Video not working with recent V5 updates for a Dahua PTZ

Mmm I take your point guys. But I do think this camera is the genuine article and it's more likely that Dahua has changed the hardware. From 2013 to 2017 I bought at least 40 Dahua cameras (for several BI systems) - all branded and ordered through Win Vision Technology Ltd, a supplier with every accreditation known to man! Dahua does upgrade their hardware, for example I bought 4 x HFW8231E-Z in 2016 for my home system that can no longer have FW updates because of this.
Since late 2017 I've bought $2,000 worth of cameras from Andy but have now thrown in the towel and only have my system at home to worry about.
 
I've seen this problem too. Rather than a long drawn out explanation of how I managed to screw this up and how to replicate the issue try changing the Hardware accelerated decode settings.

My setting was set to "default". When I changed "Intel" setting, everything worked again.

Default uses whatever setting you have under:
-BI settings -> Cameras -> "Hardware accelerated decode (restart)" If you have Intel chosen there default will be intel. But I wonder if a bug causes issues so choosing Intel vs default confirms intel? Or not sure saying choose intel in case your "hardware accelerated decode" under blue iris setting tab is not on intel.

Try any setting. Intel worked for me.
The camera that had the issue was disabled and hidden in BI4 just before the update.
When I enabled the camera (BI5) I noticed it had picked up the "default" value.
I am certain I have only ever used "intel" in this setting, so I changed it.

Just change it to intel so default = intel:
BI settings -> Cameras -> "Hardware accelerated decode (restart)" -> select Intel
