Alastair, I have to say, my respect for you is immense. Four years ago (Oct 2018) I came to this forum to learn how to de-brick hikvision cameras, and back then you never failed to respond to each of my questions and provide guidance... I learned a lot from you about the process!! I think it...

I disassembled the camera that leaked. That black collar that covers the IR can be carefully removed, and gives access to four screws. Note, use a small screwdriver between the black collar and the white top base. The large top base is metal, and the bottom is plastic, so I'm thinking it was...

Craig Conrad: did you get warranty through B&H?

I have four of these... one under a large canopy roof had water get in... I'm really frustrated with this as two of them I bought as spares (I can't return them). I wonder how best to seal them better so they won't leak.

Thanks for that info. Hopefully someone else chimes in if the know then where you can get newer firmware for your specific model.

Hey Darren, I'm surprised. The PDF link I added to my previous post came from the EU site and is documentation specifically for V5.4.5 170519 (DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL) . Within that PDF it indicates this is firmware for ANPR cameras and the 5.4.5 170519 is compatible with DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS/P. Is...

I have two of these... DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS/P and DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS8/P. I've upgraded them to v5.4.5 build170914. (firmware is identical). You can get it here: Firmware and search for "DS-2CD4A26FWD". The firmware should be the same for yours, as the only option missing is "H" which is...

Sorry.. did you say iVMS-4200 works with the latest macOS "mojave"? I keep getting bugged to upgrade to Mojave on my mac, and my version 1.02.05.02 seems to run as 32 bit, which I thought would not work in Mojave (all 64bit?)? Has anyone confirmed if iVMS works in this new OS?

Hey Dennis, can you please provide hikvision's url for the V5.4.7 build 180611 firmware version? thanks. I bought a new DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS/P but the version is v5.4.5 build 170914. I'm also curious how much better the zoom is for yours with that lens. (I'm in Vancouver, and actually wanted an...

Alastairstevenson would be the "Yoda" to direct that question to :)

kindacute... I can share how I did it on my Hikvision camera: What helped me determine the connections: Hikvision - Clearing Passwords and/or Loading Firmware via TTL Serial The FTDI I used (serial to usb): FTDI Friend + extras (You can buy the cable versions too) Also I soldered the...

I searched the mtd6ro-orig file in HxD for the MAC and portions of (c4:2f:90:29:0a:9c) and couldn't find it. If it is there, it could be in hex as well. Given these devices are used on internal networks, If using that file forced it to adopt the MAC, it shouldn't hurt anything. btw, don't give...

Update! Sorry, I just noticed the serial of that camera I have is "518701055" so that does show up in that mtd6ro file. Lets see what Alastairstevenson says? The serial ni the mtd6ro file appears to be made from the manufacturer date plus serial number? Serial No in Hex Editor -...

Alastairstevenson can confirm but I didn't think the mtd6ro file changes serial number? gravykid, is your camera sourced from China (ie: with CCCH in the serial number)? I wonder if it did change the serial, if it would even matter.

Yes.... mtd6ro_mod HEX View I didn't circle the checksum numbers because it will be different for his (so as to not cause an issue :) ) Here is the mtd6ro_orig file from when I pulled it from mine. I zipped it in a directory: http://redhat.systems/hik/DS-2CD2532F-IWS.zip
