Yes it went from inactive to active. Well bad news now. I tried to do that with the other model they disappeared and then reappeared. Now one of the lv pb304 models stopped show because its taking the same ip as the other model.

So laview was not helpful with that but i have some success today. The firmware you just posted, worked for some reason i can see 2 cameras. The other two cameras for 5.4.5 i tried to do that and one of them now isnt being shown on the nvr so im trying to figure out how to get it show in sadp...

Well looks like it reached system update for those two cameras on tftp but the firmware is still at 4.0....

No i havent. I just tried the firmware on all. So what do you suggest? Unplug the other two cameras from the nvr and then download this firmware and try it?

Also the Hikvision password reset tool didnt work. I get “unable to connect to the remote server” when i use the program as well.

Ok so this is the latest update: For some reason, 2 of the cameras which are bringing up the default password firmware when i hit forgot password seemed to have downgraded to 4.0.8 The other 2 on 5.4.5 i can export a xml file.

Im not sure. I keep trying that tftp and i got this

Well this is the issue. The nvr will say "detecting" and nothing never happens on that camera. As for the other cameras, it takes almost 10 minutes before they actually show if you shut down and restart the nvr. Should I restore the nvr to factory again? Would that help?

I tried all 4 cameras via plugged into the NVR with the TFTP first, then I tried your method and unscrewed one camera, and put it to the switch with the 12v adapter. I believe thats the camera not showing. Do I need to unplug it and replug it again from outside?

Sadp is only showing 5 cameras and the issue now is when i go to forgot password, only one of them is letting me export the xml code. The rest are showing enter default password and when i put 000000 it says password recovered and does the same thing. They actually will reset it if i export...

I think something messed up big time now. I managed to get in touch with laview but now i am not seeing one of the cameras after unhooking it and trying that other firmware with a switch. And its taking a very long time now for the nvr to detect the other cameras. Did using trfp brick my cameras?

So you suggest using another firmware? And if it fails, contact them with the xml files forgetting a password?

It keeps showing active on sadp

Ok so i took one of the cameras out and connected it (to a 12v and ethernet adapter) and the pc to a switch then ran TFTP. This was the result. Am i missing a step?

So is there a way to bypass the 12v adapter? I would have to unscrew each camera and bring them into the house? I do have a netgear gs108 switch (actually 8 ports).
