Hey everyone, Backstory: I have a state mandate requiring me to record 24/7 and retaining it for 45 days. I have 32 different model Hikvision cameras and currently using Synology Surveillance Station. Is there a way to effectively set it up so that I can record continuously at a lower...

The camera should have a sticker physically attached to it with the serial number, date of manufacture, and a version number of the firmware it shipped with. Here's a camera that came with 5.3.0 from the factory. This one, being a Chinese camera, would not be upgradable. But if you had one with...

So, if the sticker on the cameras show a firmware older than 5.2.0 (ie. 5.1.0, 5.1.6, etc.), you SHOULD be able to upgrade to 5.4.5 without issue. I literally just did 16 of mine that were all 5.1.0 and 5.1.6 CCCH 2032/21232's. Here is a link: MTD Hack Upgrade The steps I took are on posts #7...

16 Chinese cameras were upgraded to 5.4.5 without issues! Looks like it works fine!

Apparently, I had already done an MTD hack on it (or maybe the firmware they loaded on it came with a hack?) at some point because when I uploaded the 5.2.5 on there, it showed up in English. It did not show up in SADP after I attempted the 5.3.0 update. I just jumped straight to TFTP'ing it...

Some bad news. I may have bricked one. But after doing some research, it may have been a camera I replaced at a later point that came with 5.2.0 or newer (up to 5.2.5) preinstalled. If this is true, it was my mistake as it is known that Chinese cameras with newer than 5.1.6 preinstalled cannot...

So good news. I upgraded the firmware from the cameras web portal using the international firmware upgrades and it upgraded without issue. I've only done two so far, but it seems to be working all the way to 5.4.5! No TFTP use so far. I have done the step upgrades, upgrading in this order...

I used the non-4 Lines firmware from here: Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English I followed the steps/video on here to do the upgrade and MTD hack: Hikvision 5.2.5 & 5.2.8 Full English (INC DAYS OF WEEK) mtd Hack I only followed these steps for getting from 5.1.6 to 5.2.5...

Well, I wanted the newer features that are offered on 5.4.5. But as for what I did: First I upgraded to 5.2.5 from 5.1.6. When I installed the update, some cameras bricked, some didn't. So I had TFTP ready just in case. The ones that upgraded without issue started up in Chinese, so I did the...

Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you for the response. Where would I get the international 5.4.5 firmware?

Hey everyone, I hate to beat a dead horse here, but I just wanted to clarify: Unless I'm misunderstanding what I read, it seems that if I have a Chinese 2xx2 camera that came with 5.1.6, updated to 5.2.5 with the MTD hack, I can upgrade to the latest firmware (5.4.5) without issue in English...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up my Synology NAS with my Hikvision DS-9664NI-I8 NVR. Does anyone have experience with this? I have got it to recognize the location, but it hangs when it tries to format. Maybe I have it setup incorrectly? Thanks!

I am able to do that. I turned it on, I click on the link, and it tells me it's unavailable. I tried doing the "auto" config and the manual to 192.0.0.64, neither work. The other cameras allow me to connect.

Hey everyone, I (stupidly) upgraded the firmware on my DS-2CD2032-I to 5.3.0. Now the DS-7716NI-SP won't connect to it. All the other cameras are on 5.1.0 and work except this one. The camera still "functions", as in the nightvision turns on at night, but I cannot connect to it through the NVR...
