With too-new firmware on V1 hardware you've become a test pilot. Perhaps as bigred says it's not bricked in the sense of totally dead, but rather some things don't work right and maybe others do. I'm running V4.001.0000000.3, Build Date: 2020-05-19 on the V1 hardware. Perhaps that version is online somewhere and you could try going downward to it. You can't roll back indefinitely. The release notes for my version say:
This new baseline version is based on the version of Security Baseline 2.1, and it can be rolled back to the
versions after Security Baseline 1.4, but cannot be rolled back to a version prior to Security Baseline 1.4.
With even newer versions the restriction might be worse.

But isn't it odd that in the NVR GUI is still says the System Version is: 3.210.0002.2 and the Build Date is: 07-21-16?
So why is it acting weird if its still showing the same information?

Good advice and I promise this will be my last post here. Maybe you're still running a corrupted V3 in the NVR. If you have the firmware file for it you could try reloading that one. I tried to upload my early V4 firmware to the Resources section, but as with photos, it's broken.
I just wanted to update this thread and say how impressed I've been with the newer firmware's that include the xinghan large scale ai models. I was having so many issues with ivs giving false alerts which were being triggered by spiders, birds and foxes even after fine tuning my ivs zones and min size. I was also having issues where is would sometimes not detect a human in the ivs area or be extremely slow to detect a human unless the person was within a couple of meters distance from the camera.
I've now been running the official dahua firmware version 3.140.0000000.16.R Build Date:2025-06-20 on my 4 cameras for around 2 months and have not had a single ivs false alert, even from spiders. The human detection is faster and works much better from longer distances. Here is an example:
This now means I can reliably use the cameras ivs intrusion detection with my airshield house alarm. Having the main house alarm go off at 2am due to a spider is no fun.
In case anyone was not already aware, you can use your cameras to trigger the dahua airshield house alarm without needing a NVR. Also when I set my airshield house alarm it can also automatically activate the tioc features on the camera, warning audio, deterrent lights etc.
Thanks to steve1225 for making me aware of the large scale ai models, It's like having new cameras.

Cool.
What camera models are you running this 3.140.0000000.16.R Build Date:2025-06-20 on?
I will say I have very few if any problems with missing targets or false alerts with my 5442's my 3449 Pro or my 4KX/Ts and other modern cameras.
I do get some false alerts from the new Triple Lens overlooking the canal, but I dont have those set to wake me up.

34PRO (tioc-pro 3449)..
I don't have triple lens cam - but it's listed in Dahua materials as camera with Xinghan AI.
So it should have (on latest firmware) option to enable Large Scale AI Models in IVS -> Global config, you can try it....

Looks like I’m running older FW on the Triple. Downloading the latest Aug ‘25 from Dahua site now.
We’ll give it a try. Thx
