Re: Hikvision Bullets on AmazonHate to double post, but just realized what one of you asked. If telnet into the camera, there's a command, prthardinfo that displays the language flag, 2 for china, 1 for english. The example below is a china camera...
I have what I think is a China version camera - it has a serial number with CH in it, and is from Aliexpress; day of the week
is in english, but it came with 2.5.5. However when I telnet and use this command, my language flag is "1."
What does this mean? I would just like to make sure I can upgrade in the future. I assumed I would have to deal with switching back to english, but now I'm confused.
Edit 1: This is weird... The camera's webpage admin interface reports - Firmware: V5.2.5 build 141201, Encoding version: V5.0 build 140714. But the telenet command returns - Firmware V5.2.5 build 141201.
EDIT 2: What I first thought was "weird," in my 'Edit 1' isn't at all. I misread the firmware version on the web interface, thinking it was different than the telnet.
