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

    I told you in the other thread after you got the NVR flashed to Dahua firmware that the Lorex cameras cannot be cross flashed. Only the NVR can. The cameras use a Lorex signed firmware that will only accept another Lorex specific firmware.

    Lorex

    Great to hear you got it to finally work right on the NVR! Now you can use the Dahua web interface and update it to the most current versions of Dahua software. From what I have found, the Lorex branded cameras cannot be flashed to Dahua firmware. They are made by Dahua but have a custom...

    Did you follow the instructions here - Lorex Another method - if trying to update using the "run up" command might be to try to update individual parts of the firmware one by one using this method - Lorex I did compare and according to Lorex mine and yours use the same firmware. So one of...

    Lorex

    ARP Retry Count and Bad Magic Number are the issues. ARP retry is likely a networking thing. Not sure if it matters but when I did my setenv commands for the IP addresses I used this format which adds what each line is specifically for. setenv serverip 255.255.255.255 setenv ipaddr...

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

    Maybe, and only maybe..... flashing it via a direct TTL connection to the internal circuit board might work. That is a lot more involved though and requires a TTL adapter, manually extracting the firmware, then use a terminal emulator command line to interrupt the boot loader and and manually...

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

    Ah - yeah I think wittaj might be right. I remember reading on some other thread about that a while back that some of the newer firmware might not allow cross flashing without first downgrading to an older firmware. I guess if an older firmware cannot be found or if the device is new enough that...

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

    READ my post at the top of the page, about 5 posts up. I detailed exactly what you want to look for and gave a link to the Dahua firmware page. You found the Amcrest firmware already. When you go to the Dahua firmware link above you can see there is a matching Dahua firmware from January 18 2022.

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

    I cannot say I've seen any performance improvement crossflashing any of mine. I did find additional features (cannot remember specifically what anymore). Also better odds that if there is a bug or security patch needed that Dahua will implement it before downline rebranded ones do. Of course...

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

    To figure this out, you first have to find the Amcrest firmware for the camera. Firmware Upgrade | Amcrest Technologies Then you look at the file name to find the type name which is type number plus a name (both are critical). In this case you find that it is a "Hx25(8)xx Molec" device. The...

    Dahua removed links to firmware and software

    I have always gone to the official Dahua Wiki for software/firmware. You can also directly browse the file system by using this link.... that being said, I don't see anything about an SDK there. https://dahuawiki.com/images/Files/

    Lorex

    I have no idea if trying to use a TTL serial adapter on a regular serial connection might be workable. TTL is 0v, 3.3v, and 5V signaling while that serial port on the NVR is standard RS232 serial which is 12v signaling. The console is getting something though but no idea what. Maybe trying...

    Lorex

    Garbled serial console data is usually caused by an incorrect configuration for the serial communication. I think the NVR's are usually configured for serial at 115,200 8 N 1 but maybe yours is set for a different speed or possibly the pins on the serial port are not configured right. Not really...

    Typical Dahua cameras failures?

    One of my SD1A203T PTZ cameras will only work when powered via the 12V power jack now. Will not power up with POE using the NVR5216-4KS2 NVR or with a Texas POE injector.....

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Maybe you can catch it with the Config Tool, select its checkbox and re-initialize it or restore the factory defaults using the Config Tool? Might be worth a try. Not sure otherwise other than maybe trying to manually connect its serial port and see what a console session shows and try to update...

    Dahua IPC unbricking / recovery over serial UART and TFTP

    Any of the DH_SD_Mao_Rhea versions are for that camera. The oldest is from 2016, and as far as I'm aware, the most current is from late 2018 and is DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_IVS_V2.623.0000000.7.R.181124. Look here to download --- https://dahuawiki.com/images/Files/Firmware/

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

    I've posted about this before quite some time back. There are a bunch of brands that Dahua is the OEM for like Amcrest, Clearview, etc... The key is to find a brand and model camera that you suspect is OEM Dahua (often easy to tell just by closely looking at pictures and comparing) and then...

    Dahua NVR with Lorex or HikVision cameras

    Lorex cameras are "mostly" OEM Dahua. You just need to change the default Lorex ports in the camera firmware to match the Dahua NVR first. Then they work using the native Dahua protocols.

    Dahua SD1a203t-gn-w Power Cable Connecting

    Get a POE injector and use that to power it through the network cable??

    Why is my 2mp starlight washed out ?

    On mine the WDR is helpful but the default level is way too high. I usually turn it down to about 20.

    Well I found a bunch more but there is no Wiki or index to browse them. It is complicated and its a large list.... Is there some specific firmware you are looking for?

    Ah - the ones he linked at this post Lorex the flir and box links. No idea where he found those specific links. There is also the OEM Lorex firmware wiki here > Index of /images/LX/Firmware and the regular Dahua firmware wiki I linked above. The Flir firmware wiki here > Index of...

    Lorex

    I'm not really sure on that to be honest.... Never tried it as the Dahua firmware is so much better but my guess is it would need to be done via the console cable. Glad to hear you got it going on the Dahua firmware regardless though.

    Lorex

    Ah - then you have to individually update the files.... So instead of "run up" You would need to upgrade each component individually. This is from the printenv on mine... da=tftp u-boot.bin.img; flwrite dr=tftp romfs-x.squashfs.img; updatepart; flwrite du=tftp user-x.squashfs.img; flwrite...

    You should be able to revert it to the Lorex firmware using the same methods with the serial console if you wanted to. The Dahua Wiki - Index of /images/Firmware

    Great finds on the Lorex and Flir firmwares! It can be tricky trying to match OEM to stock Dahua firmware. What I did was a combination of things. 1) I had found a couple of videos or pictures of someone installing a hard drive in a Dahua model that I figured was the same and carefully compared...
