    I definitely appreciate your time looking into it. Didn't want to throw it away wondering if it could have easily been saved. Thanks again.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    At this point, it's only curiosity that drives me plus the unescapable thought that I may be very close to a solution. I haven't been asked to de-solder any surface mounted devices or perform a logic probe so, for the time being, I'm keeping up. I'm also very grateful for your time and...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    No, V5.4.5 build 170124 came with the camera but fails when I try to apply. I believe V5.6.3 build190923 was the last successful one ( just tried again to confirm it works ).

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    Thanks for checking the files. I originally ordered 4 identical cameras but opened the boxes about a year and a half later. All were detected by SADPTool but only 1 had no video (tested in SADPTool, BlueIris, ContaCam and ISpy). So, using SADPTool, I re-updated the firmware with the same...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    Thanks guys for responding. Here are the results of "printenv" and "help". Not sure why "printenv" never works the first time. Tried updating the "bootargs" variable but get "cmd 'export' is not supported" so I suppose that was disabled. Will try installing the modded version of G1 minisys...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    Ok, I finally received the 10 pack of "4-pin 1.5mm ZH JST type" connectors from China. After hooking everything up and trying many digicap.dav files, I get either one of the two results shown below. U-Boot 3.1.6-264231 (Mar 22 2017-13:13:56) boards:266326 Boot From: NAND 2048 RC BCH 6bit...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    By the way, for anyone else having a similar issue, the pinout of the camera's TTL port is as follows. Pin 1 - GROUND PIN 2 - TRANSMIT PIN 3 - RECEIVE PIN 4 - UNUSED when paired with the PL2303TA serial TTL to USB adapter

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I could just use the 4 female connectors from the USB adapter directly but comparing with a similar set of connectors, guess not.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS won't boot up after firmware update

    According to the vendor ( securityharbor on eBay ) , the firmware I need is located at https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2185FWD-I-S-/ I've tried many more firmware files for that camera and the result is always the same. The 3 red...

    The firmware is download but never see anything past "Completed file[C:\TFTP-Update\digicap.dav] transmit" even after waiting 24 hours. And yes, the problem is not fixed.
