    Hikvision ERI-K216-P16 – Bound to Previous User, TFTP Update Fails

    Sorry, but I don't know. I'm guessing if it's bound using the serial number, nothing will change.

    New IPC-B74IR-Z4-AI issue, no picture

    I'd be tempted to open it up and see if the sensor ribbon cable is properly in place - I've seen that once on a Spares&Repairs camera off eBay - but opening it could have warranty consequences.

    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    It seems the forum has got some persistent gremlins with attachments just now. Did you zip up the file?

    Agreed, I realised that after I posted.

    Or the Chrome browser won't render the video, but is fine with the normal web GUI. Suggestion : Try MS Edge (most new IPC devices work OK with Edge now). Try Internet Explorer 11 - a search on here will a simple way to 'unhide' it.

    Hikvision ERI-K216-P16 – Bound to Previous User, TFTP Update Fails

    That's not a process failure - it's actually a comment by the tftp updater tool that it had received a probe for ArecontVision devices. This is something the NVR does on startup, and it uses a similar UDP probe to what the NVR uses looking for the tftp updater on bootup. There are a couple of...

    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    Sadly, no. That looks like the 'password reset request file' produced by SADP using the 'forgot password' link to send to Hikvision. What version of firmware does SADP show for the camera? If between 5.3.0 and 5.4.4 then this URL may pull a configuration file without requiring credentials.

    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    That's for the NVR? If so, it's likely that the NVR admin password will have been used to 'activate' the camera, on that version of firmware. If the camera is connecting OK, and the firmware is newer than 5.3.0 and older than 5.4.4 then the Hikvision backdoor vulnerability should be available to...

    T5442T-ZE replacement cable

    You might be lucky with the cable choices on AliExpress, maybe able to find one that has the same board connector as the original. I recently replaced a couple of Hikvision camera ethernet cables with ones bought on AliExpress that were the exact same as the original even down to the thread to...

    Are you sure that's a Hikvision camera? From the label? Or maybe just from SADP? I believe that apparent model number comes from a Xiongmai 'Hikserver' function in the non-Hikvision camera running Xiongmai firmware. If it really is Hikvision - try this : Set your PC IP address to be in the same...

    Hikvision NVR changes camera IP address when rebooted

    Do you mean it changes the camera IP address to be in the address range used by the NVR PoE ports, something like 192.168.254.x ? Is the associated NVR channel set to Manual mode instead of the default Plug&Play? That's usually needed when a camera is on the LAN as opposed to connected to an NVR...

    Request: SPI Flash BIOS Dump (Winbond 25Q128) for Dahua NVR4216-4KS2

    Are you doing an in-situ read with the NVR powered off? Or powered on? Do repeated reads give the exact same dump file?
