestone functionality - so Milestone can then understand the non-standard proprietary camera trigger etc. outputs (the non-standard proprietary outputs that Dahua create to try and tie...

In a marketplace that is now well and truly saturated with installed cameras - AI is the next way of making money Dahua etc. have come up with to try and drive sales while tying everybody into only using their equipment/ecosystem from camera to network switch to NVR exclusively - AI will only be...

Ah-ha - Hi Andy! DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605.zip - You mean this is unstable pre-release firmware? Download Link Please. - Release Notes? Even newer than the link I was just pointing to of DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430

Hey all you Guys - do you realise there is a Newer Firmware Version also covering security vulnerabilities at...

Dahua are turning into a Chinese version of Microsoft - constantly dropping powerful hints / annoying people to upgrade to the next generation hardware instead of fixing the current generation - until one day everybody stopped bothering to upgrade to the next version of Windows and suddenly...

I will be controversial and say 8MP/4K Cameras are the way of the future (also as TV resolution is moving to 4K it is not likely to become an orphan/odd resolution that will need scaling to fit on every viewing screen - but you can view 4K images on a regular non 4K screen) - it is incredible...

So you mean everything is working as before and working fine on Pale Moon v27?

Do the missing buttons come back if you use Internet Explorer with the plugin? Or is everything still missing? On previous firmware's I had fewer buttons on different browsers - but I think they all came back using IE and Plugin - presume you have memory card in camera for recording and that...

Check to see if it is coming from the overlay - log in to camera GUI - select "video" then "overlay" tab then "channel title" then see if using "Disable" radio button makes a difference? The "IPC" text should be visible on that page under "input channel title"

I also found the Sonia Overflow Google info - makes you think. You could calculate the MD5 hash for the last file you downloaded and compare it to the MD5 for the dubious first download - are the files truly identical? Remote possibility that the first copy was corrupted during download which...

Hmm... unzipped the 191MB firmware (ver.14) download from the link in this thread (which seems to be Dahua USA) Kaspersky found nothing in the unzipped directory of files nor did Kaspersky find anything in the 25MB ".BIN" firmware file that the camera would use to update itself - could not unzip...

That is very worrying - a patch to close a (supposed?) security hole instead comes with a Virus - have you scanned any previous Dahua firmware's? Did any previous Dahua Firmware files show any virus infected files? I was going to install/try the new 64-Bit version of Dahua's Smart PSS for...

and Reason behind it might be it was too secure and broke something else that only worked using unorthodox (insecure) programming shortcuts which rely only on obscurity for security OR the initial security patch did not completely secure the exploit/hole - which is why it would be nice if...

Think about the alarming implications of that comment by Dahua - when an internal counter reaches a certain point Dahua will automatically "lock" the system (camera) and you can go and pay for a new one - what appalling built in obsolescence - do ALL Dahua PTZ cameras have this 95% lockout...
