Dahua AutoTracking Demos
Great response, thanks! Yeah I'm concerned that my budget would be better spent in other ways since it is kind of low for autotracking. I've seen a demo somewhere that shows what I believe is this "spotter" method you mentioned, can you please briefly describe how it works? If it works the way... -

@Otown I agree with @d.lux , you seem to have an issue on your machine for the TFTP server being able to access or transfer the .img file(s). See the screenshot below, on No 5221 (left column) I see the contents of your "ID_4AXXX.txt" file being sent to the NVR successfully (you can see the... -

This may be a non-issue but FYI this must be a plain text non-encoded file. You cannot create it in a program (like Word) that encodes characters. I just noticed because I have all defaults on my machine and my font characters are different (I'm using Consolas regular font, screenshot below)... -

This all looks correct, and your "root" folder looks exactly like mine. Yes I think it's just a matter of troubleshooting a minor issue. At this point I think you'll really need to monitor wireshark to see that it's actually able to send the 4 .img files listed in the "ID_<SN>.txt" file. The... -

Well it looks like you've manged to get past step 1 :) Some suggestions: 1) A subtle note I mentioned on my original post "Note: The first time I noticed that the TFTP console complained about a missing "failed.txt" file, I created that in the "root" directory (an empty file), probably not... -
Dahua AutoTracking Demos
I've been interested in a PTZ with auto tracking and this forum seems to be the best place for discussions, I'm wondering if it's worth getting a PTZ w/ auto tracking for my needs or if I'd be better off with a fixed mount with optical zoom. Goals: - Capture license plates from at least 80 feet... -

I see, if that's the case then it seems as though @Otown issues are exclusively related to the PC/NIC settings and/or the the lack of admin rights. I did, however, attempt to run the steps on a camera at one point when it was still within the 10.1.1.X subnet (assigned by the NVR) and it failed... -

For the devices themselves (the NVR or the cameras) the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 (A quick read up on how IP spaces and subnets work can really help demystify networking if you're not familiar), the the IP address must be of the format 192.168.1.X, where X is between 2-253 (because 1... -

1) This is within the NVR network settings (Under TCP/IP), you should be able to set the NVR's IP to one of two modes... Static (by which it will let you manually set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway), or DHCP (by which it will be automatically assigned by the router, although... -

I had some time and updated to Dahua firmware on my cameras and NVR successfully. I updated my original post with the detailed steps I took. Big thanks to @d.lux and @Levin83 ! I've been hoping for a method to flash to OEM since I bought it. For those curious it took roughly 3 hours (NVR + 8... -

Thank you for the initial overview, and that's a great suggestion to maintain a separate "Dahua_TFTPBackup" for the cameras and NVR. If you have more time to review the details of each step to confirm their accuracy that would be greatly appreciated. @d.lux If you could confirm my steps as well... -

Edit: I've successfully flashed my cameras and NVR, I'll update the following steps with what I actually did and what I observed. Notes on the differences between the two types of firmware files to apply: One is a packaged type that contains the individual lib/img files, this format is needed... -

+1 I'd really like to know as well! Very dissatisfied with the stock buggy firmware from 2017 and absolutely zero support from "LeChange". Never buying from an unproven brand again, was hoping to be able to upgrade this to Dahua FW. Tempted to just run it through a dedicated PC running BI, or... -

Still waiting on mine, it's been 6 weeks now :-/ I've asked their customer service twice and they have no idea, they only claim that they're still waiting on it from the manufacturer. They said they would sent a request for an ETA but I never heard back. I'm getting restless because winter is...
