Empiretech cams + NX witness

[net5035]

Good evening, I have two of Andy's cams (T54 + B54) with the latest firmware. I want to see ONVIF events in NX Witness. Apparently the camera is not recognized as a Dahua and therefore no analytic events can be triggered. Previously this was possible with original Dahua cameras.

Is there something I can do here?

Thanks!

Some people have had success with other VMS systems by flashing the Dahua firmware on Andy's cams. As long as the VMS isn't looking for the hard-coded stuff, it has worked in some instances based on my observations of people with other VMS systems.

The device info show:

IPC-HDW5442T-ZE - this? EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP IR Starlight 2.7mm–12mm Var
IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 - Is it this? EmpireTech IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP IR 2.7mm–12mm Vari-focal Bu

These are both the newest model? Whats the correct original firmware/model from Dahua?

It would be the Dahua 5442-S3 firmware. Same for bullet and turret version.

IPC-HDW5442T-ZE - Dahua International

IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

Along with the standard caveat that there is always a risk when flashing firmware, blah blah blah....

Perfect, thanks.

Do you know if this IPC-HDW5442T-ZE model is also the new version with 4/1 GB (5442-S3)? It seems to be the old one. Can I check it in some way?
