Sorry, if this information is somewhere on this site, but I've spent over 90 minutes looking & searching to no avail.

You need to connect the camera and get the serial number from there to find out the region.

I had the seller connect and the full # is:
[h=3]DS-2CD2142FWD-IS20160422BBWR594199052

So the region is WR <- World/multilanguage.
Is this supported in US and is the firmware upgradeable?[/h]

Actually I don't think I've ever seen a Chinese version of this camera - do they even make them?
