Interesting.. Thanks to you, I found a new firmware for my Dahua 2100.. Actual : Device Type IPC-HFW2100 (PAL) Software Version 2.100.0001.0.R, build : 2012-10-31 WEB Version 3.0.0.0 There : General_IPC-HX2XXX_Eng_P_BootSpi_V2.100.0001.0.R.20121031.bin The name doesn't specify if it's a PAL version, but the website is a Spanish one, so a European. It should be a PAL one, isn't it ? Anyway, I'm a little bit afraid of upgrading it... I don't want a brick...

Goldserve, are you happy with this "configuration". I mean, I'm also catching event through camera's detection, but according to me, it's not great. A lot of false one. Sometimes it doesn't detect me ?! What are your settings ? Video and detection's one ? I know that it won't never be perfect, but I'd like to find the best settings to avoid a few false alarms.. Thank you

Last, can somebody tell me how many amps need this 2100 ? It's only written : 12V. But I think I also need to know about amps? 0,6 A ? 0,8 ? Thank U

So Strange... If a company was illegally selling some clones products usurping a brand name, they would behave in the same way... It's also so strange that a product is sold with the brand specified everywhere on the website and nowhere on the product when it arrives... I'm not sure where from you are. America ? Here in Europe, to import product, you need to have a "CE" sticker on it, which confirm that product is in accordance with the local technical requirements... This one doesn't have... Well... Regarding the price I won't wonder about it too much...

Thank you for the answer. The IPC-HFW3300CP for example seems to be branded as Dahua ( http://www.dahua-europe.com/IPC-HFW3300CP ). There is at least a sticker on it. That's why I was suprised. And I didn't realize that none of the HFW2100 was. I read a lot about CCTV before choosing this "manufacturer" and I didn't realize this point. I'll search for firmware to try to update it if it exists somewhere ?! Edit : Found something interesting : http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=33328 For my next camera I'll ask here which "better" manufacturer choose to have a sufficient support for a correct price...

Hi, After having troubles with customs, I decided to buy CCTV/IPCAM directly in my country. Thanks to my "independent/local resseler" status I found an important supplier for professional seller who import more than twenty well-known brands of CCTV products. I bought Dahua IPC-HFW2100P36 on their website, whey the provide the official datasheet. I received the camera yesterday, and I'm a bit surprised that there is nowhere a reference to Dahua... Neither on the box : only a big "Color Camera", a few logos, a sticker with "IP Camera", the model, and some caracteristics, nor on the camera. IS it a clone ? So Dahua won't support it... I have troubles with internet explorer. -Yes I installed it correctly, I'm sure of it- Thank you for reading me, ans sorry for my approximative english. In fact it's the same that this one : http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=882 Same web interface... "Web Service V3.0"...
