Thanks Alastair.
I did notice the discrepancy between the build dates and the version numbers. Tried to research which is the ‘latest’ and found debate without any definitive answer. Decided to go to V5.4.5 as I could find release notes for it and the US HiKvision portal list it as the latest...

GUI would not let me enter the path manually or browse to the .dav file. Using Chrome on window 10.
Tried using your tools to load V5.4.41 and that failed too.
Went back to V5.4.0 to get camera running again.
Not sure what...

Was thinking I would need to replace the cameras till I discovered this...
