This might be your (unspecified) bad update, and what works varies with the manufacturing date / original firmware version, and what went wrong?
But have it anyway:
http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Product Firmware/Cameras/DS-2CD2xx2/V5.2.3 build 141024/
Baseline Firmware_IPC_En_V5.3.0 150327 (2XX2)(New) http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/download_89.html

Pppppfffffffffffffffffff :sad2:
After the update with the file 5.3.0, i can see the camera in SADP but the software version is 4.0.8 build 140610 :-(
The device serial is DS-2CD-Min-System012....
The camera has the adress 192.0.0.64
I can ping this adress but i can't browse it
If i change the settings and i reboot the camera the settings return at the default value :-(
Can someone help me ? I don't know what i must do!

Thanks in advance

Georges

Yes you bricked the camera down to mini system.
Follow my brick recovery guide if you failed the mtd hack.
If you just tried to load 5.3.0 onto a chinese camera just tftp 5.2.5 onto it.
Then do the 5.2.5 mtd hack to make it all English again.

Thx for your help
I try to follow your tuto.
I have already 2 problems... :-(

When i start ftpd server.exe with your file 5.2.5, the ftp server start the initialisation and then stop.
i launch the ftpserver logged in admin, my pc ip is 192.0.0.128 , mask 255.255.255.0 and the firewall is disabled

Where can i find my mtd5 & mtd6 files ?

Georges

 

[whoslooking]

How are you connecting to the camera, data cable direct or through a switch?

The best way to connect is via a network switch with a static IP set to 192.0.0.128 on the PC.
If you a using a loptop make sure your wifi and firewall are both off.

And your digica.dav is in the same folder as Hikvisions tftp

 

[georges orwell]

Ok, through a router, it works!
No, what must i do with your tuto with the mtd2 & mtd6 files ?
Of course, i don't have those files!

Thx

Finally, the Chinese seller sent me the original firmware.
He just needed the date (01-2015)
My camera works again
I post here, if it can help someone
The firmware is multilingual
V5.2.5 build 141201

[Mr.Mike]

Does this have english? Also will it work on a 09/2014 dated DS-2CD2432F-IW?
Thank Mike

 

[onetech]

Hello, are you sure is multilanguage? I tried with my camera and with 5.2.5 switch in china language (( Back to 5.2.0

 

[georges orwell]

@Mike Yes, it has English. For the date, i don't know. @onetech. By me, everything is in english. In the firmware i can choose +/- 30 languages !

 

[whoslooking]

It will be English for camera date 01/2015 only. Then you need to do the mtd hack for 5.2.5 if you are on a different date, then your English.

 

[alastairstevenson]

georges orwell - the date is on the label on the camera, and also in the serial number as shown in the web GUI under 'device information'.

 

[georges orwell]

I know, my answer was for the question of Mike (Also will it work on a 09/2014 dated DS-2CD2432F-IW ? )

 

[alastairstevenson]

Oh, OK. Apologies.
