    Unable to set IP address on Hikvision Storage Server

    Okay, I finally got it solved. I set the admin password on the local configuration menu but apparently, I also have to enter the password in the user section. Go figure.

    Unable to set IP address on Hikvision Storage Server

    Anyone know how I can set the IP address on the Hikvision Storage Server installed on a PC. My subnet is 192.x.x.x. but it keeps generating an IP address with 172.x.x.x. So the client only sees devices in the 192 subnet and I need to add it manually. The problem is the 172 client address can...

    The client started to crash today. I'm upgraded to 2.5.0.3 to see if worked and it didn't. The only I did today was add several cameras.

    All done. I appreciate the patience and the support. One question I have is that the 2432 audio is going off. I checked the pfr and it is not enabled so I'm wondering how to turn it off.

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    The interesting thing about the 2032 is that I did not get the activate message like the 2432. Also, SADP is showing 192.0.0.64 for the camera; DHCP was turned off and I might have one point changed it to 192.0.0.64 before the downgrade. Anyways, an interesting thing happened. As I mentioned...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Okay, I got the 2432 fixed with the mtd hack but I'm having problems with the 2032 camera. I had to disassemble it in order to use the console port. I downgraded it but now I can't log in. It rejects my password. I tried to reset it using the password reset tool from this site. The prompt...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Okay, I think I did something good and bad. I ran a chkip command it set the IP to 192.0.0.64. I was then able to ping it from the server. I started the tftp server and then I exec the update from the console. It downloaded the digicap file. I rebooted and then it started to download the...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    I consider myself a technical guy who has been in the IP networking business for 15+ years. I'm comfortable with networking protocols and using wireshark. When I reboot the camera, I'm capturing packets using the mac address but I don't see any UDP packet with port 69. The last instance, I...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Yes, I'm doing everything over wired. I have SADP up and running and it does shows up. The problem is that I get a "language mismatch" when I try to configure it. Also, it doesn't show up in the iVMS-4200 Client. I have reset it several times to try to get it to talk to the tftp server so I...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    I'm using wired. I did as you suggested and I could not ping 192.0.0.64. I have a server and the camera going to a switch and I set the server to 192.0.0.128. I ping 192.0.0.64 -t and restarted the camera. No responses

    I have nine cameras and I upgraded a 2432 and 2032 to 5.3 build 150513. Turns out the cameras are Chinese region so I lost access to them. I tried following the sticky post from Whoslooking to downgrade but the cameras did not issue a tftp command. I tried various configurations. Going...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Yes. You're correct. I picked up a TTL level serial adapter and it worked. Now, I'm trying to figure how to update the firmware using the console. Most of the threads out there talk about using tftp server. Do you have any commands I can use?

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    I constructed the console cable for the 2432 but I'm getting unreadable txt. I figured it was a bad connection but I redone it several times and I get the same result. It is only three wires. I'm using USB to serial adapter and there is a LED that lits when it establish communications. I'm...

    Understood, but I'm have not captured any packets from the IP camera with a source IP 192.0.0.64 or 192.168.1.64? So must I manually reset the camera?

    Thanks. I did it and still no activity on the tftp server. Since the DHCP requests times out, the cam IP get set to 169.254.6.144. BTW, I configured another computer (192.0.0.0.130) in the same subnet and I was able to ping the computer set to 192.0.0.128.

    I need some assistance with an IP camera I upgraded to 5.3.0. I read through the forum threads and I followed whoslooking instructions. However, the device doesn't communicate with the tftp server. I disconnected the router, set the IP of my computer to 192.0.0.100, started tftpserver and...
