Firstly the directions are complete, perfectly clear, and simple. I did not leave out any steps. It is your job to follow the simple instructions. Secondly a .vbs is Visual Basic Script. At no point should you have had to direct windows to "open it with Internet explorer" nor would have that...

I am glad you got it fixed before I could answer. This is now the fourth time we have confirmed that certain switches are doing something funky with the ARP request. For anyone reading this if you are having the same issue its likely your switch between the TFTP server.

Thats it, thank you.

Here you go "from a real computer" using @alastairstevenson link.

I only have a option for software. There is no more links for any firmware.

FYI the latest G! firmware is 5.6.820. It can be found at the link below. https://assets.hikvision.com/prd/public/all/files/202301/Firmware__V5.6.820_220519_S3000430633.zip

Can anyone else see the Hikvison UK firmware portal? i t seems all the firmware has been removed.

Here is another thread where this camera model was flashed to Hik firmware . LaView cameras aren't trying TFTP

You use the latest 5.66 firmware. You will need to use the Scott Lamb python script tftp server as the camera expects the tftp server to be found at 192.168.1.128

I am glad we got to a solution together. So no problem I take it using the Scott Lamb python tftp and changing the server IP to 192.168.1.128? I did forget to mention that anytime you do a tftp update it factory resets the device even if you save the config before hand, once the Hik firmware...

Do you have a hik nvr you can plug the camera and computer in? I still feel the switch has something to do with it. I had and continue to have the same issue when doing TFTP updates. Do you have any other cameras of this model to try or is it only a single one?

Sorry, I missed the pcap you attached. When you are attempting to capture are you using the webui for a reboot or a hard power reboot of the camera. I find I always have to do a hard power off for a few seconds then back on. If I use the WebUI it doesnt sent the WHO request for the TFTP server...

The first thing I found out about TFTPing to any Hik camera is this. If you have the cameras plugged into a poe switch and the pc is on a smart switch it filters the initial WHO 192.0.0.128 ARP request. I have only gotten it to work by plugging a computer directly into the same poe switch as the...

If you still need help with this, I can help you out. I have several LV-PBK80804C running the latest Hik G1 firmware.
