eBay. There are a lot of sellers of this model and each of them list it at 1080@60
if you google search the aforementioned model there are a lot of 60 FPS mentions. But I see the official doc from dahua showing max resolution at 30. Hmm. I can contact the seller and inquire.

With ebay and amazon, you are dealing with Chinese vendors. There is no incentive to tell the truth, sales are what counts. The camera you have may have been hacked to English and may not support upgrades.
That’s very unfortunate. I reached out for support I’ll see what happens. Are you aware of any 60fps cameras with 1/1.8” censors ?

No requirement. Just a beautiful picture. I will have it set at 30 at 3mp that still looks nice. I really enjoy the smoothness of 60 FPS for overview images that don’t require Face ID /detail

Also storage. You need to use 4 times the bitrate to achieve the same image quality as 15fps.
I have the resources so I’m not concerned about that. I just wanted the extra frames for personal satisfaction. It’s ok it looks like I got a little lesson on eBay auctions

@MicahJames - given where you bought the camera, in all likelihood trying to update will brick it. Look up how many bought a camera from a questionable source and bricked it trying to do a firmware update.
I guess you can try and see, but it wouldn't be the first instance where they claim it is English version and up-gradable but isn't....
Most here will purchase from @EMPIRETECANDY

Dang. Ok good info to know. I messaged the seller about upgrading. I had no idea there was a black market for these cameras. Is it all the same hardware with different clone firmware? Hmm

You should have no problem updating that camera as its an international model dahua.
