Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

[starsat2000]

Hello
Last week i change router and only my Hikvision camera had problem with the email alert, tree other cameras work fine. So I upgraded me Chinese Hikvision camera 5.2.5 multilingual to 5.3 firmware version from hikvisioneurope.com website and after the upgrade, camera was just rebooting.
Then i used tftp to recover it.
I have problem with TFTP because the software is trasmited it to the camera but never i receive the message -system update complete!- i wait more than 10 minutes, i saw the normal time is 5 minutes
Also the seller send me the software that camera had before, but again i had the some problem
The SAPD recognize the camera but the IPv4 DHCP Status is Off and HTTP port is 0
When i try to change something after 15 sec say i am out of time and also the pass 12345 don't work
The camera not running the web interface so i can't configure it.
Then i used the 5.30 Downgrader 4lines.rar
I did exactly all steps but again the some problem, i was waiting 30 minutes and i did not see -system update comlete-
How long i must wait for that message?
Thanks George

If you know it is chinese why upgrade with EU firmware. Big mistake. SDAP Tool shows your camera in recovery mode.

use the 1 line downgrader if it does not work change language flag. Read the forum

Dont need to wait 30 min.
Keep ping your camera if it stop receiving ping then wrong firmware. You can powercycle and try again with other.

SDAP Tool shows your camera in recovery mode. I don't see any information about that

use the 1 line downgrader if it does not work change language flag. What do you mean??

Keep ping your camera if it stop receiving ping then wrong firmware. The camera ping without loss packet
You can powercycle and try again with other. What other??

Then i used the 5.30 Downgrader 4lines.rar

That version has been known not to work for all cameras.
The 1-line version is the one to try - the FIRST link in the first post here : https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4036-Custom-Firmware-Downgrader-5-3-0-Chinese-to-5-2-5-English

Thanks alastairstevenson

I had already done what you said and i have recover my camera but still i have the problem with the email,
this was the reason that i tried to make update.
This camera DS-2CD2132F-IWS don't send emails with my new router TP-LINK TD-W8970B,
3 others cheap ipcamera works fine!
Anybody has any idea?

If you've set a fixed IP address on the camera, try setting the DNS as 8.8.8.8 instead of your router IP address as the DNS. That seems to work better with Hikvision cameras.
Lots of posts about problems with gmail at the moment.
What are your email settings?

 

[starsat2000]

Hello alastairstevenson
The problem is not with the gmail, the problem is with any email
the DNS is 8.8.8.8
See the settings with yahoo
Be careful
when i connect the old router the hikvision sent emails, also the other 3 camera
with TP-LINK the hikvision don't sent emails, the other 3 comera sent!
It is tottaly crazy

I noticed that Gmail block if you send too many emails in short time.

With change language flag I mean use the Hiktools here in the forum and change the language flag of the firmware.

with ping I mean open CMD comand promt and do ping on the ip address of the camera while tftp is running. If after upload you loose the ping then you can try with a different firmware (language flag) You dont need to wait 30 min.

looking at getting one of these cameras V5.3.6, DS-2CD2135F-IS , am I able to downgrade to 5.2.5 so it will work on my NVR running 3.08?

 

[whoslooking]

The chances are it will be 5.38 or 5.40 if so the answer will be no.

 

[wozzzzza]

any way I can get another camera working on my 3.0.8 NVR??

Best solution is to update your NVR to v3.3.4 or v3.4.2 (I'm assuming you have a 76xxNI)

You haven't bought the camera yet? Just get a DS-2CD2132F-IS then.

they are end of line, the DS-2CD2135F-IS replaces the DS-2CD2132F-IS

No it doesn't. Just because the Chinese advert told you that doesn't mean it's true.

DS-2CD2135F-IS are Chinese models

DS-2CD2132F-IS can be either Chinese or International.

Even if it were end of line, which it isn't, it will work with your NVR. That's one reason to get it over the other irrespective.

I thought cameras with firmware 5.3.x wouldn't work on NVR's with 3.0.8?? am I wrong?

It'll come with 5.3.0 and if you get a Chinese one you'll be able to downgrade it to 5.2.5

That is the whole point of this thread!

whoslooking is talking about DS-2CD2135F-IS, I have no idea but trust whoslooking
I'm talking about DS-2CD2132F-IS which will come with v5.3.0 and will most probably work with your NVR
