Firmware issue with IPC-HDW5xR-ZE ??

[Gadget -X]

Mornin' Members: I was wondering if someone could shed light on what is up with my Dahua cameras.

I have 2.622.0000000.23.R, Build Date: 2018-03-30 on nine IPC-HDW5x31R-ZE cameras. I was wondering why some report Type "IPC" and some report "IPC-HDW5231R-ZE".(1st Photo) The ones which report "IPC" show the correct version in configtool. I checked and double checked they are all set exactly the same. (2nd photo).

I have not experienced any major issues with the setup except the date which flakes out every once in a while and the recording on SD needing to be reset every once in a while. I am hesitant to upgrade to the newest firmware after reading all the issues on 3 pages on the latest firmware thread.

Appreciate any help.

I'd sure like to know the answer to this question also.

What version of the ConfigTool are you running?

I apologize. I am running ConfigTool 4.01.0 on my iMac Pro. Is there a later version?

Are they all NTSC ?

Sometimes version nomenclature escapes me, so I'm uncertain if the attached version is a tad newer, or older. I am running Dahua ConfigTool 4.09 which is attached to this post and has been scanned with Eset NOD32 Antivirus for your safety...

Looks like a windows exe. As I said on iMac MacOS Mojave.

Yes sir all set to NTSC.

Thank you

Yes sir all set to NTSC.

Thank you

Reason I asked was on some NVR's I have PAL cameras might show up to the extent of what you are seeing. I will usually flash em to NTSC firmware. I posted in another thread about backing up the config file from a good working cam and uploading it to a flakey cam and see what happens as long as they are the same Fw.

Thanks, Q. I was able to spin up my Windows VM on my Mac and see that ConfigTool on Windows reported everything correctly whereas ConfigTool on macOS did not.

Windows (ConfigTool 4.09.0):




macOS (ConfigTool 4.01.0):

Side note, SmartPSS 2.00.0 on my Mac reports everything correctly (like the Windows version of ConfigTool).

does smartpss tell you the version of firmware?

If you click on a device, it will show you that device's firmware, but I don't see a way to get a list of all device's firmware versions on one screen.
