You can export your configuration settings before doing the reset, then reimport them after.

This one is PAL (General_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_Eng_P_Stream3_V2.622.0000000.18.R.20171110) firmware and the other NTSC (DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.622.0000000.18.R.20171110).
The Cams are digital, so it doesn't really matter which one you use. If your camera now is PAL, stick with it.
If you don't know the difference between PAL and NTSC, Google it.

Note that reconnecting to the camera may be problematic if you have a subnet that is not 192.168.1.X, as the default IP address for these cameras is 192.168.1.108. There may also be IP conflicts if they do have their network in the same subnet.
This is where the Dahua ConfigTool will come in handy.
Keep in mind this post-firmware upgrade default process has been proven to fix issues on many occasions, so it should be considered mandatory after a firmware update.

Thanks I updated the firmware on both of my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Cameras and everything seemed fine... but I was forced to download and install the plug-in call webplugin.exe to get my video back online. This works fine for these two, but when I select my Dahua SD49225T-HN it forces me to download and install the plug-in for it. If I download the plugin for the SD49225T-HN then I can't view the HDW5231R-ZE without redownloading it's plugin. I did not have this problem before. I am using Chrome with IE Tab. Any suggestions?

Gotta sticky this comment
I’ve been having consistent successful results with pale moon and enabling web plugin upon prompt and reinstalling necessary plugin whenever prompt appears followed by force closing and restarting browser
As long as web browser version remains unchanged, I’m not being prompt to reinstall plugin
Been working consistency, IETab is last resort

By the way, IE Tab extension Chrome follows out-of-date security protocols which have long been patched within Microsoft's Edge browser. I'd steer away from IE Tab as its equally susceptible as the long expired, but once belloved Internet Explorer 6 (works alongside with ActiveX controls which predate IE 7 and IE 8),

I noticed there is an x64 version of Pale Moon, but you specifically mentioned x86. I think most would just use the universal Windows Installer, so any idea if it matters, or were you just reporting the specific version that worked for you?
Thanks.

Well I installed the new firmware after exporting my settings profile. Install went good, did a reset but when I tried to import my saved profile, it gave me a failed message. Not sure if there's some trick to get it to work. Also speaking of browsers and plugins, has anyone tried Firefox Quantum (58.0.1) with Dahua cameras. I'm using it on my computer at work and it seems faster so I'd like to use it on my home computers where I maintain my cameras and nvr. Right now I'm using Firefox ESR and all the plugins work.
it sure would be nice if there was a single app we could use to access our cams...this browser and plugin dance is a real joke...
