    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    Yes, I was also able to break the boot sequence with a Ctrl-c and was dropped into a shell prompt. There seemed to be lots of errors being thrown up during the boot sequence when monitoring from the console. Nothing that I could put my finger on. After a short while the device dropped into...

    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    Well in my haste I tried doing what I thought was the manual MTD hack and may have made the situation worse. I confused mtd6ro with mtdblock6 and modified the wrong file. I entered a Telnet session and made a copy of mtdblock5 and mtdblock6 using my network storage mounted on nfs00 using "cat...

    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    I loaded 5.4.5 firmware as suggested which completed successfully however, I was unable to access the web interface, instead getting a language mismatch error which I suppose was to be expected. I then tried loading BrickFix again using the TFTP server which installed successfully however, on...

    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    Thanks Alastair. After a few more hours of blindly poking around the cam I finally have it running but it is now stuck in Chinese language. Firstly, I tried loading the firmware using the "tftpboot" command which loaded the digicap.dav successfully. It was not until later that i realised I...

    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    Because I couldn't wait another 4 weeks to take delivery of the JST connectors from China I decided to try my soldering skills and managed to successfully solder some fine wire to the RX and TX pads on PCB below the serial connector. For the ground I simply clamped a wire under one of the PCB...

    Attempted Region change on DS-2CD3332 gone south. Is it fixable?

    Hi Guys, Need some advice on whether it may be possible to recover my Chinese region 2CD3332-i cam which become unresponsive after an attempt to apply the Brick Fix. I broke the cardinal rule when curiosity got the better of me when I decided to try converting my chinese region 3MP 2CD3332...

    No motion event markers in Hikvision mobile apps ?

    Hey Dan, I have Hik-Connect on my iPad and have basically the same setup that you are trying to get working. I have added both the NVR and the cameras individually to the Hik-Connect app. Whilst you have enabled the virtual host feature I think you may still need to create a static route in...

    IPC-T2385G-I Hikvision 8MP fixed turret (night videos added)

    Ive had this camera installed for only three days now and I'm sad to say that in my view it's not worth all the hype. @mech 's review is quite extensive and looks to be overall positive but if I'd been reviewing this camera today, I'd be suggesting that you stay away from this particular model...

    IPC-T2385G-I Hikvision 8MP fixed turret (night videos added)

    One item worth noting is that the FOV of the 2385G1-I may be larger than Hikvision specifies. I purchased a new 2CD2385G1-I to replace a 2CD2385FWD-I hoping to improve night time viewing at the front of my property. My previous camera was fitted with a 4mm lens which allowed me to resolve...

    iVMS 4500 not available anymore on Samsung devices Playstore

    You are not alone. It has disappeared from Google Playstore as well. Seems that Hikvision in their infinite wisdom has decided to discontinue IVMS-4500 in favour of Hik-Connect. Personally, I like the simplicity of IVMS-4500 over Hik-Connect. You can still get IVMS-4500 for Android on the...

    Can I use my Hikvision setup to count cars?

    I want to count passing traffic on a busy road to build up some statistics on when traffic is busiest and how many vehicles use the road during each day over the course of a few weeks. I have at my disposal a Hikvision 7608NI-I2 NVR and a 2CD2385FWD-I camera. I see that IVMS4200 V3 has a...

    Two new spin-offs of IVMS4200 have now appeared on the Eu download portal dated 22nd July 2019 with versions IVMS4200-VS 1.0.0.6 and IVMS4200-AC 1.0.0.6. Some release notes in the download directories but I couldn't tell you what is different from IVMS4200 v 3.1.1.6 except that the "AC" version...

    Hikvision I-series NVR Motion Event mask defaults after reboot

    Looks like this issue has been discussed before. As far back as 2015 and there appears to have been no solution. The last posts on this subject were: Hikvision Motion Detection Event Settings Getting Reset and Issues with Hikvision 2332-i retaining settings The suggestions to overcome the...

    Hikvision I-series NVR Motion Event mask defaults after reboot

    From time to time I need to completely rebuild the motion event mask on all the IP cams connected to my Hikvision 7608NI/I2-8P NVR. The problem seem to occur if the NVR has been reboot. After startup the NVR seems to be resetting the motion detection mask back to include the full image which...

    Hikvision 76 77 96 NI-I Firmware 4.21 update

    A new version of NVR firmware has appeared on the RU ftp site at 4.21.005. I thought it might be a bug fix release but it seems to have also included a new sub menu item under the configuration menu labeled "IOT Channel Settings". I am assuming IOT is an abbreviation for "Internet of Things"...

    No motion event markers in Hikvision mobile apps ?

    The only way I have found to show the event markers on IVMS4500 is to add the camera as a device directly to the app. For this to work each camera needs a separate storage location to store the event recordings. I have set up a separate network shares where each of my cams store event...

    New Hikvision iVMS4200 Lite 1.0.0.4

    I believe it's asking for your camera's admin password so that they can be added automatically without entering the password for each cam individually. If left blank, you will need to enter the camera password manually when prompted during he device detection phase.

    Websockets setting on G1 (5.5.61) and R6 (5.5.53)

    EDIT: My mistake. Only shows on the G1 (5.5.61) firmware. Not the R6 (5.5.53). I loaded the latest firmware on my G1 and R6 series cams this evening. The only change I noted was the appearance of a new tab under Advanced Network Settings titled "Network Service" In the tab are two...

    Hikvision NVR 760XNI-I Firmware 4.1.60 release

    This is the second time I've flashed V4.1.60 firmware on my DS7608NI-I2/8P. The first time, I had to roll back to 4.1.54 because I couldn't see my 8MP cam in live view. Did all the usual updating webcomponents and clearing browser cache. This time around my 8MP cam shows up in live view but...
