No, that's your power supply for the camera. The USB-to-TTL cable only needs GND, TXD and RXD connected. Vcc voltage is always completely optional and almost always unnecessary.
im finding it impossible to manipulate those wires. those holes are too tiny and close together. any way to upgrade using a laptop and ethernet cable?

Most folks would solder some pins into those four holes, and use push-on connectors (Teflon jumper wires) to cable to them.
the 2.54mm pitch connectors i have are too thick for the holes and spaced too far apart. the holes are too close. i couldn't even hold the pins from the jumper wires i have because they were too bulky.

As ordinal dahua update using split module filename
Unpack firmware using winrar ignoring errors
Start ipc & stop boot using *
type
Code:
printenv
to see template for update
Code:
run up
for update using update.img, but you nont; have it
You need update each module
No new for you.

No!
update.img is not the same link firmware.bin files
Unpack zip file in attach for your DH_IPC-HX1X2X-Themis_EngSpnFrn_N_V2.600.0005.0.R.20170527.bin and use it for update

Code:
run up
so first i flash with update.img through the wires i will solder to the camera pcb using putty

then go to web interface and update with DH_IPC-HX1X2X-Themis_EngSpnFrn_N_V2.600.0005.0.R.20170527.bin ?

When you restore the camera to the state, then you will update it with the latest firmware or you can extract the necessary modules from the fresh ones and update them immediately.

ok, i soldered the wires on, opened putty and saw the writing update on the screen so i must have connected the wires correctly. now what do i do? i try typing on the open terminal window "printenv" but no text shows on the screen as if im not typing anything.

ok. that worked. when i did printenv i got a bunch of text print out on the screen.

when i do "run up", it's says "link down". i have the update.img file on my desktop.

is update.img supposed to be in a certain location? in the folder that is called "update.img" that is created when i unzip the package? or by itself?

how does putty know where to get the file from when i type "run up" ?

do i only type "run up" ? or is there other text i must type?

Your device ip is 192.168.1.108
Your gate is 192.168.1.1
if not, so make changes

You need setup server ip to your pc ip
Code:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.X
saveenv
You need run TFTP program & put at root or setup rott path to place that contain update.img file
Next
Code:
run up
If all is normal

if your gate is 192.168.1.1
ping 192.168.1.1

must be
host alive

be sure run tftp program at your pc with ip=192.168.1.214.
Check antivirus & firewall & no block tftp program

host is alive.

pc firewall and antivirus is disabled.

the camera is not pingable at 192.168.1.108 or visible on the network but that is because i am connected to it via serial i am guessing. camera is also connected by ethernet.

am i supposed to be using any specific version of tftp? i am using the one downloaded from ipcamtalk website.

ok, i managed to transfer the update.img to the ipcam.

i go to 192.168.1.108 and i can see it has dahua firmware now. so it was a success

only issue is i can't login to the camera with username: admin and password: admin

i even tried password 1234, 888888, 88888888, my old password, etc.

what do i do now?


edit, it's ok. i did a factory reset using the 2 pads on the the camera. i was able to login.
