    HikVision – Difference Between DS-2CD2335-I and DS-2CD2332-I

    Is the mount for the DS-2CD2335-I made of plastic instead of the aluminum used by the DS-2CD2332-I? If yes, then it is the same as my 4MP DS-2CD3335-I camera. The 4MP camera is a China only product and its FW v5.3.3 also does not allow a 50Hz to 60Hz switch since China is a 50Hz country. I'm...

    Flush mounting of new 4MP DS-2CD3345-I vs older 3MP DS-2CD2332-I turret cams

    In case anyone want to flush mount the newer 4MP DS-2CD3345-I turret cameras on a flat wall with the Ethernet cable coming out of the base along the wall (i.e. no wall wiring through hole behind the camera). In my case I have one camera mounted on brick with the Ethernet cable running along the...

    DS-7832n-E2 Chinese to English

    I upgraded my NVR FW from 3.0.10 to 3.3.2 via the web interface (Firefox) and the NVR rebooted and remained in English. All my settings were preserved, even my password. I then upgraded to 3.3.4 with the same result. The DS-2CD3345-I 4MP camera was correctly recognized under both of the...

    Adding a single camera dedicated monitor for the front door entrance, possible?

    Buy a cheapo tablet and run a browser that supports a NPAPI plugin (not Chrome) and use WiFi. You can use an Ethernet RJ45 if you want via a USB to Ethernet dongle. The tablet I use runs Win10 and I have no issue.

    DS-7832n-E2 Chinese to English

    As you know, I'm having a issue with the HV 4MP cameras running FW v5.3.3 and my 7816N-E1 running v3.0.10. I believe I need to upgrade the NVR to a newer FW but don't want to lose its English interface. The rest of my cams are all 3MP with MTD hack to English or running Whoslooking ghost FW...

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    Looks like the newer NVR FW is working for you. Is your camera's interface ML defaulting to English (mine is)?

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    The 78xx is the same hardware as the 76xx only produced exclusively for the Asian market. What NVR are you using and what FW rev? Also, what FW is in the camera?

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    I defaulted the camera (Restore all parameters to default settings). I had to re-enter a new password, IP address, etc. I power rebooted it too. No change. Not sure if I should update the FW in the DS-7816N-E1 NVR (AARR in serial #) as I'm worried it will change to Chinese (its language flag...

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    I tried adding the camera to the NVR via ONVIF port 80 and 8000 but it always says "parameter error" even though I know I am using the correct password. I have a Foscam on the NVR using ONVIF without issue. ONVIF Device Manager is reporting two streams from the Camera, a mainstream 2560*1440...

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    Yes, the camera can select H.265 or H.264. I have it set for H.264. As a test I set it to H.265 and the NVR still received the stream though in the NVR camera video settings menu it still reports the camera as H.264 and same issue, Main Stream resolution is quite limited and there's no...

    New 4MP DS-2CD3345-I Camera Hikvision NVR Compatibility issue

    I just took delivery of a DS-2CD3345-I 4MP camera running v5.3.3 (sticker and in the camera) that I can log into, is ML and defaults to English, I can select 2560*1440, etc. I have a Hikvision 7816N-E1 NVR (ML NVR, hacked to default to English) running 3.0.10 with nine 2xx2 3MP cameras all...

    I need help - Abnormal Shutdown

    On my 7608NI-E2 it would run for a few days and then boom, abnormal shutdown. I'd hear its internal buzzer chirp upon reboot. The issue started about a month after I got it. Then more and more frequently. Finally I swapped out the Seagate standard HDD for a WD 2TB Purple. Issue went away...

    That has happened to me too. I ended up lowering the frame rate of my cameras a bit and that worked.

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

    I don't think you can take a camera that came originally with 5.3.0 down below 5.2.5. I would try whoslooking downgrader firmware available here: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4036-Custom-Firmware-Downgrader-5-3-0-Chinese-to-5-2-5-English

    Hikvision Permanent Region Change

    Thanks Whoslooking. I thought that since the installed FW version is 5.2.5 and prtHardInfo indicates an English language flag (01) changing the mtd's language flag to English (01) would make the camera fully English, able to accept any English FW (not the Chinese only 5.3.0). I guess that I'm...

    Hikvision Permanent Region Change

    I'm wondering what, if anything would happen if I changed the language flag in mtd5/mtd6 on the following 2xx2 cam? Original FW was 5.3.0 Delivered FW is 5.2.5 (obviously hacked by Chinese vendor): All menus are in English including the day of the week Login is ML but English is Default The...

    HIKVISION mtd Brick Recovery Guide

    I thought I'd add some information to the mix to see if we can figure out the issues with 5.3.0. I just received a DS-2CD2432F-IW camera. Original FW was 5.3.0. Camera came with 5.2.5 multi-language with English as its default. When I ssh in and prtHardInfo the lang flag is 1. When I dump...

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    Fantastic, I will try that, thank you. If I then try 3.2.1, can I use the new digicap.dav file that was created, via the 3.2.1 GUI, to downgrade back to 3.0.10? If yes, that would be nice as I don't have the UART set up yet. I so don't want to cripple the NVR!

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    Actually, I think I might see it now. Using a hex editor you take the first bytes from a standard digicap.dav file (bytes 0x00-0x6B from 3.0.10 - NVR_(76,77,86-Ex)BL_EN_STD_V3.0.10_141126.zip) and prepend it to the mtdblock2 file that I captured from the NVR thus creating a new GUI loadable...

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    Alastair, are you saying that I can create a digicap.dav load from the mtdblock2 dump? That would be great but I don't see how to accomplish that using hiktools (which is an excellent tool). I've read a lot of posts but the only thing I can see that I can do is expand an existing digicap.dav...

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    I just received the above UART cable and have a 7816N-E1. Does anyone know the pinout to the connector on the 7816N-E1? I think I will only need the Tx, Rx, and GND. Also, I checked the prtHardInfo of the NVR and its language flag is 2 (Chinese, no surprise) and is running 3.0.10 in...

    Hikvision DS-7816N-E2 Shutdown via Web GUI

    You can telnet into the NVR and issue the "halt" command. That caused the hard drive to spin down and I believe the kernel to shut down too, at least on my 7816N-E1 running 3.0.10.
