Can anyone explain what this bugfix means?
"1. Genetec H.265 fixed stream bad pics"
Genetec is a Canadian company. Why is it mentioned here?

Some of these cameras have Genetec Security Center support built in which you can disable from services in the camera interface.

Thanks for the explanation and the link. However, I don't see any mention of Genetec in the camera settings. I don't see services section either. After reading the link it seems "Genetec H.265" simply refers to H265 broadly defined.
I noticed with the new firmware the maximum FPS at 4K became 14 while it was 15 with the older one. Also the specs state 15. I guess they "fixed stream bad pics" by reducing the max FPS. I suppose the camera is not truly capable of producing 15 FPS at 4K.

Most likely they mean it fixed an issue with h.265 streams going to genetec vms...
If in fact there is a 14fps limit, I am pretty sure you will survive with 14fps vs 15....
FYI .. SSA is in this version...
20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_Internal_PN_Stream3_V2.640.0000002.0.R.180523.bin
It appears to be a different branch suffix "2.640"
What I meant I can fix that bug myself by limiting the FPS to 14.
There is no mention of Genetec anywhere in the camera settings. There are no special streams for Genetec VMS. It looks like that pretty much all Dahua cameras are compatible with Genetec: Supported Device List | Genetec Maybe Genetec had problems decoding H.265 produced by this firmware. I suppose that's what you meant. Still a bit of a mystery.

Of course there is no special setting for genetec...it means they simply made a small chance to the stream to resolve a specific issue with genetch VMS...of course they are all compatible with genetch... They support onvif and and rtsp.
If anyone is interested I attached a file with a full list of camera models supported by this firmware. It was extracted from the firmware. It was called check.img. I suppose the updater checks against this list if the camera it is updating is on the list.
Is there a consensus on why there are two branches of the firmware. It seems to be specific to this line of cameras, so it is probably the best place to ask. Andy mentioned that English firmware is the newest but both branches are English and they go parallel in time. Somewhere I saw a word "internal" in the filename of a .640 firmware. Maybe it is indeed experimental. I wonder if anyone knows better.

Head up
This firmware will move and enable the P2P.
Old location
Network -> TCP/IP [P2P Tab]
New locaiton
Network -> Access Platform [P2P Tab]
If you upgraded with this firmware, I recommend you check your P2P setting and disable if you don't use P2P or cloud.

Anyone notice any autofocus issues with this firmware? A few of my IPC-HDW5231R-Z cams when I hit autofocus they just can't seem to ever focus correctly. I use the Day/Night utility so I don't really use the autofocus in the cam...but still looks like an issue. I tries, focus's out and then in very quickly...then slowly back out but never hits focus and stops. Anyone else?

When I updated my cams using the PAL firmware it set the shutter speed to 1/25. This caused auto focus to be very blurry. I changed my shutter speed to customized range form 0-30 and now auto focus is working correctly. I forget what I had it set to before so I will need to dial it back in tonight. Check your shutter speed setting?

Interesting.
Mine does this in full daylight, exposure on auto, auto iris (my usual daylight settings) and autofocus misses every time. Just for the heck of it I changed to manual shutter speed like you said above. Same results. It starts by moving the focus quickly towards near...then goes all the way in and comes back out rather quickly towards far...it gets real close to where the autofocus would be...but then starts heading back towards near very slowly...goes all the way in...then comes back out slowly...and never makes it. Very repeatable.
I just recieved my 5831/5231 cameras from Andy with the latest firmware and noticed that it says 'Config File' with drop down selections of 'Config1 / Config2 / Config3' is that Day / Night / Normal?
Is it true I can no longer schedule when the camera sets to a Day or night profile?
How are you guys adjusting Shutter Speed, can you only do that with Blue Iris?

I do have a epoe nvr but I couldn't see my cameras when I connected my Mac to the nvr (I have 7 cameras plugged in at once + Mac Laptop). I updated my lan tcp/ip in the range of my cameras but when I hit the cameras ip on the Mac I get nothing. But I can hit the nvr using the subnet. Something else I need to do?

This firmware is missing the ivsNaclConfig files (they are in 2.640.0000002.0.R, although that version has it's own problems) so IVS setup doesn't work in the NACL Chrome plugin.
Is this firmware ok to use on IPC-HFW4239T-ASE as stated in first post as the filename in the firmwares start 5x3x and not 4x3x ?
