I once again have a working camera. Thank you to all those that have offered help and advice and to those that have created the tools to make this possible. I have a DS-2CD2632F-IS camera that I purchased on ebay. It came with firmware 5.25. I was having issues with it not always saving when...

This is soooo frustrating. I dont have the bits currently to make the console cable so I cant see the reason why the firmwares are failing. The only firmware I have been able to get the camera to accept is the 5.3 chinese firmware after modifying the firmware to set the language to english...

The camera has taken the firmware sort of. SADP now shows it as 5.3 and I can hit a web page and get Access Error: 404 -- Not Foundfirmware language mismatch: /home/webLib Thats the first time I have seen the website on the camera since last night so definite progress I will try the...

used the tool described in this post to change the language version from the 5.30 chinese firmware to english and it completed. So finally seem to be making progress

Thanks bearclaw. I cant get my camera to accept any new firmwarecurrently. It never comes back with the system update completed

I think it may be worth my trying to make a cable for console access like in https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/6356-Manual-Create-console-serial-access-to-Hikvision-DS-2CD2032F-I?p=56118#post56118

have tried a switch and direct cable to see if it made any difference

In the TFTP server for me it never says system update completed. The last entry is completed file transmit. I had been using poe but just found a suitable psu but the results are still the same

SADP shows the device with a different serial since the first firmware attempt it used to be CCCH and its curretnly showing with a CCRR serial

Thank you, I appreciate your time in looking Most is in Chinese so not sure what the headings are model is DS-2CD2632F-IS 2.7-12 Sequence 536842582 Security Code: xxxxxx Production Date: 08/2015 V5.3.0_150513 Standards Q/BFW 004-2011

That good news, I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas as to what to possibly try next please

The camera is happy to accept all the different versions of firmware that I throw at it but I still cant connect to it. Dont seem to be having much luck On the label on the camera it suggests that it should be running 5.3 Chinese firmware build 150513 If I load that firmware from the site it...

Thanks, much appreciated. I will try that. I just found out the following 2. A Chinese version that has been adapted (hacked) one-time to have English menus. This will have "CCCH" in the serial number. It will work now in English but if you try to update the firmware, you will need to do so...

Local IP currently is 192.168.1.100 so I can talk to the camera. I can ping the camera so I dont think its network connectivity. If I telnet on port 8000 I get a response. IVMS can see the camera, if I put in an invalid username and password it tells me. If I put in the correct username...

That's great, appreciate your help so far
