I have about 15 mounted Hik Cams from China located in NA that I want to upgrade.
I took a few down and did the upgrade using the brick fix method, THANKS!!! it worked
but it wasn't an easy procedure as I had to dismount them brick them then run the fix on them.
I noticed there is a tool here that I can download the English firmware then change the language to (2) Chinese.
I tried it at a friends and i ran into issues which led me to run the brick fix procedure to get it going. I was thinking this would be an easy way to upgrade.
I'm trying to avoid bricking a mounted cam. In theory should this have worked? I'm wondering if it was just bad luck that this didn't' work.
What would be the simplest way to upgrade a Chinese Hik cam modded with EN language on 5.2 which is connected via POE and mounted (not easily accessible)
Is there a method whereby I can alter the firmware then upload it via batch config tool or web browser?
I also noticed after upgrading to the latest my config file would not upload into the cam, which forced me to reconfigure the settings of the cam. I'm wondering if this failed because the pass on the old cam wasn't strong while the new firmware requires a strong pass.
