I've been poking around one of my cameras, a DS-2CD2135F-IS, and have come across something that seems unusual.
When using hiktools v2.5 against IPC_G0_CN_STD_5.3.3_150624, I get the following error:
$ ./hikpack -t g0 -i 533_g0_digicap.dav
Magic : 484b3230
hdr_crc : 00002414 (OK)

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly, steps look inline with what I tried.
I've sent you a PM with the steps taken to modify mtdblock6 and copies of the original and modified file.
Tried this today with my chinese DS-2CD2132F-IS that already had an English firmware on (as shipped). Previously running 5.2.5
Initially attempted manually updating mtdblock6, device rebooted OK after the update. When proceeding to apply frmware "IPC_R0_EN_STD_5.4.5_170123.zip" the device...
I've been looking briefly at the content of mtdblock5/mtdblock6 dumped from one of my cameras (DS-2CD2132F-IS) with a view to changing the language permanently. But before doing so, understanding as much of the format as possible.

char cHeader[4];
short checksum; // Looks to be...
Sure, it's "Baseline Firmware_IPC_En_V5.3.0 150513 (2XX2)(New)" (IPC_R0_EN_STD_5.3.0_150513.zip) from the Hikvison site (http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/download_89.html). The file has not been modified in any way.
if you can't access that site, let me know and I'll find somewhere to upload it.
The intention of my post was to discover what the community had discovered about the language restriction and have a technical discussion rather then why or why not to upgrade.
Attempted to flash IPC_R0_EN_STD_5.3.0_150513
Exact model is DS-2CD2132F-IS.
Working OK now back on 5.2.5, but keen to get this up to a more recent firmware if possible.
Hi all
I upgraded one of my Hikvision cameras last night from V5.2.5 build 141201 to 5.3.0 and ended up with it stuck in recovery mode. Unbeknownst to me the "UK Stock" seller I bought from was selling grey-imports. I've been able to grab the 5.2.5 firmware and change the language with hiktools...
This is a bit of a long shot, but has anyone tried to reverse-engineer the "info.bin" file that gets created in the root of NFS shares? This seems unlikely to solve the NFS issues, but it's something I've been working on. Here's where I've got to:
typedef struct {
CHAR SerialNumber[48]; //...
My first post so I hope I'm posting in the right section and that it's OK to post this kind of thing.
I bought my first Hikvision camera a week or two ago and with a few days off work decided to try and knock up a web interface to the NFS Storage I use for the camera. Much of what I'be written...
