    New DS-2CD2335 camera with 5.3.3 firmware recovery?

    So the good news is that the supplier was going to get the key off hikvison for me after chinese new year. The better news is that it was indeed caps lock that was keeping me out (dunce hat in) On the upside I've learnt a lot about firmware on these things! Thanks for the assistance all.

    New DS-2CD2335 camera with 5.3.3 firmware recovery?

    Funny you should mention that when I woke up this morning and saw the e-mail from the seller I actually had that thought in my head "have I checked caps lock?". Because the activation screen asks you to enter your password twice and I'm 99% positive I wouldn't have messed up the entry twice...

    It must be a combination of both firmware and hardware that decides which password reset method the SADP and iVMS tool uses maybe OH well, I suppose I'll sit tight and see if the seller gets back to me on alieexpress. There's no other ways to factory reset these things are there?

    New DS-2CD2335 camera with 5.3.3 firmware recovery?

    So in the SADP tool I can see all 5 cameras. When I select my old 2332-I cameras the panel on the right changes to an input for "security code" but the 2335 camera instead has an export/import button and no place to input a security code. :(

    New DS-2CD2335 camera with 5.3.3 firmware recovery?

    Hi all I've been the happy owner of a few 2CD2332 cameras for over a year and recently decided to purchase an additional camera. I noticed that the Aliexpress stores were selling the 2CD2335 camera to replace the 2332 so went ahead and bought that. On setting it up over the weekend I entered...
