    Update camera firmware by NVR

    Excellent points by hereu - especially on the firmware files, regardless of the version, they have the exact same name. So be very careful selecting the file!

    2032I and 5.3 firmware update failure

    I changed the IP of the camera, rebooted it, and now it is not taking my password, the default password, or anything. ugh. At least I'm well experienced in firmware loads now. :)

    Update camera firmware by NVR

    I strongly suggest you not upgrade. Is there a reason you need to, or just because the NVR says an upgrade is available? My experience upgrading firmware, as well as many others, has been terrible.

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    Julia, Diana, I suspect they are pen names simply to make it easier for english speaking people to identify with them. My last order of 5 2032's from CCTV China came in fine last week, and now they no longer sell Hikvision it appears. I'm thinking about getting 1-2 more, but now there's the...

    2032I and 5.3 firmware update failure

    We have a pulse!! The camera rebooted and showed up in SADP as 192.0.0.64 , I was able to get to the GUI this time. I changed the IP to what it was, let it reboot, it came online, then unplugged it, plugged it back in, and it came back as expected. I know I tried this 2-3 times without...

    2032I and 5.3 firmware update failure

    Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that before with no luck, but since, I've read where turning windows firewall off may help, so I'm trying that right now. Any idea why I cannot enter a carriage return to start a new paragraph? I've used vbulletin for years, never seen this problem.

    2032I and 5.3 firmware update failure

    Hi, I've recently installed several Hikvision 2032 cameras at my home, and everything was working great. WAS. I had the great idea to update one of them from 5.2.5 to 5.3 , and yep, bricked. So I've read pages and pages of threads, I did find one similar to what I am seeing. The camera shows...
