Am I missing something? I See stuff in the NVR tabs, but the camera tab of the spreadsheet is empty.

Ahh, very good point on the MAC address. Even after reading the mtd hack thread, I don't know that I would have realized that I would need to mod the MAC address on copied mtdblock files (keeping the checksum the same). Lucked out!

Annnd with the Full English mtd hack, I am back to english menus as well. Thank you alastairstevenson

OK, PROGRESS! I checked out the other camera that I got at the same time and from the same reseller and it had a CCCH serial number. So, I grabbed the Chinese 5.2.5 firmware from a post by fenderman, and it flashed fine. After reboot, everything is in Chinese, but I think I can dig through the...

OK, tomorrow I will try the 1-line as well as grabbing the mtdblock6 from my other camera and put it on the bricked one...and search some more for the "junk in compressed archive" error. Thanks again for your replies. Sounds like you have dealt with this same issue before!

Installed SADP, and in the serial number it has CCRR embedded in it, not CCCH. SADP says it says DS-2CD-Min-System, but doesn't allow changing of IP parameters. This is with the computer on the original network: 192.168.1.X Below is the kmsg log (Didn't see an upload file option here.) Should...

I'll install SADP and verify that it truly is in MinSystem mode. So far, I've gone by symptoms. Wife was using her PC at the time so I haven't checked with SADP yet, my stuff is OSX. I will check the kernel log and report back. I am telnetting to the same IP address as I had set originally for...

I attempted a firmware update to see if it would resolve an issue with not being able to save settings on a couple of the settings pages. I didn't realize how careful you had to be in choosing firmware. I installed the US 5.4 firmware on top of 5.2.5 and it has apparently left me in MinSystem...
