I found your old discussion on this topic and I'm intrigued. Especially since you experimented with this same model of camera. Is there anything you'd recommend I try for getting a different firmware on there before calling it quits. I just hate that the camera works great once activated, but if...

Replaced battery and went through activation again, unplugged power, and booted back up only to be greeted with activation. Sadness.

Battery voltage is 2.58 which technically is within the "stable operating voltage" for this battery (FDK ML614R) but it is also technically a 3V battery and it's possible that the circuit requires a higher battery voltage to maintain the settings. I'm going to look for a replacement and see if...

Yeah, a totally reasonable question to ask. I'm doing a little more probing today on the board to look for any other visible signs of damage - I'm no expert though. The replacement blown capacitor allowed it to boot normally and last night I was able to load a newer Chinese firmware on it...

I don't know if you ever found what you were looking for, but the firmware version you're listing doesn't appear to be made for the model you listed. I might be wrong, but maybe the sticker is incorrect. Anyway, I just downloaded and used the 5.5.88_200610 for a "2CD2" cam. You've got a "2CD1"...

Interesting turn of events here...I'm now able to reconnect to the web UI. Nothing I throw at it from brickfix appears to be "taking" unfortunately. Web UI is showing the following specifications Equipment model DS-2CD2335-I Equipment serial number DS-2CD2335-I20151117AACH553703705 Main control...

I came across the python3 branch of the script and was able to host and send the file to the camera but both the EN and CN versions of the brickfix digicap unfortunately never booted up with telnet access. Wed Aug 23 16:02:44 2023: 12642 / 12642...

Hello all, I just replaced a blown capacitor on an old DS-2CD2335-I and it powered right up and I re-activated it and successfully got to the admin page. In a complete lapse of judgement I flashed the wrong firmware onto it and now it sits repaired, yet bricked on my repair bench. I've attempted...

Hi all, here are my findings with recent firmware versions on the IPC-HDW4831EM-ASE. I was previously running V2.800.0000008.0.R.190619 without any issue but decided to try out the latest available (V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605) based on the seeming urgency of the mysterious "security patches."...

I'll throw in a "me too" for V2.800.0000002.0.R. I've got a 5831 I just received that shipped with the January firmware and it's working wonderfully for me in these short two weeks I've had it connected. Has there been any recent news about the "V2.800.0000002.0.R, Build Date: 2019-01-11"...

Works great on my new IPC-HDW4831EM-ASE

I appreciate your feedback even though we're misunderstanding each other. I will continue researching BI and what it does and doesn't benefit from hardware-wise. For clarification, I'm talking about the CPU as a chip, the piece of hardware on the motherboard. Quick Sync is on that chip, the CPU...

Which is a dedicated core on the CPU. Sorry, I'm not trying to argue details...just trying to get clarity on BI using CPU as the primary (I count CPU with HD accelerated integrated graphics processing as "CPU") resource. Coming from another direction, I suppose I should have asked more about the...

Quick Sync is a feature of the CPU though, so wouldn't that be in agreement with what I asked?

Well, I am a little relieved to hear that it's not a normal issue. Honestly, I can't recall my 2335 ever locking up like that. I know for a fact that my 2332's have a longstanding reputation with this issue. My three Hik's do not have any scheduled restart options or I would have set that up...
