Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
Apologies - I understood that from your previous posts. My language was regrettably imprecise. So even if the FW apparently "updates" successfully, as in my case, I could have an as yet unnotified language mismatch? European FW to a camera that thinks it is "Other/unspecified" region, but is...- Aspiring Geek

Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
Alastair, Firstly, I really do appreciate your attention to my issue - and my learning process, albeit via baby steps. I now have a camera with (apparently) successfully installed European firmware V5.3.0 build 150513. I now have no idea what the serial number is given corruption of the...- Aspiring Geek

Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
OK folks. With reference to my bricked DS-2CD3132F-IWS I now understand that the RR in my "new" serial number is a region code meaning "Other/unspecified". I don't understand how my original serial code (indicating a Chinese cam - see above) became a different one). I now also understand the...- Aspiring Geek

Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
Alastair, Thank you for you patience - to me and others over an extended period! I now understand the IP "flipping" process. I have attempted installation of the CN firmware V5.3.0 obtained from the Hikvision site you provided the link for. The process kicked off in tftp server, as expected...- Aspiring Geek

Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
Nevertheless tried PC on 192.0.0.128 with cam on 192.168.1.64, to no avail. Log: [2017-04-17 23:11:16] TFTP server[192.0.0.128] initialized I must have to get the cam's IP address back to 192.0.0.64 somehow - without the SADP Tool which doesn't work, as outlined in previous post?- Aspiring Geek

Ok, but the camera IP had flipped from what it originally was to 192.168.1.64. I thought the camera had to be on the same sub-net as the PC running the tftp server? Ergo, I went for 192.168.1.128 for the PC- Aspiring Geek

Gentlemen/Ladies, I have a "Hikvision" DS-2CD3132f-IWS, purchased in the grey market before I even knew there was such a thing. Firmware 5.2.5 build 141201 (English). No issues with functionality (at a high level), but I became frustrated with inability to view the Cam in Chrome because...- Aspiring Geek
