Can a firmware update enable NTSC vs. PAL?

Recommended Posts

So this question may be a little weird, but I just ordered the new Dahua IPC-HFW4421S off of Amazon (at least I think it's new). The seller was US based and they said the firmware was in English and that they could provide firmware updates.

 

Since it didn't specify that it was NTSC or PAL, I assumed NTSC since it's a US seller.

 

Low and behold, when I got the camera and logged in, PAL was my only option. The firmware is nearly a year old and I'm wondering if a firmware update would give me the option for NTSC.

 

I'm pretty sure in my previous HFW4300s I was able to select between the two.

 

I know NTSC and PAL are analog video formats, but I'm not 100% sure how that relates to IP cameras and again, if that could firmware controlled. Can an IP camera even support both formats?

 

Thanks,

Justin
