    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Hi @alastairstevenson Yesterday I managed to unbrick my cam using my missus's laptop and it's now running the latest firmware. Clearly the firewall was the issue all along. Basic failure on my part to not consider this even though it was mentioned in your steps. Thanks very much for the help!

    Hmm. You think it might be firewall huh? Could be. It is not really my laptop - it's my work's. Although I have Administrator on the laptop, the firewall is implemented within McAffee Endpoint Security (overriding Windows Firewall) and I do not have the ability to disable it. I will try and...

    Hi @alastairstevenson , I got the bits you suggested, and today finally got around to making the serial cable and having a play, but I have hit some problem. I connected up the camera and confirmed a bootloop: I was able to interrupt the boot using <ctrl>-u, however I don't seem to be able...

    I don't have the serial number. I suppose I'm guessing that it's Chinese really. I upgraded my other 4 cameras, which are all DS-2CD2732F-I, using the same firmware a couple of years back and it worked no problem. I got these new 5 years ago along with my NVR from a UK supplier. The new...

    Many thanks. I really appreciate the advice. Clearly I'd have no hope of recovering this thing on my own! Are you able to support me through this journey? Is there a step-by-step guide you can point me at regarding the serial console? So the serial console will allow me to diagnose/stop the...

    Ok. Many thanks for your quick reply Alastair. Trouble is I don't have a power adaptor. I'll have a proper look to see if there's anything I can rig otherwise I guess I'm looking on ebay. Do you really think this will make a difference? One thing I'm worried about after a bit closer...

    Hi. I have a DS2CD2732F-IS which I got second hand on eBay and it was working when it arrived, but I inadvertently bricked it when trying to upgrade the firware to the latest EU firmware. I already completed the firmware upgrade with 4 other cameras - so I was not concerned there would be any...
