    DS-2CD2432F-IW 3MP firmware issue after trying to upgrade to 5.4

    I had hit a block also, I managed to brick and recover but not via a recommend method, not sure if this is a trap or a poor error again from hik as its plays up for genuine recovery of a failed firmware update.

    DS-7608NI-E2/8P - won't power up some cameras

    Check they don't have a static IP address on them, use SADP to remove DCHP if it does. If it has a static IP it will power but wont connect or detect it on the nvr POE port. But it would work fine on a POE switch with a static IP.
