I wasn't planning to - unless I've exhausted every option with this camera..... What do you suggest i do with this camera once it's hooked up? Are you thinking firmware hacks or updates to it?

Yes to all of these. I have all these bits and pieces.

Yes it is still in Manual mode, not Plug N PLay. But the Management Port, Channel No., and Transfer Protocol fields are all Greyed out. I managed to get the Management Port set to 8000 by changing the Protocol field to HikVision, then all the fields become changeable - then change the Management...

Ok - so I can do this and get onto the Camera login (in chinese as predicted). The IP address matches on the NVR GUI. But - what about the "Management Port"? It is coming up as 0 in the NVR GUI now. And the strange thing is that I can't seem to change it through the Modify section on the Camera...

Yep - Camera IP matches in SADP and in the NVR GUI Camera Management page. "Network Abnormal" :(

No dice - it states "Offline (Network Abnormal)" under the Status field in the Camera settings, and no live feed.

Yup - It still comes up with 'Language mismatch'

I love a challenge, so I'm up for tampering with it. The way I figure, its not working now so it can only get better from here! The CCTV is working on the other 3 for now, so no issue there. The camera is plugged in, but easy enough to pull out and apart again. I was thinking of trying another...

Camera 1 : DS-2CD2345-I20170320AAWR730894444 Camera 2 : DS-2CD2345-120170320AACH730894594 (not working - this is the camera that I attempted multiple firmware changes to) Camera 3 : DS-2CD2345-I20170320AAWR730894445 Camera 4 : DS-2CD2345-I20170320AAWR730894595 The camera (2) looks identical to...

DS-2CD2345-120170320AACH730894594 is the one that isn't working (and its the one I played with the firmware on)

One of the working camera's serial numbers is : DS-2CD2345-I20170320AAWR730894444 So no CCCH.

Hi Alastair, So after a bit more mucking around - reverting to the old password, then plugging in each camera - I have got it working. I have also now been able to change the Password and it has pushed the new Password to the camera's. Success! That is, all except for the 1 camera that I...

crumbs - I seem to have a problem with this. I don't know which camera was in each port and now they won't work. I've tried plugging one camera in at a time, moving it across each of the 4 ports. It comes up with "Detecting" in the Camera Menu, but then after 20 sec or so it comes up with a...

You are a champion! That's it. Thanks for your help on this. Now to plug it in and see if I can get all the cameras to reset as well.

It looks like it all worked - here are the files (attached). FINGERS CROSSED!
