It was and still is a chinese cam, however i have since flashed it with unmodified 5.2.0 and 5.2.3 from the web interface following the mtd5/mtd6 mod to change it to an english region camera. That said, im now on 5.2.5. after flashing via the tftp method, perhaps i will now be able to flash to 5.2.8 via the web interface once the firmware is available.Reason may be, that you have originaly Chineese cam with modified firmware.
