Open the .bin files as archive and you will find the .img files inside.

You need to open the .bin file thru a program such as winzip winrar or 7zip to extract the files. I used 7zip and i couldn't extract the files unless i used a hex editor to change the headers at the very first line from DH to PK. After that i was able to extract without any issues. So to reiterate, i used a hed editor named HxD, any one will do fine. Use that to open the firmware.bin file. The first two letters you see are DH, change that to PK and save. After that, i right clicked the firmware.bin file and since i have 7zip installed, i choose 7zip>Open Archive. After that you can extract the files.
Edit i didn't notice BGChicago replied with help

Hi,
I think I might have bricked the cam. I waited for like 40 minutes but nothing happen. So i killed the power to the cam. I reset that camera but I can't access it via the x.x.1.108 IP.
Yes, i tried 7zip. It extracting the file but gave me 2 errors.
Thanks
Run constant pings to cmaera. If you get atleast 1-2 responses after power cycle - its not bricked.
7zip should vomplain about a signle file (i think it was "install"). Just read thru everything again and if you are getting pings after power cycle you will get there.

I still can ping to the camera but it is in and out. Not consistently like before.
I still can not access via the web gui.

Can you post the file name of the firmware you used? If you're not using the 190 mb file, that isn't the full firmware needed to cross flash over to dahua and you will be bricked until you use that file.

Look at my post, in the first paragraph should find the firmware you need.

Excellent! So you just pushed the camera FW via the NVR interface, or did you have to use uart cable? (Like stated from a different user above?) Thanks for the replies, much appreciated sir I used the method describe in the following thread: Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP...

I believe this is the firmware. It is listed as 190.97mb but when I downloaded, it is only 55mb.

Okay I just tried downloading on my phone and I can confirm it's only 54 MB if you can wait about 30 minutes I will upload my old download I saved
There is NO 190MB file hosted on Dahua website as I complained a few posts above.
The download says that it is 190 but it downloads as 55mb. I went thru this headache 2 weeks ago.

No. Use this file here. Also, sorry @BGChicago, had i seen your post i would've helped out. I haven't been on this forum in months and i was on today because i was replying on another thread about another nvr i crossflashed and saw a new post notification on this thread.

Gonna try to flash the came again. Hopefully, everything will be fine this time.
So I guess Dahua quietly changed the archive on their servers? It still shows as 190mb on the download page but once downloaded it is 55mb.No. Use this file here.

Do you know how long is it to flash the firmware? Once it is completed, is it going to stop the script by itself?
<10 minutes. You should see the end message. Then stop the TFTP server. Otherwise camera will start re-flashing again after reboot.
