    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I've been looking at 4k cameras lately and that research brought me to this thread for some reason. I've been very happy with my 5mp Amcrest cameras. I remember when 4k cams were first coming out, folks were saying 5mp units were better for night scenes. Guess that's still true somewhat...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    Sorry, I never did try it. Well I tried a few files like you mention, but they just reboot and the cam stays on the old version. I forget what kind of functionality I was trying to get out of them. I ended up ditching the NVR and building a small PC to run Blue Iris on and I'm doing all...

    Flashing Dahua firmware on OEM cameras

    This is the firmware for my QSee. I Can't actually find a Dahua firmware. https://q-see.s3.amazonaws.com/content/files/firmware/QSee_QCN8099B_V2.460.QS01.0.R.20171121.bin If I add it under the Dahua model, it doesn't work or connect at all. I suspect Qsee tweaked things just enough to...

    QSee QC888 - Disable built in DHCP server on POE Ports

    That's kind of a bummer. I'm letting them get addresses from my router now with a standalone poe switch and seems to work okay. I don't like the idea of putting them behind the NVR and loosing visibility of them on the network (able to log into them directly). Edit, I guess this is a pretty...

    QSee QC888 - Disable built in DHCP server on POE Ports

    I picked up a QSee kit from Costco during the thanksgiving sale. Is it possible to disable the built in DHCP server that serves the built in POE ports? I have the NVR and cameras in their own network and handling DHCP from my router. I currently have all the cameras and management...
