I have 8x Lorex E892AB (IPC-HFW3841EN-PV-0280B-cayenne) cameras also have the NVR. I'm looking to upgrade to Dahua firmware (I heard Dahua has more features??) can anyone direct me to the Dahua firmware if available?

Below is the info
Device Type E892AB
System Version 00007
build Date 2020-07-24
WEB Version V3.2.1.921960
ONVIF Version 19.06(V2.6.1.887698)
S/N REMOVED
Algorithm Version 1.0.0
Security Baseline Version V2.1

Thanks in advance :)
 
You might have a version that is unable to be flashed to Dahua as they started cracking down on that and hardcoding the cameras to not accept Dahua firmware.

What year did they start doing it? Got them in Jan 2021 and haven't used them until now still on its original firmware from when I got it haven't updated it yet becauae I saw they maybe doing what you said.
 
It was somewhere in the 2019/2020 timeframe for some of the cameras OR they had a camera without a Dahua counterpart, so based on a firmware of 07/20, it is a strong likelihood that if there is a firmware available it won't work. I seem to recall that model is one that Dahua didn't have a counterpart.

Here is the masterthread you can look thru

How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

Found this on Youtube. Guy shows you how to upgrade Dahua OEM cameras such as Amcrest or Lorex to Dahua firmware and get all the features such as facial detection, intrusion, ect. I want to do it to my cameras but I'm afraid it might brick them or cause other issues. Your thoughts?

Thanks :). well if they did this then I dont think I will never buy Lorex/Dahua again lol. hell as I stated in my other posts. I have cheap Uniden PT Cameras that were rebranded from Hikvision to Uniden and they take Hikvision FW. so if I get Cameras again Hikvision it will be. (unless Hikvision has done same as Dahua?) Kinda sucks they did this

Yeah Hikvision is doing the same thing. They are tired of seeing people on social media bragging about buying the cheaper cameras and flashing to a higher end camera firmware LOL.

Or they simply stop providing rebrands of the models that they will sell for a premium.

Keep in mind Lorex was recently sold to another manufacturer, so at some point they will not be Dahua OEM.

We used to be able to tell within the firmware which model it was, but they started making that harder, so you had to look based on visuals on which one it looked like.

If you do a search here, I do not think anyone has been able to find an equivalent to your model. I think almost all recent Lorex and Amcrest cameras did not have a corresponding Dahua model.

Thanks, yeah just looked it up sold to privately held cloud services company headquartered in Taiwan called Skywatch. Wonder if my cameras themselves will get cloud features as I haven't been using my NVR. Wow Skywatch got ripped off lol Dahua paid 29 Million and Skywatch $72 million

Wait.... you're upset that dahua didn't want you flashing there from where on their consumer brand so they blocked it?
Wait till you find out the shit that hikvision does.... Where you going to go then?
