You do not have to wait for the firmware from the distributor, and download the part of firmware directly from your IP camera. Then, in general it will be clear what the difference between the firmware. I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying. I can download the firmware from the new cameras I received, and then use that firmware to update the older versions?

I purchased 8 more of the HFW4300S cameras (NTSC flavor), and they are now being shipped with a newer firmware. Software Version 2.420.0000.0.R, build : 2014-04-19 WEB Version 3.2.4.184667 ONVIF Version 2.4.1 I tried using the link in a previous post to get this firmware to update my previously purchased 4300S cameras. http://www.dh-vision.com/main/firmware/IPC/HX5(4)XXX/General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.420.0000.0.R.20140419/General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.420.0000.0.R.20140419.bin This firmware is not the same as what comes on the newly acquired units. The ONVIF version on mine is newer and there are various differences in the configuration screens. I've contacted my distributor to get this newer firmware to bring all of our 4300S cameras to the same build. If I get this, I'll let you know.

Hello, I've been reading through these forums for the past few weeks as well as others, and can't seem to find any solutions on how to get this firmware (for the NVR3216). I've contacted my reseller, and let's just say that they are less than helpful. The lady eventually sent me a firmware update, which changed my unit to the PAL video standard instead of the NTSC. Needless to say, now the unit isn't working the way it should. I'm using the Dahua HFW4300S cameras which are NTSC. The firmware I was sent to update my unit was General_NVR3xxx_Eng_P_V2.616.0000.0.R.20140110. Needless to say, I didn't realize this firmware was the PAL version until it was too late. Can anyone please advise me on how or where to locate the correct firmware for this unit, the NVR3216? Many thanks for any information someone might offer.

The issue is with the encoding at 3MP resolution. When I attempt to set the encoding at 3MP, the display goes blank on the monitor. If I turn the cameras down to 1920x1080 or lower resolution, I have no issues. I have verified that all the cameras do actually work at the 2048x1536 resolution when I access them directly through the web interface. They will just not work correctly at that resolution through the NVR. I tried searching for that firmware you suggested, and can't locate it via google. I'm currently on version NVR3xxx_Eng_N_V2.610.0000.6.R.20130718 thanks for the response
