    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    It's funny you say that about check_232 because in the camera hacked to English, the initrun.sh has it in a different order than the original firmware. So I did what you said, used binwalk -e hroot.img and it extracted the initrd file (first 64 bytes is the header) which I mounted using "mount...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    That works? The problem is where do you get the 5.2.5 English firmware from?

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    I checked two cameras, one unhacked but Chinese, one hacked to English, both same model, same batch of cameras. The kernel MTD9/10 files were identical, the MTD11/12 are different, so for now, I feel the keep to making the day of week English is in the MTD11/12 files referred to in the MTD...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    I've taken this program, run through all the options and works as advertised, so kudos wzhick for publishing this and good to see fellow hackers contribute what they know. Changing the firmware flag to English and loading English firmware will not make your camera English. What I did is...

    Yes, mount does not work in this root mode, just start the FTP deamon by entering ftpd & and then use an FTP tool to move files back and forth.

    Camera bricked after region changer hack

    Seems like a lot of confusion. You telnet into the camera at it's IP address, be it 192.0.0.64 or what you changed it to. Once you log in and at the command prompt for the camera, you can do a mount command to your PC where you created a Windows share, so say it's c:\mtdutils, you write clicked...

    Inspire 1 INCREDIBLE!!

    I got them over the weekend, so about 2 weeks. I ordered the new CX10A, but have not tried it out yet. These should be easier to fly as they fly towards you or away from you vs. flying towards the front. Not having to care which is the front should make it easier to fly. Ideally I want it small...

    DS-2CD2132 w/2.8 mm -> Poor nightime images

    Clean the dome inside and out real good, no fingerprints. Hikvision domes in general as prone to IR bleed if the dome is dirty.

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    I've done that in an emergency when I accidently overwrote the MTD file and didn't realize it until I erased flash. So I took the MTD files from another camera. What happens is the network would not allow two cameras with the same MAC address, so I can only boot up one at a time, but it did work.

    un brick cameras patched via camera region patch in this forum 5.2.8 to 5.2.5

    I didn't even realize that MTD5/6 region code on this one camera has been updated that was sent to me to fix. I changed it back to 02 like you said, re-applied TFTP and the camera is back to Chinese, ready for further hacking, LOL. The collaborative hacking is working. I had reservations about...

    Looking for Hikvision 5.2.5 or 5.2.8 firmware

    What an embarrassment this is to iTuneDVR, twisting words to slow and distract the community from figuring out the firmware and region code issues for his self interest.

    Looking for Hikvision 5.2.5 or 5.2.8 firmware

    Good catch. So that's the reason he's so upset. Lying to people here, telling them that he has no financial interest and yet it's all about the money. Try and discredit me for offering information for free when he's in the business of selling a competing solution.

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    To me, Dahua has much friendlier resale model in the U.S. than Hikvision that does not really want their cameras resold in the U.S., only to installers. I've talked to Hikvision about closing the doors to the hacks being done a year ago, but they didn't seem interested. One can get euro...

    apartment door camera?

    I have one at home, still in the box but don't remember the brand. Basically it sticks on the door and views out your peep hole to record anyone that comes to the door on an SD card and is 720P. Runs on batteries and supposed to last about a year on batteries. If there's interest, i can test it...

    Yes, do not cat it, it may mess up your telnet session. These are programs that are part of the open source MTDUtils.

    Camera bricked after region changer hack

    With this message, it means you didn't read what I posted. The syntax would be ./nandwrite -o /dev/mtd6 mtd6_temp.bak. Don't use the handwrite that's on the camera. # nandwrite /test/mtd6_temp.bak /dev/mtd6 nandwrite: can't open '/test/mtd6_temp.bak': No such file or directory

    Camera bricked after region changer hack

    Do a chmod 777 flash_eraseall and the same for nandwrite. Execute it by going to that directory and entering ./flash_eraseall /dev/mtd6 and then ./nandwrite command. Check my first post for syntax but I believe you have it backwards on the nandwrite command.

    Not that I know if, just FTP flash_eraseall, erase the flash, delete the command, then copy nandwrite over, do that, erase the files and reboot.

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    I don't have a 5.2.8 camera to experiment on, but yes, this is huge problem. They forced 5.2.0 somehow on a 5.2.8 camera and just loading new firmware on there messes it up, I know, I have one here that's messed up from trying to TFTP 5.2.5 back on there. Have not figured it out yet.

    Camera bricked after region changer hack

    Ahh, so you want a second crack at changing MTD6, that makes sense. Here's the 411, I have not figured out how to mount cifs, so may not be an option, but you are in luck, this special "root" version has an ftp server daemon in busybox. Just enter - ftpd &. Then log in with FTP from your PC with...

    Images and Video from HIK Vision DS-2CD2312-I or DS-2CD2332-I

    The IK10 is more impact resistance, layman's term, can it take a baseball bat to the camera and survive. With glass in front of the lens, it will likely shatter like a bullet camera. The polycarbonate dome lens is more rugged, hence they typically meet this. For me, if you are worried about...

    Images and Video from HIK Vision DS-2CD2312-I or DS-2CD2332-I

    That is cool. My U.S distributor only has the 4300S and that is not vandal proof. I can't contact anyone in China for a week, but I'll see if they can get these in. Anything else special about this model besides the IK10 rating and the different IR configuration?

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    It's his hack as published in cctvforum about a year ago. I just showed how to do it in greater detail in hopes someone can figure out how to do it with 5.2.5. I'm working on it, but may take time. But under no circumstance do this with a camera that says 5.2.5 or 5.2.8 on the box regardless of...

    Camera bricked after region changer hack

    Was this a 5.2.5 camera with 5.2.0 firmware on it? Try to telnet into the camera (Putty on WIndows is free and works well). See if you can log in as admin and 12345 (or whatever your password was), if not, try root and 12345. Issue a df command and let me know what it returns. In putty, just...
