Perfect. Reset worked (Plugged out the cable, pressed the reset button, kept it pressed and inserted the power plug, and held the button for 25 more seconds)
Reset worked (IP was set to 169.254. whatever)
I set the IP back to 192.0.0.64
WebUI was accessible.
Tried to upgrade with your firmware.
Right now it is greyed out, seems to update but is stucked at 0% for 8 Minutes now.

:-/ My 4 year old just interrupted the power supply while I tried to flash the firmware again... Now the cam boots the minsystem (according to SADP Tool V4.0.8build 130906) but TFTP still shows nothing... the chinese ui is gone :-(

SOLVED! Anyone else in my shoes, please read.

BTW, I like the idea of trying a switch (POE switch), I was using a 12V wall wart. Also, for anyone reading the this, this solution is only necessary if the TFTP does not connect to the camera. For most people it does.

Here's my solution. Rather involved, but i'd like to help someone else repeat these steps if they need to.

To start, you need:
(a) the SADP tool (from hikvision.com)
(b) the TFTP tool (see elsewhere on forums)
(c) The right firmware (digicap.dav) for your camera. (What worked for me was the file that was 19,819,598 bytes)
(d) Enable telnet client in Windows (search online. It's just enable in Control Panel->Turn Windows Features On or Off.)

Steps:
(1) On laptop change the LAN adapter to 192.0.0.128. Disable wireless and firewall
(2) Plug in camera and use SADP to find it
(3) Use SADP to change camera IP to 192.0.0.64, but do not power down camera
Test that "ping 192.0.0.64" should now work
However, do NOT power cycle the camera, or it reverts to the other IP address that it seems to get stuck on
(4) From the TFTP directory (mine is on a USB stick, D: )
D:\TFTP> tftpserv.exe (and leave it running)
(6) Then telnet into the device:
D:\TFTP> telnet 192.0.0.64
(user: root password: 12345)
(7) Copy the digicap.dav file to the camera:
# tftp -r digicap.dav -g 192.0.0.128
(You should see connect/transmitting/completed text in the tftpserv window.)
(8) Then type "upgrade" (which is a command I found in the camera's bin\ directory):
# upgrade
(You should see the device upgrading)
(9) Reboot the device (while holding the reset button for 30 seconds if you have one)
(10) Rescan in SADP
VOILA! The camera should appear, still with 192.0.0.64 and have the correct device type!
(11) Change the camera's IP address to whatever you want
(12) Use IE or iVMS-4200 to set other camera configuration and verify the live feed works.

Lastly, change the laptop back to its normal settings (DHCP, enable firewall, enable wireless).

This whole process from start-to-finish took me 14 hours. If my time was worth money, I would've just bought new cameras! I really hope someone finds this useful.

In the meantime I found this thread...
While trying to follow the steps I get an error at step 7...
But an interesting thing happened in the background while I was trying to follow those steps

 

[Glyxbringer]

second try...
But it did not start automatically....
I had to follow the steps above...

Спасибо

I hope that means thank you very much.

So I managed to install the firmware you gave me the link to...
Version is 5.2.5 build 141201 now...
Language: chinese ^^

 

[Oleglevsha]

make a factory reset

 

[Glyxbringer]

make a factory reset

did that already... needed to do that in order to load your firmware... without factory reset it still loads the min system

 

[Glyxbringer]

make a factory reset

Well you could have mentioned that there is a language selection drop down field... ;-)
After logging out I could select between different languages and english was available too!!!
Thank you very much!
May I buy you a beer somehow?

One more question: Am I now good to go and follow the upgrade path to the latest english fw?

 

[Oleglevsha]

now consistently update the camera firmware to the latest firmware version from the European hikvision server

Resetting to factory settings after firmware is a mandatory procedure, otherwise the main application receives incorrect parameters

Thank you again so much Sir! My cam is now updated to the latest firmware and is working great!

I find that with a simple string (

http://192.168.1.250/onvif-http/snapshot?auth=YWRtaW46MTEK

) I can get into my camera and see my camera's image without so much as a password prompt. I thought that updating (via this method) to V5.4.5 build 170401 everything would be fixed, but that appears to not be the case. Can anyone else comment?

Device: DS-2CD2032-I
Encoding: V5.0 build 170401
Web: V4.0.1 build 170117

I just checked this, and with a single fresh instance of the IE11 browser where the user has not been logged in, the camera does prompt for authentication.

However - if the user is either logged in on another tab, or has been logged in and is now logged out, or the user is logged in on another IE11 browser instance, there isn't an authentication prompt.
The session cookie is treated as valid.
I'd expected that it would be destroyed on logout, but that's not happening, nor is it being decently randomised on another login instance.

Suggestion :
Exit all IE11 browsers.
Start IE11 and without logging in on any tabs, test the URL as you have used in your post above.

Noted, thanks! As you stated, in a new browser it does prompt for auth, it just doesn't retire the cookie / approval as expected.
