Hey peeps, So I jumped on here about a year ago asking if I should upgrade my 5 DS-2CD2332's 5.0 firmware but I was not made aware of the backdoor hack specifically (with all due respect to "alastairstevenson" who I'm sure had my best interests at heart) and I should have researched more into it, so I left everything and everything was running fine. Until...
A couple of days ago I changed the default password and activated RTSP to integrate the cams with "Home Assistant". I had also just purchased the Netgear Orbi which had UPnP activated by default. Then within a day I lost all my 5 cameras (not visible by NVR or web)
I was unaware of the backdoor hacks until this problem happened and I researched into it.
I'm now panicking and don't know where to start troubleshooting the problem
Where do I go from here?
If/when I do get my cams back, will updating the firmware get rid of all previous hacks?
There is this part of the article Hikvision flaw could be remotely exploited to hijack cameras, DVRs
```
Thanks in advanced

- Take over the user’s account after resetting their password. After that, even if the user tried factory resetting their device, it would not be “unbound” from the attacker’s account without contacting Hikvision. Stykas added, “If we change the password we can use the devices menu on the Hik-connect android app and manage the device (update firmware and brick it or do whatever we want) without any password given.”```
Thanks in advanced
