Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

That's unfortunate, but I think it is a user issue (i.e. you are missing a step), just like it was for me the first time where I couldn't get it to work.
If you want to post your step by step workflow I am willing to help!
I noticed there is a new firmware here: Index of /Firmware/Kamery -IP- stałopozycyjne/LITE265
Does Dahua have any release notes on firmware, where would one find something like that?
How is 210707 working, still stable???
Cheers and thanks!
Success. I did everything exactly the same as last time, but tried the tftp server @val-ipcam used and it worked for me.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Sorry, this is what I used

Getting the hang of it
Decided to give this another try and following @val-ipcam's previous comment and using TFTPD64 mentioned above, I was just able to successfully flash Dahua firmware into my Lorex LNB8105X using the 2020 firmware. Previously I tried it plugging it directly to a switch with my PC plugged in same switch and it never recognizes the TFTP server. Today, I'm using POE injector plugged into the PC and with tftpd64 running, I did a reset on the camera while it's plugged in and as soon as it restarted, it starts seeing the tftp server and flash went as expected. Thanks for everyone who gave their comments and what they did to get this going. It's been super helpful for those of us who has Lorex cam and wanted to give this a try.
On that note, which firmware are you using for this Lorex equilavent to ipc-hfw1831c-pir-4k? Is the one posted by Andy 2021 stable or are you sticking with the 2020 one?

I'm using DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000026.0.R.220822 with no issues.

@exarkun, is that firmware working well for you? I was looking at previous thread to find the download links, but came across others reporting missing "Audio Linkage" with this 220822 firmware version? Currently, I'm on the 210707 firmware with the ipc-hfw1831c-pir and unless I have overlooked something, one flaw I notice is there's no way just to enable PIR detection with light only. If PIR detection is enabled, it would trigger both the light and siren. Are you able to enable PIR with light-only without turn on the siren with this 220822 firmware?
I had shared directions for this here. At least it worked for me...
Urgent Updating DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430.zip
@EMPIRETECANDY , do you know anything about this firmware on Dahua's site? DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream2_V2.800.0000026.0.R.220822. It is listed here: undefined Just wondering if you are aware of what issues it may be addressing? Looking at that page in the link above, there seems...

Thanks. Is this /Firmware/Kamery -IP- stałopozycyjne/LITE265/Stare where you've gotten the 220822 firmware or did you get it directly from Andy?
Edited: Never mind. I've found it.

For those that is using the latest 2020822 firmware with this camera and would like to use the PIR for onvif trigger with Blue Iris and do not want to turn on the siren when PIR detects something, you can use the http api command below to do that. This is essentially disabling the "Audio Linkage" setting that's no longer visible using the Web GUI browser on this later firmware. Be sure to replace the x.x.x.x with the actual IP address of your camera.
At initial attempt using the web browser, it should prompt you to enter to your username and password. Afterward, it should return status "OK" if it's successful. You can check whether or not the setting is effective by running the first link below to review all the Alarm config parameters and look at the "AlarmBellEnable" and "VoiceEnable" settings specifically. From my testing, the setting will stick even after rebooting the camera and AS LONG AS YOU DON'T change with the Lighting configuration (Flicker vs Normally on setting and how long it stays on). If you change the lighting configuration, then you will need to rerun the commands below to turn on the audio linkage with PIR alarm.
#Review Alarm configuration
#Turn off siren sound when PIR is triggered
Also, if you would to setup Blue Iris to manually turn on the Light or Siren upon a trigger event or some automation you custom setup, you can use the http command below to do that.
#Turn on/off alarm light
#Turn on/off Siren
