And unless there is a problem with that cam or there's feature that the new f/w might provide that you must have...I personally would not risk bricking the cam with new f/w.

I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade the firmware for a Flir/Digimerge/Lorex branded DNE12TL2 camera.

I used the way back machine to find the Digimerge web page where the most recent firmware was once located

firmware-software

FLIR Systems

web.archive.org

However archive.org does not have a copy of the linked file

http://www.digimerge.com/MMC/firmware/Digimerge_flir_IPC-HX3%282%29XXX_8M_Eng_NP_V2.212.GM00.1.R.20140607.zip

Does anyone know how I would find a copy of the updated firmware or figure out which Dahua camera this is so that the Dahua firmware can be installed?

Have you run this API command to confirm which camera it is?

Hi Does anyone have the latest firmware that was available for the QSee cameras QCN8068B and QCN8068BA?
I think im looking for

2.460.QS01.0.R, Build Date: 2017-09-28 for the QCN8068BA but cannot find it. I pulled out a new camera still in box and the firmware is behind all my others, and i don't seem to have the file anymore.
and i have no idea what file i need for 8068B camera

Unfortunately the camera is useless with the firmware thats on it, it wont auto balance or work with my NVR, I had a Hard Drive failure a year ago and sadly lost the firmware thats loaded on all the other cameras...

Or if possible to just use Dahua firmware.

Appreciate any help anyone can lend. The camera system still works and I don't really have funds to replace it, but i'd like the camera on the latest version with the rest.

Thanks
Jeremy

If you're referring to http://Camera-IP/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getDeviceType

It's a HTTP API command for Dahua and Dahua-OEM IP cameras.

Open a browser and put in your cam's IP address where it says "Camera-IP" and hit <enter>.
You should be asked to enter the cam's username and password.
The reply is its camera model number.

Duh. If it were a snake...

This command generates:
