    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera

    Glad you found the post useful. I agree - stupid place for that button. Good luck with the camera reset!

    Also, this is the first time I received an email notification that someone replied to my original post?!. My (belated) thanks to everyone who took the time to reply back in February.

    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera

    Yes. I found the reset button - thanks for the reminder to update this post. Reset button is found on top of the camera module. To access: Remove 4 black plugs over the screws holding the dome on. Remove 4 screws holding the dome on. Remove one screw on camera shroud (just below the lens)...

    Where is the reset button on a Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera

    I originally posted this on the CCTVForum site, but didn't see much interest in the post there. Thought I would try here too: Does anybody know where I can find the reset button on the Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Camera? I removed the dome and found the Micro-SD slot, and the serial (debug)...

    IVMS-4200 3.1.1 problem with NVR

    Yup. I see the exact same problem and it isn't something I saw in previous versions of IVMS-4200. I don't have a solution for it either. I'll update this post if I figure it out. For reference, I'm using Version: V3.1.0.4 build 20190513

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 NVR - Does not re-attach to NAS Storage

    Should a Hikvision NVR automatically re-connect to NAS storage if that storage is temporarily unavailable? I recently configured my Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 NVR to use NAS Storage in addition to the two local hard drives. It took a fair amount of hair pulling, consternation and a few choice...

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    I'm all out of ideas too. I'll probably put this aside for a while unless some new ideas come up. Thanks again for all the help - it's been a good educational exercise for me. I did have a question though - how did you extract the uImage file from the firmware file?

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    Thanks for the additional suggestions. I tried that and got the same result: HKVS # tftp 0x80007fc0 uImage link up on port 0, speed 100, full duplex Using cpsw device TFTP from server 192.0.0.128; our IP address is 192.0.0.64 Filename 'uImage'. Load address: 0x80007fc0 Loading...

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    Thanks for your continued support @alastairstevenson and welcome to the party @rearanger ! I ran a test by changing one byte and confirmed the cmp command detected the difference: Step1: Set the memory to all 0xff values, and run the comparison: HKVS # mw.b 0x81000000 0xff 0x2e0000 HKVS #...

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    Instead of using the 'md' command to display the contents of memory, I tried using the 'cmp' command to compare the first half of that memory block to the second half. Also, I read that the U-Boot memory commands accept modifiers to define the size of the memory object, so I executed all...

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    I ran the mw and md commands as specified. I enabled logging on putty in hopes of catching all of the output to the putty log. The mw command executed in less than a second. It appears to have worked, as the md command floods the screen with the memory contents (000000ff). After about 10...

    Thanks again. I encountered the same 'unexpected EOF' error when using the uImage you provided. Here is the output from the commands you suggested: HKVS # printenv bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 mem=128M bootcmd=loadk;bootm 0x80007fc0 bootdelay=2 baudrate=115200 netmask=255.255.255.0...

    Thanks @alastairstevenson ! Yes, I've tried the firmwares found at that link (except for V5.4.5_Build170216 since it said it was '(Only for Dual-lens ATM)'). The firmware I was loading in the example shared was the one from the USA Hikvision site...

    DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ Fails to boot: Uncompressing Linux... unexpected EOF -- System halted

    Hello! I'm attempting to bring a Hikvision DS-2CD4112FWD-IZ back from the dead and I could sure use some help. I received the camera in a state where it would not boot up. I don't know how it got into this state. I've flashed several different versions of firmware to the camera (from both the...

    LaView LV-PDBONLO3R Doorbell Camera - Rebranded Dahua or Hikvision?

    Yes. It does look like a variant of that RCA camera. Based on my quick review of the post you linked, the RCA appears to be a rebranded Hikvision ( NA-KB6013-WIP ). I'll read through that post some more - thanks!

    LaView LV-PDBONLO3R Doorbell Camera - Rebranded Dahua or Hikvision?

    Is anyone familiar with the LaView LV-PDBONLO3R doorbell camera? Is it a rebrand of something like Dahua or Hikvision? Most of the LaView cameras I have seen have been Hikvision rebrands, but I can't find a Hikvision doorbell model that looks similar to this one. The description for the camera...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Yea, I know it shouldn't but I've always had issues with this camera randomly losing connection and often the video is slow to load or temporarily drops out so I have my suspicions about the cabling. I was just removing the cabling as a variable by connecting it to the switch more directly. I...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Here are some details from my experience. The issues I had are probably covered somewhere in this thread, but I didn't read the entire thread before jumping right in (I only really read the first page of posts..) Since this is a little long, so I'll put the lessons learned up front: Run...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Inadvertently attempted to flash English 5.4.5 on my Chinese language DS-2CD2032-I - causing it to be inaccessible from the web GUI. This process brought it back to life, and in English too! While I was at it I updated my other Chinese camera to English - a DS-2CD2432F-IW (slab) camera. Also...

    Lorex LNR280 NVR (Hikvision 7608NI/P) hangs on boot

    Thanks again - I'll check the warranty. I found the receipt and I purchased it May 30, 2013... so fingers crossed for a 3-year warranty (or 2+credit card) :D If I'm out of luck on the warranty or with Lorex support - does anyone have suggestions for a replacement? Have there been any major...

    Lorex LNR280 NVR (Hikvision 7608NI/P) hangs on boot

    Thanks Fenderman! I no longer have the complete system. I sold the 2 Dome cameras the system came with on eBay and bought a few new bullets.. Will they give a partial refund for a partial system return?

    Lorex LNR280 NVR (Hikvision 7608NI/P) hangs on boot

    I posted this over at the cctvform, and I thought I would re-post here to reach a broader audience (If I get an answer to my issue, I'll be sure to share it on both forums). I'm hoping you all can help me with my Lorex LNR280 NVR (purchsed at Costco). It has been running fine for a couple of...
