    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    I have already learned a lot. I bought two of these cameras at the same time and the working one has CCCH in the firmware string. I now know what that means and wish I had known it sooner. Anyway, I ordered all the bits to make the cable and will post to new thread in a few weeks if I have...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    I don't have a TTL to USB, at least not one I can butcher. I think it's worth investing in one though. I have been trying Wireshark to capture any traffic and I get nothing.
