Annke Firmware to Hikvision Firmware: HOW TO

[EliotFR]

Hi,

I'd like to try to update my Annke AC800 :

This cameras looks like the DS-2CD2386G2.

I will try V5.7.11_220913 firmware. Is it good ?

Firmware list :

Any recommendation ? I will use the web interface to update my camera.

This isn't a too big step 5.7.10 to 5.7.15 ?

Why flash the camera? You won't get any pros, but there will definitely be cons. I advise you not to do this

 

[@GUTEK@]

In the new Hikvision firmware, for example, it is possible to set the OSD font color. So this is a plus, because this OSD is terrible.

I don't know why but smart Events don't work on this camera ( I91DB ).
I have no detection with my Hikvision NVR.
I tried to modify the settings without any success.
It works well on my other Hikvision cameras ( Line crossing detection and intrusion detection ).

you should have bought a Hikvision camera and not an Anke, the price difference is not significant, but you would not have problems with the firmware

 

[EliotFR]

Yes, that's what I tell myself too.

Is it worth taking such a risk to get a brick for OSD?

What is the difference between the Chinese clone and the Annke brand?

1) Restore to Factory Settings?

2) how many megapixel does the camera have on firmware V5.7.11_230308
