    Use TFTP - it's probably a regional restriction issue.

    Failed firmware upgrade - Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS

    If you are sure it's 5.2.5 (not earlier versions) and you haven't done anything weird to the camera I've no idea.

    Yes - multiple times. Mostly I got alerted by a fellow forum user that suddenly things had gone missing - including on one occasion advice that might stop people bricking their cameras. No contact with any admin/mods unless I initiated it.

    Hikvision and logcurfile.bin

    If this was a normal linux server you could consider either a caching daemon, or even redirecting the logfile with a symlink to the file on a ram disk (it the file is expendable/you put in place a way to make it survive a server crash). I've no idea about this NAS product so can't provide...

    Well you might say that but I couldn't possibly comment :P I tried everything I could but there didn't seem to be an appetite for a solution of any kind at all (even when I asked for account deletion). Bless them :P It does make me appreciate the hospitality here though with reasonable...

    After a long chat with the forum owner (a very nice chap), I've decided to delete (update: not use) my account on cctvforum After some of my threads vanished I contacted them and it emerged I'd inadvertently caused distress to the admins, so I apologized and made this post to indicate people...

    Raptor 2 5.2.5 Region Change

    Due to the manufacturers policy of not providing full version notes (if any at all) it's hard to know beyond simply looking at web pages. That's not a very good way to spot changes that are not very obvious. 5.2.5 does support newer models that the manufacturer has released though (e.g. the...

    Raptor 2 5.2.5 Region Change

    Hi All I've been getting a fair few emails about recent issues with Hikvision cameras imported from China. a) Some newly released models with internal microphones seem to have a sound problem b) Firmware version provided on the cameras is earlier than the version stated on the label c)...

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    Hi, Yes my region change solution would resolve the Chinese language issue, the day of the week issue, and the iVMS error. Also you probably won't be able to use an International region NVR with Chinese region cameras, which region change would also resolve.

    Hikvision Multi-language Version V5.2.5 DS-2CD2032-I

    I would not recommend putting any version less than 5.2.5 on a camera that has a label stating it left the factory with 5.2.5. This is the case even if the camera is supplied with a version less than 5.2.5 I'm not able to provide further information regarding this so feel free to ignore my...

    Hikvision -Model DS-2CD2132F-IS -

    No - it means your camera is Chinese region but has hacked language files. But it's not a very good hack because the OSD day of the week will be Chinese, will only accept Chinese firmware upgrades and not work with devices (e.g. NVRs) or programs (e.g. iVMS) that are International region. It...

    How to hack 5.1.2 firmware on China region cameras to English

    No. I am saying Hikvision IPC and Hikvision NVR needs to be same region (International region or Chinese region). If they are different regions they usually will not talk to each other. Also, if they are Chinese region usually English is not present. Hacks or region change can overcome these...

    How to hack 5.1.2 firmware on China region cameras to English

    They do make International and Chinese versions of firmware, but in practice this tends to be the same file with a regional restriction set. The cameras are also made with regional restriction (but are the same physically). Regional restriction tends to mean incompatibility with devices from a...

    5.2.0 Patch

    Hi there I don't patch for NAS. I've always found that one share per camera, and IMPORTANTLY the share is the only thing on the server partition it lives in is 100% stable.

    Thanks for your kind words :) I really am unemployed, but I don't claim UK benefits. I was a linux systems administrator for almost 20 years, but got made redundant 3 years ago. I have personal health issues that make a normal office 9-5 next to impossible. I try to take a stance of what is...
