Hi,
Recently was given a DHW2449T-S-PRO and a DHW2449T-S-PV. Based on search, the main difference PRO has 1/1.8" vs 1/2.9" as far as I can tell. However, software/firmware wise, the PRO has a modern blue theme web interface and the all important feature record to NAS that I am looking for. The PV has the older grey theme with no NAS support.

Was wondering, it is is possible to flash the PRO firmware onto the PV version? Or better does any one know the link to another firmware that has NAS support.

Thanks in advance.
 
Then it probably wont
Storage FTP; SFTP; Micro SD card (support max. 256 GB)


Generally no you cant update different model cameras with FW meant for another
 
Yeah normally, i i would never update any FW not meant for another. However, The name of the file sort of matches the model. Though from the web page description indicate otherwise with different model name.

This is the name for the HW2449T-S-PV (DH_IPC-HX2X4X-Kant_MultiLang_PN_V2.860.0000000.34.R.250415.bin)
While the HW2449T-S-PRO is (DH_IPC-HX2XXX-Hugo_MultiLang_PN_V3.120.0000000.17.R.250514.bin)

The PRO mask the same and even more model than just 2449.

Anyway, was asking if anyone out there tried to update.
 
I've rarely seen a camera FW updated that added features to match an existing higher up model. The 2449 series are cheap and under powered with 1/2 the RAM. The PRO model is almost a real camera with a 1/1.8 sensor

The 3 series is similar, a little better, with the only one I would recommend being the HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO
 
I really hate how FTP/SFTP does not capture the video the same way as when writing to NAS. NAS is more continuous recording while FTP takes clip and sends it.

I might just take the jump and try to force update with the PRO firmware and see. It is just software. The only issue may be it does not have enough storage.

:) if it is brick, I am sure one of you guys can help with unbricking it. :)
 
More reason to flash it now. Tried connecting to my freenas FTP and SFTP.. Both fail the test connect function. SFTP shows a "Right Verification Failure "and FTP shows "Server connection failure."

I got 3 new Dahua to play with 2449T-S-PV, 2449T-S-PRO and a 3849H-AS-PV. Both the PRO and 8MB has NAS support so it is ready. However, I am stuck on how to record on teh 2449-PV. I hate to have to use a microSD.

And here coming from Hikvision with an extremely old firmware everything works as describe, NAS, FTP and SFTP. But they are very old 2MB resolution with 1/1.2" sensor. I would keep these but they are dome type and the dome glass is so old and night time is a nightmare to keep it clean so that IR does not make everything white.
 
My guess is you force it you brick it.. Sure can be recovered most times.. Trying to update I am going to guess it will just fail..

About your other cameras.. I personally would buy a different housing and remove the guts from the Dome cameras and enter them into a larger then life housing that was meant for a Box camera. I know that Dahua has a few models seeing I have some IR some that are not IR and some that even have IR and Wiper.. Anyway could take the PCB from the dome cameras and mount into a external housing and use them as Box cameras.. Give a nice camera a new life.. That is what i would do but then not everyone takes these cameras apart like I do..

Just an idea.. Here is a Hikvision version with Wiper.. Not sure about the IR might need external.. But with a great sensor like the 1/1.2in should work great..

Just an idea.
