i figured out how to use the password reset and managed to bring them back to life ! but i'm not sure of the steps of updating the firmware if i were to use the webgui instead of the
tftp server method since i don't have another 12v source (so i'm stuck using the poe switch) and to get to some of the cameras physically involves a very long ladder which i dont have.
are you able to outlay the steps if i were to flash brickfixv2en firmware via the gui ??
cheers
addit:
-i logged into the hikvision webgui of 1 of my 2cd2132 cameras and uploaded the brickv2en firmware via internet explorer
-after waiting 10mins i checked sadp and see that the camera now appears as
DS-2CD-Min-system 192.0.0.64 8000 v4.0.8build 130906 and the serial has changed to a ccrr number
-i power cycled the camera and attempted to run putty and telnet to 192.0.0.64 8000 but i get the message network error. software caused connection abort !
-addit addit: realised i need to telnet 192.0.0.64 port 23 with putty !
-i've gotten to the step of the hex editor and have no idea how to proceed (sorry i'm a noob)
-i'm watching the video and in the video you highlight the dev code 0898 for that camera 2cd2332 but in the hex editor you put in 01 then 08 ???? why is that ?
addit again
-re read the enhanced_mtp_hack document and figured it out !
yay now have dead to working 2cd2132 ! thank you op and everyone that contributed.
hopefully my above stumbling blocks helps someone else.
now another 8 cameras to do uurrrggghh
