Three ways to update Dahua Cameras Firmware

You can update your dahua NVR firmware through Camera’s web interface, Dahua’s Config Tool or through Smart PSS software.

First of all locate your camera’s number. That can be found on the camera’s box or through Dahua’s ConfigTool or SmartPSS if you have access to either.

• Then we go to Dahua website where you locate search button, or you can also scroll down to find download center link, but there’s actually no need for it. Type in your camera’s number. Then a list with search results will appear. Pressing it and you will be redirected to product details. Scroll down to find download button, locating Firmware and here you can see a firmware file that you can download by pressing the button.

Once it is downloaded, open the folder and unzip the archive.

Upgrading Via Web Interface

Then, for a purpose of updating camera’s firmware go to camera’s web interface via Browser, common browsers won’t conflict with Dahua’s web interface either. Type in camera’s IP-address, enter, and on the page we input your user’s data – Admin and password. Log in and right away go to the settings tab. Then system → upgrade, and here in the file upgrade field we select a firmware file – press browse and locate that 25 mb. bin-type firmware file, OK, and now the most crucial step – press upgrade and confirm. Now you will see progress bar and after that your camera will reboot and appear with online status, meaning upgrade is completed and you can continue using your camera, but running a new firmware.

Upgrading Via ConfigTool

Option Number 2 allows us to update camera’s firmware via a software named ConfigTool, that is completely free and can be downloaded from a Dahua website. From a previous part we have got our camera’s name and we have also downloaded an archive with firmware file, so we skip it here and go to the firmware update process itself.

First of all – get that ConfigTool tool from a link in the description and then install it like a common program. Once you are there in the program, you will see all your devices in the list, but we need to go to the firmware update tab, which is item number six in the left column. Now we locate our camera and press browse.

Now you will see progress bar and after that your camera will reboot and appear with online status, meaning upgrade is completed and you can continue using your camera, but running a new firmware.

Upgrading Via SmartPSS

Option Number 3 requires you to download a free Dahua SmartPSS software.
