iTuneDVR 2 Posted August 22, 2014 To come back to the Language problem some people including me are facing.Can someone help me modify a flash file ? I have firmware for english and chinese. The NVR does not find the translation when I put the english firmware. Because the language selection is blocked in the NVR menu. I want to put the english language file in the chinese firmware file. It is because the NVR searches for the Chinese file it does not find it in English or German firmware. Furthermore I found they put a check to view the supported language files of the NVR. I paid 300 USD for this useless NVR because the seller gave me unusable chinese version. Dahua does not want people to buy the chinese NVR and put the English firmware. The problem would be solved if I could rename the file English.txt to SplChinese.txt in the firmware then the NVR should think he has the correct file. However I do not know how to edit the files in telnet because all corresponding partitions except one are Read-only. I also tried to remount the partition because it is not writable via Telnet however I do not manage to do it. So I guess I need to modify the BIN file and reflash?? 2 Defender666 In fact, it is not as difficult as it seems. I did it many times. I have included on the Chinese Dahua DVR, NVR, IPC as English and of course, though only Russian. I have been rebuilt with custom firmware for these devices. I have many examples http://vk.com/albums221982133 A little effort and you too will succeed What's your NVR and what version of firmware? Can you provide remote access to your NVR? ONE more thing.Does anyone else have the problem that on the IP Cameras the MP4 download from the SD Card does not work. It transcode 10..15...20%..100% then nothing. No file download What's your IPC and what version of firmware? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hdo26 0 Posted August 22, 2014 Which model are you referring to and how did you try to mount the file system as 'rw' ? We need some more information to help you out. iTuneDVR should be able to help you out since he has a lot of experiences doing those stuffs.

iTuneDVR 2 Posted August 22, 2014 Then how about writing a little tutorial on doing this? I guess a lot of peoplelike to know how to do that I also have a great sense of humor and use it and answer. There is nothing better than to spend fun and a huge advantage in the search for the time and research the answers to this question. I'm not some Linux guru, which is only available. I am a simple and ordinary man, same as everyone do his favorite thing that gives me the joy of one continuous research on information technology and not only that. So I can not deny anyone the same joy and happiness from independent studies and research! You will be a storm of emotions and indispensable as a result of the success! For personal use, you do it yourself, and if it is necessary for business purposes, it offers a welcome simply agree to cooperate on mutually beneficial terms! And so I was not accused of being greedy and I do not want to share information, that some time ago, I shared the secrets of Dahua Technology with the hero of this forum and my English friend CBX! Friends always help each other because they are friends! Here is a mysterious Russian soul! Always help the wise advice, if asked for help, and does not impose his views to others and teach them how to live and how to breathe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aubrey 0 Posted August 24, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russian always lend a helping hand to all those who got in trouble and who ask for personal assistance is not looking for no benefit. Of course, this can not be about money. However, I do not have to bail out all because of their carelessness, stupidity and greed. Chinese technique always and only with the Chinese language!!!

dva78 0 Posted September 3, 2014 Hello, I think I have bricked my Dahua NVR3104-P during a firmware upgrade through USB. It wont startup/beep when I apply power. Read up on the firmware upgrade through Ncom and Tftp with a FTDI cable but can't get it to work/connect. I've got 4 unlabeled pins on my motherboard and an USB TTL-232R 3V3 cable. Does anyone know how to connect it? Thanks, Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is a full firmware image (img) that recovery is rapid, if not, then in parts. There is nothing complicated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotlink 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Hi all. Does anyone have any tips for upgrading the firmware on my IPC-HDB4300C ?? I have two of them. Both purchased separately through Amazon and shipped from different companies in August 2014. They both have the same firmware. v2.210.W100.0.R build : 2014-01-15. Both cameras respond the same to the firmware install attempts. I have tried upgrading directly through the camera via System/Upgrade, and by using the Dahua General Config Tool. In fact, I tried version 1.06.1, 1.07.2 and 1.07.3 of the config tool. I even tried the Chinese language config tool. When upgrading directly from the camera via System/Upgrade, it just times out under "Transmitting files". It never gets past that point. I tried it in both Chrome & Firefox. IE does not let me log into the camera. It just sits at the login screen after entering credentials. When attempting to upgrade using the config tool, it sends the firmware file just fine, and then goes to "File Transmission Succeeded. System is upgrading now." - then displays "Upgrade Failed". The firmware I am attempting to install is General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.420.0000.0.R.20140419.bin Any help is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course there are more configtool later, for example version 2.0 but I do not think so in this case. Perhaps you have broken your firmware and naturally it does not pass any update for authorization on IPC, try in your configtool use port 3800. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotlink 0 Posted September 5, 2014 Good news! With the help of HD Security Store, the vendor that sold me the Dahua camera, I was able to get the firmware updated. Here is what was needed: In the config tool, when you select your particular camera and select the "Login" button, you're presented with IP Address, User Name, Password, and Port. By default, the port is populated with 37777. Simply change this to 3800, and Voila! The firmware installs correctly. I don't know why this works. My camera itself has the TCP port set to 37777, but who cares why it works as long as it does. I now have the General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.420.0000.0.R.20140419 firmware running on my cameras. Nice! If you order a Dahua on Amazon, be sure to choose HD Security Store as the seller. Their support makes it well worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
