This has caused issues for friends with Raspberry Pis and PXE booting too.

Yep, got two cameras updated with that Python script and configured so far. I used the first newly flashed one to create a config file to use for the rest.

Huh, well, that worked! Too bad it wiped the prior configs entirely :) Note to self, cheapass consumer unmanaged switches are not useful for this purpose. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction!

I don't have a Hikvision NVR. The rest of my cameras are up on the house connected to a managed Aruba switch. I was using this one on the unmanaged switch to experiment with. But I think you're right about the switch being the issue. I just logged into the Aruba and toggled PoE on one of the...

I'm power-cycling the camera.

I have the camera and a PC plugged into the same isolated unmanaged switch. I'm using a PoE injector to power the camera. As I described in the original post here, the camera is making zero attempts to seek out a TFTP server. The pcap attached above shows that.

That would be great, I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

I have some LaView LV-PBK80804C cameras running firmware V5.5.3 build 171121 that I think are Hikvision DS-2CD2085FWD-I (see this thread). I've grabbed several Hikvision G1 firmware images and have been trying to get them to load via this Python script but the cameras aren't attempting to reach...

Nope, not yet :(

Hi there, I'm trying to find the Hikvision firmware for my LaView cameras. I found this thread which matched the LV-PBK80804 up with the Hikvision DS-2CD2085FWD-I, but the LV-PBK80804C version has no SD card slot (although there appear to be solder pads on the board for the SD card socket which...

Mine have a big gap. There's a rubber ring where the ball sits, but that seems like it's more to keep the ball from moving when the shroud is tightened down. Edit: Oh, I see what you mean. Yes the camera ball itself is waterproof, but I'm worried about stuff (rain, bugs, etc) blowing in...

Is there an adapter plate available that would let me mount a Hikvision turret camera to a standard 4" round box? I've found a few surface-mount round boxes designed specifically for the Hikvision turrets but I'd rather flush-mount them so they don't stick out further from the wall. Also, when...

Ugh. It's 2018, why is ActiveX still a thing? :/ So I guess there's also no way to get the motion detection zones set up using a browser in Linux either

I'm connecting to a Hikvision camera's web interface, trying both Firefox and Chromium in Ubuntu 18.04, but I can't get live video to show. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Amazon had it for $96.98 but I grabbed the last one in stock. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078H1S9WN/ I failed at checking the dimensions though, it's freaking HUGE. I'm probably going to return it. Instead I have a few of the Swann-branded Hikvision turrets on their way to me, their...
