    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica YES! This worked!! Thank you! Is your recommendation to just leave everything alone at this point, or should I convert them all to US cameras so that I can update using latest US firmware?

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica Just figured out why that one camera went back to US... it's serial number is CCWR and all the others are CCCH. This one that doesn't load via TFTP is CCRR. Trying the 5.30 downgrader now.

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica I tried using the hiktools.exe on the 5.2.5 code and change it to English, but when I load it and reboot the camera, it comes back up as Chinese. Is there a different method I should be using?

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica What do you mean by 'only update and upf commands can be used'? I have been provided the original firmware by the reseller, but it is not booting after a TFTP load.

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica I bought them there because they were half the cost of anywhere else I could find in the states...

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica 5 of them were bought at the same time from the same reseller... the 6th one was bought more recently from a different reseller and is labeled 9/2015 5.3.0. I believe it only had 5.1.6 on it when I plugged it in.

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    Re: Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarifica If I knew how to simply export the firmware from the working camera, that would solve all my problems... can't seem to find any definitive info on that.

    Hikvision IPC firmware update... my eyes are bleeding... need some help/clarification

    I did all of the below before spending the last 24 hours parsing through all of these forums and trying different things: I have a DS-7608NI-E2/8P that was running v3.0.1 I think. The NVR's SMTP function didn't really seem to conform to RFCs and was not working properly, so I updated firmware...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    I have this NVR setup with Hikvision cameras working smoothly. Scenario: Someone breaks into where the NVR is located and takes it with them. 1) I assume the recorded videos stored on the internal hard drive are unencrypted and could be had by simply mounting the drive on another system. Is...
