What is the correct way to upgrade firmware on Dahua cameras?

[Arjun]

I noticed there are two .bin files. Do you upload both .bin files, one at a time (Rebooting the camera in between successful uploads)?

Yep, some of the newer cams have 3 files that need to be updated one at a time.

Personally I haven't seen a difference in the order they are done.

I just noticed that, and I first do firmware.bin, followed by whatever that second .bin is.
I am only seeing 2 files, not 3...unless you are also considering the release notes pdf

Yeah, some are one file, others are two, and some are three LOL.

Shows you how much they are trying to limp along with old firmware and boilerplate around it for new features.
