I've got video but not PTZ in BI.

I got my camera. So far, so good. I need to figure to how to call a PTZ preset from a shell script. I looked up how to do it on a Hikviosion, but the HTTp files don't seem to be there. Anyone else tried? Thanks for the heads-up @whoislooking! curl...

I have one of these coming to replace an older Loftek PTZ (640x480). I currently use curl from a shell script to PTZ to a preset on the Loftek like this: curl 'http://address/decoder_control.cgi?command=31&user=uname&pwd=pword' Hopefully I can find how to do this with the new one. Secondly...

Maybe a bad question. http://ipcctvsoft.blogspot.com/2013/06/iperf-for-hikvision-sanyo-and-possibly.html

Is that possible?

Excellent I'm good then. Waiting patiently on a method to get my 5.2.5s to 5.1.6 then.

I modified mine by following your posted images. Is that sufficient too @whoislooking, or did I need to also change the date/MAC? Thanks.

Ernie got me on the right track here: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/1881-Bricked-DS-2CD2332-I-anyone-can-help I still used a VM on a Mac and never brought the cam in, it's installed about 750' from my computer. All fine now on 5.1.6.

The solution Ernie posted made me try and realize my camera was not bricked.

I have a backup of all mtd files. mtdblock 5 and 6 were already region 1 so I did not change them.

I've TFTPed 5.1.6 onto four different 2032s. Two were Unbranded Hikvision from Nelly's, two WERE Chinese from Wrightwood but I applied the mtd hack thanks to @whoislooking. Since those went well, maybe I became too confident thinking I could downgrade this DS-2CD2332-i5 USA 5.2.0 to 5.1.6. After...

Hikvision's TFTP process was new to me, I'm a Mac guy, AND the two cameras I did are 900 feet away. It was easier than expected. I used VirtualBox with XP, and Hikvision's SADP, Batch Configurator, and TFTP Auto Update utilities. I left everything plugged in the way it was, changed my XP IP...

I was close. I just had to cycle the power.

How did you do it? Your post gave me the idea to try TFTP again with the previous firmware, but I am still stuck with the minimum system.
