I suspect it isn't a language issue, davinci never even gets to the point of running the services for webgui (or anything else for that matter). One of the clear differentiators between the working cameras and the dead one is the amount of ram davinci uses. On functional cameras it sits around...

Interesting, running the t1 application and fumbling through unknown menus, I got the following: # t1 ************************************************** * HIKVISION IPC ▒▒▒▒▒▒Գ▒▒▒ * ************************************************** BUILD: Jun 13 2014-13:18:18 T1...

Gone back to 5.2.0 firmware again, as 5.3.0 was more restrictive. Does anyone know what the t1 utility on the camera does? It appears to be some sort of testing software, but putty doesn't handle chinese fonts at all well, so I have no idea what the tests actually do. Anyone care to investigate?

No luck with the chinese firmware, it wouldn't even load successfully, so I'm guessing its failing a checksum somewhere instead. Loading EN firmware works perfectly however. Going to try the earliest version of firmware I can find to see if it will give me further debug information.

Usually on bootup the camera will initialize IPv6 and start sending Neighbor Advertisement requests on broadcast across the local network. Good thing about this is you can see them in Wireshark, and from there you can try SSH or telnet to get into the device. Instead of putting in the IP, put in...

I'll give the chinese firmwares a run in a few hours to see if it gets anything out of the camera. Sadly I'm not holding particularly high hopes, and without some sort of more detailed error messages from the unit as to why it just stops, I'm a bit stuck for what else to do...

Ok, loaded 5.3.0 on, which seems to have a different way of launching davinci. The password in this case is not even set, but you do need to wait a little bit before connecting using SSH or it will insist the password is incorrect (even when it isn't). Needed to hack the startup script to get...

Output from dmesg: Output from /proc/kmsg Both of which are near identical (not surprising really) netstat... # netstat -ntla Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22...

I'll see what I can get from /proc/kmsg, but as I recall it was nothing spectacular. I compared it to a functional camera and saw no different or additional messages anywhere in the bootup. SADP won't detect the camera, and I did use iptables -F, as well as modifying the initrun.sh script to...

Tried TFTPing the baseline 5.2.0, 5.2.5 and 5.3.0 to it, but all gave the same result. While the flash would complete successfully, the bootup wouldn't initialise davinci completely. 5.3.0 was the first to enforce some form of password other than 12345 on SSH, which limited what I could extract...

Hey everyone, Bit of a long shot, but as Hikvision support have been monumentally unhelpful despite having non grey-import cameras, figured I might try my luck here. I have a DS-2CD2132F-I camera that fails to boot properly. Running 5.2.0 firmware, the unit boots linux ok but won't start the...

Slightly crazy option, but maybe try connecting via IPv6 to SSH. The firewalls for IPv4 and IPv6 are separate, so you might not be locked out on IPv6.
