Alastair, I have to say, my respect for you is immense. Four years ago (Oct 2018) I came to this forum to learn how to de-brick hikvision cameras, and back then you never failed to respond to each of my questions and provide guidance... I learned a lot from you about the process!! I think it...

I disassembled the camera that leaked. That black collar that covers the IR can be carefully removed, and gives access to four screws. Note, use a small screwdriver between the black collar and the white top base. The large top base is metal, and the bottom is plastic, so I'm thinking it was...

Craig Conrad: did you get warranty through B&H?

I have four of these... one under a large canopy roof had water get in... I'm really frustrated with this as two of them I bought as spares (I can't return them). I wonder how best to seal them better so they won't leak.

Thanks for that info. Hopefully someone else chimes in if the know then where you can get newer firmware for your specific model.

Hey Darren, I'm surprised. The PDF link I added to my previous post came from the EU site and is documentation specifically for V5.4.5 170519 (DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL) . Within that PDF it indicates this is firmware for ANPR cameras and the 5.4.5 170519 is compatible with DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS/P. Is...

I have two of these... DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS/P and DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS8/P. I've upgraded them to v5.4.5 build170914. (firmware is identical). You can get it here: Firmware and search for "DS-2CD4A26FWD". The firmware should be the same for yours, as the only option missing is "H" which is...

Sorry.. did you say iVMS-4200 works with the latest macOS "mojave"? I keep getting bugged to upgrade to Mojave on my mac, and my version 1.02.05.02 seems to run as 32 bit, which I thought would not work in Mojave (all 64bit?)? Has anyone confirmed if iVMS works in this new OS?

Hey Dennis, can you please provide hikvision's url for the V5.4.7 build 180611 firmware version? thanks. I bought a new DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS/P but the version is v5.4.5 build 170914. I'm also curious how much better the zoom is for yours with that lens. (I'm in Vancouver, and actually wanted an...

Alastairstevenson would be the "Yoda" to direct that question to :)

kindacute... I can share how I did it on my Hikvision camera: What helped me determine the connections: Hikvision - Clearing Passwords and/or Loading Firmware via TTL Serial The FTDI I used (serial to usb): FTDI Friend + extras (You can buy the cable versions too) Also I soldered the...

I searched the mtd6ro-orig file in HxD for the MAC and portions of (c4:2f:90:29:0a:9c) and couldn't find it. If it is there, it could be in hex as well. Given these devices are used on internal networks, If using that file forced it to adopt the MAC, it shouldn't hurt anything. btw, don't give...

Update! Sorry, I just noticed the serial of that camera I have is "518701055" so that does show up in that mtd6ro file. Lets see what Alastairstevenson says? The serial ni the mtd6ro file appears to be made from the manufacturer date plus serial number? Serial No in Hex Editor -...

Alastairstevenson can confirm but I didn't think the mtd6ro file changes serial number? gravykid, is your camera sourced from China (ie: with CCCH in the serial number)? I wonder if it did change the serial, if it would even matter.

Yes.... mtd6ro_mod HEX View I didn't circle the checksum numbers because it will be different for his (so as to not cause an issue :) ) Here is the mtd6ro_orig file from when I pulled it from mine. I zipped it in a directory: http://redhat.systems/hik/DS-2CD2532F-IWS.zip

Here is the hex view of it: mtd6ro_orig HEX View The devtype 1498 did work as well without losing the wifi. ( I confirmed that part in this post from the original prthardinfo: Hikvision DS-2CD2x32-I (R0) brick-fix tool / full upgrade method / fixup roundup. )

I think I have a copy of the original mtd6ro_orig from my DS-2CD2532F-IWS if it helps. I wasn't sure if the mtd6ro_orig it was at first, but if you open it with notepad, it does have some readable text on the top "DS-2CD2532-IWS" at the top. View from notepad of mtd6ro_orig

Hey Dennis, can you please provide hikvision's url for the V5.4.7 build 180611 firmware version? I just picked up a DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZHS/P from a local dealer in Vancouver, BC and would like to update it (currently it has v5.4.5 build 170914). Also, I find the Hikvision site confusing... as it...

If you're talking for the serial connector in the cameras? The ones I've done were a four pin JST connector. I wasn't sure of the direction (it was hard to tell) but one of the outer most pins is a ground, and the two directly next to the ground are TX and RX. I used a multimeter to...

AH ok.. thanks.. so the "enhanced MTD hack" modifies the boot portion of the camera (that loads and checks the FW before loading). I love learning this stuff.. thank u!

That makes me wonder... does going through the console and forcing an update (pull a digicap.dav) via TFTP work successfully, if that digicap.dav is an english FW and the camera is china sourced and had previously chinese FW? All the ones I did (all successfully in the end ) were always the...

My guess would be somehow the first load got corrupt (using POE, which I ended up using the adapter in the end), and it couldn't start correctly and check for the firmware availability via TFTP in the first 10 seconds? I assume that is the normal behaviour that allows for FW to be uploaded...

Ok.. I got it.. FINALLY. I had to find a fw version that would load first .. and I think the one I used was 5.3.0(downgrader?)... and from that, I was able to use "update" from the serial connection for the first upload and from there everything worked. I saved the serial output of all the...

Here are some views I took to show the current behaviour of the camera: First 2min after power on - you can see for a few seconds, the 192.0.0.64 IP is pingable, but doesn't last long and the camera does not appear to make any TFTP handshakes. Also, not able to telnet to camera (since the...

If I recall correctly, it was successful transferring the file (using brickfixv2EN.dav copied to digicap.dav)... and then after the reboot to active it, I was never able to telnet in. If I set up pings to 192.0.0.64 as I reboot it, I only see about three successful pings.. and then it does not...

I gave it a shot on the DS-2CD2532F-ISW. I was able to do the first load using the hikvision tftp server and the brickfixV2EN copied to digicap.dav. It appeared successful.. when I rebooted the camera, I never got a telnet connection. I retried booting the camera a few times while pinging the...

Thank you.. This is some of the info I get from prtHardInfo: Model: DS-2CD2532F-IWS FW V5.3.0 build 150814 devType 0x9814 <---- So the one mentioned in the instructions looks correct then: devType Model 1498 DS-2CD2532F-IS

Any idea... I'm curious in the hex editor with the model DS-2CD2532-IWS if you can use the devtype as per the steps for model: devtype: 1498 Model: DS-2CD2532F-IS (since this devtype is missing the W-wireless)? Does that matter?

Thank you for all this info. I used the instructions on a DS-SCD2332-I that was sourced from China and to allow US firmware. While it wasn't a big problem I could not set the camera as HIKVISION when adding it to my NVR, but had to set it as ONVIF. Once using these instructions I was able to...
