    Hikvision dvr record schedule vs arming schedule

    Hi, did you manage to figure this one out? I'm also a little confused as to the difference between the "Arming Schedule" under Motion/Basic Event and the "Record Schedule" under Schedule settings... after some messing around (ie; turning the record schedule off but leaving the arming schedule...

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

    Okay soooo...... I feel like such an idiot, but I dug up an old switch from the shed and it made ALL the difference... once everything was plugged into the switch the tftp service activated every time I rebooted the camera. I think using a patch lead between PC/Camera wasn't giving it enough...

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

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

    Hi there, I was just about to go out and buy a new camera today when I thought I'd take one final look here since I hadn't checked this post for awhile, and with help from the last few posts I've managed to unbrick following Zork1970's method above. But as you said, I do indeed have CN menus...
