Who should I trust, DahuaSecurity or DahuaWiki?

Ok folks, I'm getting conflicting reports about Dahua's Lite NVRs particularly the DHI-NVR42A04-P which I'm planning to get mainly because it's the only variant with no fan.

According to https://dahuawiki.com/Template:IVSTemplate, only the 8 and 16-ch version of the above-mentioned model DO NOT have IVS support...so is it safe to assume the 4-ch supports it?

However, on DahuaSecurity.com, it shows all the Lite Series (4/8/16) have the IVS.

So which of the two do you think is telling the truth?

depends on what firmware they have on em, check with the vendor your buying it from.

That can be found on the sticker on the unit itself or on the box, right?

Maybe I'll try Dahua USA if I can't get hold of any B&H Photo rep.

Thanks, Nayr.

Update:

Looks like the Lite Series uses the new H.264+ Decoder and on the DahuaWiki IVS page it says, "PLEASE NOTE: You cannot use IVS rules with H.264+ at this time." Bummer...well, at least they left the door open for a future firmware update that hopefully will include IVS.

Also, I just learned that B&H will have the NVR drop shipped to my address from Dahua USA so there's no point asking them for the firmware version. I'll just go ahead and order it...and while waiting for it to arrive, I'll call Dahua and inquire about the firmware.

@Tic Were you able to get IVS/ see if the firmware does support after you got it from B&H? I am thinking of ordering from them as I'm wanting something soon
