Have updated my test camera (IPC-HDW5231R-Z/ZE) with this firmware. Again works fine with Chrome without any plugins needed, haven't come across any issues yet and has been running for about 12 hours on the bench.

Updated my IPC-HDW5231R-Z, Gmail emails are working again. Thanks for the support
@EMPIRETECANDY .
Perfect! normally we report dahua for the bugs, they can fix up most of them at newer firmware, so that is why most guys prefer updated version. :)
 
@EMPIRETECANDY You told me the previous version of this firmware was also ok to use on my IPC-HDW4831EM-ASE. Is this also ok to install on IPC-HDW4831EM-ASE? I ask to be sure because your list above only has "423x" models.
 
All 5231s here updated and running happily - I just noticed one had been running at 100% CPU for over two months (it's uptime was almost 90 days). That was running the March 2019 firmware so odds are whatever was wrong there was fixed but I'll keep an eye out.

Actually from checking the camera the microSD died and toggled to read only so the CPU usage is likely because it was having issues with the microSD.

I hadn't noticed anything wrong with it from the Blue Iris point of view but having it run at 100% CPU for that duration is a pretty good stress test of the Dahua hardware in that it showed no issues with the video stream :)

How do you see the CPU usage?

The cameras all expose SNMP and I have a system here running called LibreNMS - LibreNMS

Basically that polls the live performance data which the camera exposes and then logs it all for reporting purposes and can alert when systems go down etc.

On these cameras they expose CPU usage, network throughput and uptime which makes it easy to spot cameras that are rebooting for whatever reason (like one of the old 5231 firmwares that rebooted every 19 hours or so).

Uptime:

CPU Usage:

Network throughput (a CBR cam):

It takes a bit of setting up but comes in useful for troubleshooting when you've got all the data sat there.

Hi Andy,
New to the forums here. Very happy to have found this newer firmware. Just out of curiosity; Where did you get it?
Seems very strange to me that dahua themselves don't distribute this update through their own "Manual check" for Online Upgrade interface. I have a IPC-HDW5831R-ZE, although its box and sticker say it's actually IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE, where the P is probably added for the PoE option.
So, what is your source for this firmware? Do you have internal connections with dahua ?

By the way, for those interested; I can confirm this firmware fixed all email config. Not just for gmail, but for a self-managed ispconfig server as well. I now have it set as follows;

@EMPIRETECANDY will always get firmware well before Dahua release them out into the wild... And they may only release them to installers / re-sellers. You can trust that if Andy posts a firmware it's legit.

IIRC, that P means that the initial firmware loaded on that model was PAL. The other option is N, for NTSC. With newer firmware, you can switch between PAL/NTSC anytime (as a "setting" in the firmware). Older firmware was either PAL or NTSC so if you wanted to switch, you had to load a different firmware.
 
Sorry if this has been asked & answered, before, but does Dahua post release notes for new releases? Perhaps indicating what's new in a new firmware release?
