th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Guys- I currently have a Dahua NVR3216. It appears nearly all the Dahua NVR's have the same dual core processor and I assume the memory is the same as well. I assume a lot of the NVR's have the same hardware and they are simply selling other NVR's at higher cost with the firmware updated to allow more fps, mbs and support for 3mb and 5mb cameras. Is there a way I can update my Dahua NVR-3216 so it supports 3mb cameras? I have not had time to try to poke around with the code but thought I'd ask. My assumption is the software is the only thing changing on most of these NVR's because they all seem to have dual-core processors. I'd prefer to not have to purchase a new NVR with the same hardware just to get the interface to allow the support. Any input appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 Let me ask this question. Has anyone applied firmware for an NVR32XX using a different dahua's NVR firmware file. Ex. Apply firmware from NVR5xxx to NVR32XX. Considering hardware specs match can I apply firmware from NVR5XXX to get the functionality in the software? I wouldn't have a problem paying for a new NVR if it had more processing power or memory but when all the hardware specs match, it seems foolish to pay for a new NVR when theh software just needs tweaked.

A firmware change wont help you...even if the specs are the same, its not "foolish" to pay for the added functionality...heck most of the vms software charge a per camera fee, even though its the same software.

th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 It appears the dual-core processors and memory are the same so the current NVR3416 has the ability to run the 3 mp and 5 mp cameras but simply does not provide the interface for using. Will you confirm we are paying for software updates when we upgrade the Dahua NVR? Is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iTuneDVR 2 Posted March 9, 2015 Use telnet and learn the characteristics of devices! cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/mtd cat /proc/version dmesg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 I have used telnet into the NVR and that's how I know the specs. I'm curious how to modify the code to tweak the MBs, frame rates and 3 mp etc. I see some Challenge.rar file and have not had time to extract it and look thru the code.

So, if all the same but what the ploblem? Share this specs info! Your don't need to extract Challange.rar, but you must have enough time to solve your problem! Just look to mtd map and mix configure files if all the same as you told us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 I pulled up some specs from a prior post for the NVR and cameras I'm running. If you need more information let me know. I'm curious how to update the software to allow support for 3 mb and 5 mb cameras and increasing fps and bit rates.

iTuneDVR 2 Posted March 9, 2015 Correct your information!!!! Why IPC? cat /proc/cpuinfo for your nvr3XXX & nvr5XXX cat /proc//mtd ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 I do not have an NVR5XXX. I assume the dual core processors are the same in the NVR5XXX and NVR32XX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

th111447 0 Posted March 9, 2015 So it looks my assumption is in-correct. I guess I'll have to buy another NVR if I want 3 or 5 MP cameras. Guess I will stick with the old 720p's. Thanks for pointing out the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
