    Legit HikVision sellers (Canada)

    Yes, sorry. I didn't articulate myself well. I want to find a list of vendors that don't sell hacked china region cameras :)

    Legit HikVision sellers (Canada)

    I live on the east coast of Canada. I'm looking at purchasing some cameras, but I'd like to get the North American versions (not the patched ones like I had before, which I've had trouble updating) and for a reasonable price and keep whatever warranty they have on the camera. Can someone point...

    What's a good upgrade for a DS-2CD2732F-IS?

    I'll check. That's some good information. I bought the cameras in 2015. I had 3 and I accidentally "bricked" one when I didn't realize they were flashed. It's been collecting dust. If I were to upgrade the cameras, what's a good recommendation? I looked online and there seems to be such a...

    What's a good upgrade for a DS-2CD2732F-IS?

    I have two DS-2CD2732F-IS cameras. I'm considering upgrading because the cameras I had purchased before were Chinese firmware flashed to English and I can't patch them and the version of the firmware imposes limits on my NAS size. I'd like the same functionality or perhaps motorized function...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Both of my cams stopped emailing for about a week, and last night they just started working again with gmail. Odd.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    My second part just arrived today that should allow me to do a serial connection. Unfortunately I just moved so I need to unpack before I proceed, but I just wanted to let everyone know that has been PMing me and such that I haven't given up yet.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I might just do that then. I've been contacted (PMed) with others in the same situation and it'd be nice to help them out. I already bought a replacement camera so the problematic camera can be for experimentation.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I could believe that. Then based on my wiresharking, I don't see where the camera is looking for TFTP, like when it was in the boot loop.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I don't run Outlook, so no. I hadn't till tonight. I thought of a reset, but never looked for it till you mentioned it. (My manual is written in Chinese.) From what I gather, I hold down the reset button for 10 seconds as the power is plugged in? I tried that tonight and nothing seems to...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I haven't tried with a different PC or serial connect. (never noticed a serial port?...) I only have the one Windows PC to work with. I'm not convinced it's the PC's problem at this point.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    FYI - I followed that post and it doesn't help. It ignores the situation where the camera is looking for 192.168.1.1, and that the TFTP software (according to what was said earlier) must run on 192.0.0.128. I have a friend that might have access to a layer 3 switch that would allow me to do...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    Wireshark is showing that the camera is looking for 192.168.1.1. (Prior, when I was in a boot loop before I got the junky firmware on the camera, it was looking for 198.0.0.128) You say TFTP only works on 192.0.0.128. Does the above mean that I have to use NAT to map one IP to the other...

    My apologies, I might have forgotten to explicitly follow up on that. I had read through the thread, and your firmware is the one that I really want to get on my camera. Like REALLY, REALLY bad...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I can only speak from what happened from my point of view, but I did it because I typically update my firmware regularly (security, fixes, etc.) If the thought had crossed my mind that I would have had a problem, I wouldn't have done it. It was completely my mistake, not knowing what I was...
