Getting the hang of it

I've seen various URLs here but none of them are current it seems:
I need a link to get the DS-2CD2032-I firmware (WR in serial number, not CH).

I think my current version 5.1.2 build 140116 f/w is not the latest, but that camera is working and an older one with 5.02 130805 firmware cannot be made to enable live view! So I want to at least upgrade to 5.1.2.

I have found a European portal at this URL, but can't find any folder for 2CD2032 cameras: European Portal

Can anyone advise?

PS: Here is what I see on the portal:

The DS-2CD2032-I is an R0 series camera, so the "R0 platform 2xx2" folder is the one you need.
But there is a potential problem when you have very old firmware.
The EU portal has been re-arranged and now only publishes backdoor-fixed firmware, so 5.4.40 is the oldest.
And it's best to update through the major revisions - Hikvision advise that, and not doing that can be troublesome.
The Hikvision USA is slow to change and still has the 5.3.0 version - grab it while you can. Value Series
And check out this warning on that site :
Warning: Firmware upgrades must be done in ascending order and cannot skip versions. Example: Upgrade firmware v5.2.0 to v5.3.0, then v5.4.0. Not v5.2.0 directly to v5.4.0.
 
Thanks ... The problem is I need also 5.1 and 5.2 ... or else what are the odds that an attempt to go from 5.0.2 to 5.3.0 will go smoothly without problems?

Anyone know where 2CD2x32 f/w versions 5.1 and 5.2 can be had?
 
Hey thanks very much Alistair, who knew ... the Russians have old firmware. :)

UNFORTUNATELY I still need to locate the 5.1 firmware for 2CD2xx2 to get the complete set for upgrading.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE V5.1 FW CAN BE FOUND??
