Hello,
First, I would like to apologize for my bad English ( I'm French !!!).
So, 3 months ago, I bought :
- 1 Dahua NVR 3208V
- 3 Dahua bullet cameras HFW2100
- 2 Dahua dome cameras HDB3200CP
The NVR came with firmware 2610.VT00.0 (2012/10/25)
The 2 HDB 3200CP with 2.03.0000.0.R (2012/07/24)
2 HFW2100 with 2.100.0001.0.R (2012/10/31)
1 HFW2100 with 2.210.0000.0.R (2013/03/13)
When connecting to the HFW2100 with 2.210 firmware, the motion detection area could be modified by using 4 adjustable frames.
For the other cameras + the NVR, the detection area was adjusted by enabling/disabling little rectangles on a grid (not very convenient...).
So I decided to upgrade everything, using informations found on cctvforum.
1/ The nvr :
I used the link given by teknologs (p17) :
ftp://194.197.92.197/drivers/dahua/NVR-sw/General_NVR3xxx_Eng_P_V2.610.0000.5.R.20130525.zip
+ the tool 1.16RECUpgrade.exe that can be downloaded directly from Dahua :
http://www.dahuasecurity.fr/download/20120109120505172.rar
Step by step :
> unzip the driver file,
> start 1.16RECUpgrade.exe,
> enter the IP adress + TCP port of the NVR,
> click on "login" ; enter the username + password
> click on "openfiles"
> browse and select the file : General_NVR3xxx_Eng_P_V2.610.0000.5.R.20130525.bin
(no need to change the name in "update.bin" ; I think this is only applicable if you use an USB flash drive)
> click on "bios"
> wait the NVR to restart
2/ The cams,
I used the link given by pelo666 (General_IPC-HX3(2)XXX_Eng_P_V2.210.0001.0.R.20130517 ; it's a PAL version ; not NTSC).
http://www.sendspace.com/file/hyxiem
The extracted file contains a README.txt that says :
"Supported Devices: HDB(W)3202,HFW3101C,HF3101,HFW3X00C,F728WP,HF3300,HDB(W)3300,HFW3300,HF3301,HF3500,HF3500A,HF3200,HDB3200C,HF3110,HDB(W)3110,HDB(W)3101,HFW3110,HF3100,HF3211-F,HDW2100,HD2100,HFW2100,HF2100,HFW3100,HDB3100C,HFW3(2)105(2100S),HDW3100S,HDW2105S,HDW3105S,HFW3200S,HFW3202C"
Step by step :
> start "ConfigTool.exe" (provided on a CD with the cam),
> click on "login"
> enter the IP adress, username, password, port of the cam
> click on "login"
> click on "system upgrade"
> click on "open"
> browse and select the file General_IPC-HX3(2)XXX_Eng_P_V2.210.0001.0.R.20130517.bin
> click on "upgrade"
> wait, wait, wait...

But now I have a question : the new detection settings includes the following parameters : sensitivity and threshold.
Does anyone knows exactly how it works ?
