Cameras: DS-2CD2132-I FW: V5.4.5 build 170123 Grey market with MTD fix. Had a long run without having to worry about these cameras :) Which has been lovely after the plethora of rubbish FW and having them bricked by Hikivision. But alas it looks like they've come back to bite me in the rear :(...

Thanks, in my case I couldn't get any response from terminal. Banged the keyboard and not a single character appeared.

Ok I’ll give that a try. So on first PC no keyboard inputs were working at all? IE even after it booted nothing u typed showed up. Have to dig out another PC and keep my fingers crossed.

I thought that was more for people who had issues editing mtdbkocks/etc manually. I’ve managed to do all the other cameras using tftp updater and hex edit. This one is completely bricked (not connecting to tftp server) which is why I’m using UART to try and point it to the tftp server.

Heres output from camera: U-Boot 1.3.4-30623 (Dec 6 2012 - 11:05:48) *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment crc=0x8f1a8b9b,env.crc=0xffffffff ARM Clock: 480MHz DDR Clock: 336MHz Hit Ctrl+u to stop autoboot: 0 |BIND err| Unknown command:null nand booting ... load kernel... load...

Finally got around to trying to fix my bricked 2CD2132 and its been a royal PITA. Firstly the Prolific USB-Serial adapter turns out to be using a counterfeit chip and prolific in there wisdom have blocked it in their latest drivers without letting you know why. In my case as I was using an old...

Does anyone know the size of molex connector on the 2CD2132 Dome cameras? I ordered the TTL UART which came with fly leads, but they don't fit. And my local components store don't fancy pulling out all their molex connectors to find the right size :/

Ok switched. Let's see how it goes :) I recal from your other post you saying the US server keeps a record of older alerts. I just tested and it doesn't seem to be the case for me?

Thanks, I did come across your post. I am also in the UK and connecting directly to the cameras (no NVR). I did try switching region to US, but it didn't make a difference. Do I need to switch anything on the actual cameras, or just settings in IVMS4500 app settings? I'll try switching again...

Just to clarify, I can enable them within IVMS4500 (either by being on LAN, or via VPN into LAN), I just don't get any notifications. Seems to randomly stop working for days on end.

I have 8 cameras setup across two locations. Occasionally when a location is unoccupied we enable event push notifications on our iOS mobile Apps. Push notifications worked fine on both setups for a while. A few weeks ago I enabled them on all the cameras in one location and noticed they...

Nobody seen this before? Any other general tricks I could try?

At the rate theyre selling us plastic crap on tick, they'll own it all soon anyway :D

So I thought I'd got these cameras figured out. I finally updated the last three to complete my second setup. Followed the setup sequence notes I've made (i.e. use IVMS4200 Windows for smart events, then chrome for schedule, etc, etc). But now I've run into another head scratcher of a problem...

Why would you want to block outbound access? Given the highlighted Privilege Escalation vulnerability (and the general piss poor nature of HIK's software) I can understand the advice to avoid exposing their products to the WWW. I can only think of two reasons to block outbound access (i.e...

If not are there any workarounds people have found? I was thinking I could possibly set the snapshot folder as small as possible (i.e. it holds a days events) and look into having the NAS sync it with dropbox. That way I could have the push events to alert me and simply open dropbox to see the...

Been struggling with many aspects of these cameras, but on the 3 I've got working am quite happy with motion detection features. I've used a 3 zone approach: 1) Basic motion detection for ancillary zone (as the models I have only allow 1 of each smart event) 2) Intrusion detection for main...

I got one with two individual 5 way leads (one set male to male and one female to female). I do have plenty of molex connectors/leads laying around, but it was only a 90p more and gives flexibility for the future. Although I likely won't be able to find it next time I need it, just like the last...

Ordered a PL2303HX TTL UART (I've already got one but can't find the bloody thing) and will give the serial recovery a go and report back. Its probably cost me more in time then buying a new camera but I can't let it go now :D

I'm in London. At the time I bought the 6 giving me trouble I had no idea about their issue with grey market :/ Someone mentioned a Costco US deal, but Costco UK only had analogue cameras at the time. There wasn't much availability here and these were well reviewed and seemed like a good...

PC was wired, connected to same switch. Pinged the Camera from the PC first. Then changed its IP to 192.0.0.128. Then pulled camera cable and reinserted to reboot it. Saw nothing on TFTP server, so plugged in my MAC and changed its IP to the 192.0.0.0/24 subnet and verified I could hit the TFTP...

Had one of my 6 cameras (DS-2CD2132-I) running V4.0.9 130106 which wouldn't take an update (kept saying failed after trying for several minutes through web interface). Thought I'd give this a whirl but looks like I've bricked it now :( First it wouldn't connect to the TFTP server (192.0.0.128)...

IVMS4200 - OSX - v1.02.03.02 (latest) Cam 1 - 2CD2142FWD-I, v5.4.5 build 170124 - UK Camera Cam 2 - DS-2CD2132-I, v5.4.41 build 170312 - Chinese Camera Issue 1: The OSX version of IVMS4200 appears to be missing configuration options. For example you can only configure basic motion events not...

I've come to the conclusion the mycloud was a waste of money :/ I have an n54l on which i now plan to install expenology. I'll strip the drive from the my cloud so it wasn't a total loss (about £30 more then a WD Red 4TB would have cost me anyway). As a bonus xpenology also does openvpn, so...

Thanks for replying. I tried that and managed to get the plugin loading. Problem is the view is black. So plugin is working but no picture. Also tried the ESR 45 release on my old MAC 10.7.5 and again same problem. Just now dug out an old Windows 7 laptop and managed to get the plugin working...

Wasted another morning with these damn cameras. It looks like I can configure them directly via the web interface. The problem is I can't get the web plugin to work with any of my machines/browsers. Even tried an old Mac on 10.7.5. But just get a black screen on both safari and Firefox ESR 45...

Still playing around with it, although should really hit bed :/ Enabling and saving motion/intrusion detection appears to work from browser. But I can't draw the zones as the plugin no longer works on any of the browsers I try on Mac. On Firefox windows I got it to work but it isn't running...

So good news is it took UK FW 5.4.41 and smart events are still there. Bad news is still get the above error when trying to configure motion events. However, it may be due to OSX IVMS4200 (probably wishful thinking) as I noticed it is missing the mibs to show smart events. EDIT: Was wishful...

First camera seems to be working. Modified block 16 and reboot and its come up in English. Now to try the UK firmware on it. EDIT: Then again, perhaps not. Tried to setup motion detection and got the following error: Error code HCNetSDK.dll[11].(Data transmission failed, incorrect data to or...

Interesting, second camera is reporting errors on two different blocks: # cat /dev/mtdblock11 > temp11 cat: read error: Input/output error # cat /dev/mtdblock12 > temp12 # cat /dev/mtdblock13 > temp13 # cat /dev/mtdblock14 > temp14 cat: read error: Input/output error
