Hi,

I have 4 cameras connected to an updatable Hikvision NVR-7608-NI/E2 They are currently currently the following firmwares

Bullet DS-2CD2032-I V5.2.5 build 141201
Turret DS-2CD2332-I V5.1.2 build 140116
Cube DS-2CD2432F-IW V5.2.5 build 141201

As the cameras are controlled by the NVR, can I simply upgrade the cameras to the latest chinese firmware so as to get the security fixes? Is this advisable?

Thanks!

The outcome, when the cameras revert to their CN origin and menus after updating, will be that the NVR rejects them with a 'language mismatch' error.
Assuming the NVR firmware is at least 3.2.1
