Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

Still not impressed with my night settings. Out of focus horrible when just walking through the yard. Any recommendations for camera conditions? Auto vs Semi Auto mode under zoomfocus?

These binaries you're pointing to are 228MB in size. The official binaries are only around 25MB. What is the rest inside the .zip? Virus? :winktongue:

People, I would be carefull with this 'firmware'. Never know what you might catch.

Certainly quite chunky.
But packed with multiple .bin files, .img files, sonia itself and all sorts of goodies.
Too much to choose from.
Not just a single image.

Did you try to shut down Blue Iris recording? I know I couldn't upgrade while my Dahua NVR was recording.

I did not, and I've not had that issue with any other dahua cams but I'm game for anything at this point, does anyone know if those firmwares are the right ones for this cam? I hate not being able to update my firmware but I'd hate bricking the camera even more.

It's working fine on mine.

Same question here. Is it safe to use those firmware files? I also don't need a bricked camera ;-)

I asked @EMPIRETECANDY about firmware binaries and he promised to ask the engineer on monday. I'm hoping he keeps his promise. I really need my issues (PTZ not zooming more than 2x in autotracking) with this March 2017 firmware or PTZ software solved. Or else a firmware or PTZ version to downgrade to.

I currently have this:

I know there is at least one version newer, the one I am trying to upgrade to is on the firmware section here, SD59225U-HNI I tried the PAL and NTSC versions. Every now and then it seems to go through but leaves me with the version above, unless the web interface is just a dirty liar, but most of the time this is where it stalls. If I leave it the web interface eventually just kicks me out to the login screen.

I think you said that before, how does that help me? even when the process completes the camera reboots and shows the same version I had when I started, it WILL NOT UPGRADE lol.

You were asking if this was the right firmware and thought you didn't see the previous post. ;)

Mine definitely zooms more than 2x on most of the tracking.
