@EMPIRETECANDY thanks for this. I’m hoping the 2 SD fixes mentioned in this release plus the DVRIP crash issue (also saw this on mine) will help with issues on my 2831’s. Is there any work done on raising the bitrate as I mentioned ? If not can you please ask Dahua to unlock the bitrate so we can at least use 15k bitrate like we could on the 7/31 firmware. Ideally would allow higher than that as its needed due to the noisy codec on the 1831/2831. Please let us k ow. Thanks
 
@EMPIRETECANDY upgraded 1 of my 2831's without issue. Unfortunately bitrate still at the lower rate. Hopefully we can get the bitrate updated in future though, capped in this release to 11264. I do see they moved from the 2.622 to 2.800 release now.

Thanks for posting this

Have you tried turning on the Area of Interest setting (set to max quality), and just drawing the area rectangle over the entire video frame? I've seen this deliver bit rates far above the normal limit before.
 
@EMPIRETECANDY, no issues with the firmware but was wondering if a grayed out option on the profile day/night could be enabled? Reason being is I have enough light that it never needs to switch to night so it stays in the day profile. I'm wanting to have a day/night profile to get the best at both times and have the shutter at 1/30 priority at night or 1/50 to help with motion blur. I can't though as the options to enable auto/color/night are grayed out so it stays in day only. I can use the time settings and its ok but depending on the weather or season I have to keep changing it. So was hoping to use the day/night profile but can't as the options are grayed out when used.

Is the older firmware can work well?
 
No more updates for this series?
 
Is it possible to downgrade from 2.800 to 2.622 with these cameras? If so, are there any specific methods to follow or is it just a regular upload?
 
Yes you can move between a 2.8 & 2.6 branch without issue. Just use regular firmware update method.

@stevob7, I've tried moving HFW1831E from 2.8 series back to 2.6 series, it did not work for me and I get a blocking message and failure. If you get it to work, please post back with how you did this.
 
@msquared thats weird you saw that message. I’ve completed this many times on 2831's without any problems moving between 2.6 branch and 2.8

Well not on my 1831's. I went from 2.622 to the 2.8 series and regretted it since. The failure message I get is in one of my other multple posts looking for solutions to the issues I was experiencing, but I have only been able to move up in version, never backwards, even on the 2.8 series. I have not been able to revert from 2.8 series back to 2.6, nor have I been successful to downgrade any 2.8 series to a lower 2.8 series, say 200107 back to 190404.

I have two newer versions here, I tried V2.800.0000000.5.R.200107 but it was not stable so I reverted back to V2.800.0000000.2.R.190404

Thanks for the info. I wasn't able to use any 2.6 series once going to 2.8, tried 20(2)00107 but saw no difference and also reverted back to 190404.
