Thanks. I had part 1 and 2 done already which allows me to connect from my LAN to the cameras residing behind the NVR subnet. However I can't do part 3 with my current POS U-Verse gateway so I'm kind of screwed at the moment. I have a nice ASUS router on order and as soon as I get it I'll DMZ...

Actually someone in another thread said that it still doesn't work: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/2888-FTP-configuration-error-with-Hikvision-DS-2CD2032-I

Re: email alerts to attach image on DS-7108N-SN/P or get camera to communicate outsid Did you get this to work? I'm running into the same problem but with FTP not working on the camera to communication to the outside world. I don't have a static route in my router but that should be of no issue...

The documentation said from fw 5.2 up it should handle domain names not only IPs. fw 5.1 and below does not. I currently have my own connection problems so I can't verify this.

OK, I found the interval snapshot mode but I still can't find a way to set up the routing to get past the NVR.

Here is the setup: I have a 7616 that is connected to my router and I have several cameras connected to the NVR. I'd like the cameras to upload snapshots at 5 minute intervals to a server outside of my local network. So far I'm failing at it. What do I need to set up so the cameras can get to...

From the linked thread: "No you can’t upgrade to 5.3.0 this is done via another check which I’m still looking for." So I guess it's not done yet. So either there are some sellers who were savvy enough to make the change and not tell people and things seem fine (mine from Amazon upgrade to the...

Exactly. It's flash memory that holds the region code that the firmware matches up against. But as far as I could tell nobody has shared information as to how to modify the flash memory to change a camera's region coding outside of Hikvision themselves. As soon as someone can do it, the whole...

Thanks, but nope. I read that thread before I even made a purchase. That procedure describes how to modify a firmware file to match the region code set in the hardware at the factory. I was looking for a procedure to check the actual hardware code of a camera. FWIW both my cameras and my...

Would you mind sharing how one would verify the 'hardware descriptor block'?

You must not be an engineer... If identical files are released on both US and Euro sites then one can assume that it works on both. Otherwise they would cause great havoc. Could there be a firmware released that works on one but not on the other? Sure. But in this case that's not what's...

I did check what you asked me to and it did show up with "english". However my problem was with the second part of your advice: "If English, and you don't ever upgrade the FW, all will be fine." I want to upgrade! That is the whole point of buying a legitimate English version for twice the...

While the above poster very well could be a valuable contributor to this forum, he was of no help answering my question. So I did "upgrade" the firmware on my camera to the v5.3.0_150513 that was on the US support website against all advice and nothing broke, it came up just fine and works as...

Operative word in my comment was "latest". The version of the firmware on the camera is dated 151016 and I can chose Hungarian as a language in the dropdown list. This is obviously the EU firmware. The US firmware was released much sooner as it didn't need all the translations so it was released...

Exactly. And the build date and version for the US version of the 5.3.0 is different than the build date of the EU version. The latest firmware on the US site is v5.3.0_150513 The latest firmware on the EU website is v5.3.0_151016 The camera came with the 151016 build date one hence I assume it...

Well I did upgrade my NVR from EU to US firmware and other than the problem with the initial user/password combination it seem to have taken just fine. Is something different about cameras than the 7616 NVR? Does US get a different region code than Europe?

You see, I'm not concerned with bricking the camera. These are cameras I just received from Amazon so if there is something wrong I can just return them. I want to ensure that they can and will be updateable should a new feature come out that I would like to have at a later time, such as Google...

I got some cameras and they are all 5.3.0 but in Euro FW. I'm in the US. Should I try to install the US firmware onto them? I have a 7616 NVR that is already running US firmware.

Are you talking about the 4MP version or any "T" version? The 2T32 I got is certainly a Euro version with an Euro serial. If the 4MP version is China only then I don't want it. I'd like to keep the firmware upgradeable without hacks.

The plot thickens. I have ordered a 2T42WD and assumed I received one from Amazon. However looking at the configuration page it is obvious that I have received a 2T32 instead. I guess this one is going back to Amazon as it's not what I have ordered. I got home late last night and didn't really...

My serial is a CCWR not a CH. It looks like the 5.3.6 FW is not for my camera. I have a DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 ad it seems to be running European firmware. I was trying to change it over to US firmware to no avail. Is there any benefit running it with US firmware? The latest US firmware at the moment...

I just purchased some cameras and they came with 5.3.0 build 151016 I'm tying o upgrade to 5.3.6 from the USA website and every time I try to upgrade via the camera web page I get the error that says "failed to get the upgrade status" and the camera does not upgrade. I also tried to upgrade...

That did the trick! Thanks so much. On to upgrading some cameras now...

I just received my 7616 today from Amazon and it was advertised as a USA model in orignal box. I upgraded to the latest USA firmware, 3.3.5 and it quickly screwed it up as the admin login page now looks like this: I can no longer log into it, I tried the password reset code generator to no...

Here is my question: I'm planning on haveing a 6-8 camera setup at my house with an 8ch NVR for continuous recording and notifications and remote viewing. However, I'm also planning on using one of these cameras for a weather station and that requires FTP uploads to a server at 5 minute...

I'm not that concerned about the warranty aspect either, I'm more concerned with being able to update the firmware to the latest one with the latest features, as they come along, without the hassle of dealing with grey market. I found Nelly's since I asked so I'll be reaching out to them...

Hi, I'm looking to get a complete setup for my new house and I'm leaning towards Hikvision or LaView for the job. I'm looking at an 8ch NVR and 4MP bullet cameras for the outside and two 3MP wi-fi box cameras for the inside. I think I should go with the original Hikvision for firmware update...
