Hi All,

At home a have a couple of Foscam FI9853EP cameras. I want to use the privacy filter on them. I have multiple of the same type cameras, but only one of them is supporting this function at the moment:

This camera is using the following (old) firmware:

The other cameras have the following firmware and does not have the 'Privacy Zone' function:

I came across a couple of other guides where a TTL to USB cable is used to recover the firmware of the camera and I hope to downgrade my firmware using the same method.

Foscam support states that they do not have any (SD) recovery images for my camera. However, I found the following page and was able to download one there:
Github page with downloads to recovery firmwares

It contains the following document, stating that my camera is supported. I do not know if my camera is produced after 2015, though:

Does anyone know which firmware I can use to downgrade / recover my other cameras or why the privacy zone function disappeared?

Also, I was wondering if it would be possible to dump the firmware of the first camera and load it onto the other one. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

Joost
