    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    The camera configuration file decrypted OK, see the direct message for the camera admin password that with luck is the same as the NVR admin password.

    Hikvision ERI-K216-P16 – Bound to Previous User, TFTP Update Fails

    Sorry, but I don't know. I'm guessing if it's bound using the serial number, nothing will change.

    New IPC-B74IR-Z4-AI issue, no picture

    I'd be tempted to open it up and see if the sensor ribbon cable is properly in place - I've seen that once on a Spares&Repairs camera off eBay - but opening it could have warranty consequences.

    Agreed, I realised that after I posted.

    Or the Chrome browser won't render the video, but is fine with the normal web GUI. Suggestion : Try MS Edge (most new IPC devices work OK with Edge now). Try Internet Explorer 11 - a search on here will a simple way to 'unhide' it.

    Hikvision ERI-K216-P16 – Bound to Previous User, TFTP Update Fails

    That's not a process failure - it's actually a comment by the tftp updater tool that it had received a probe for ArecontVision devices. This is something the NVR does on startup, and it uses a similar UDP probe to what the NVR uses looking for the tftp updater on bootup. There are a couple of...

    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    Sadly, no. That looks like the 'password reset request file' produced by SADP using the 'forgot password' link to send to Hikvision. What version of firmware does SADP show for the camera? If between 5.3.0 and 5.4.4 then this URL may pull a configuration file without requiring credentials.

    Hikvision password reset tool returns "device refused to process"

    That's for the NVR? If so, it's likely that the NVR admin password will have been used to 'activate' the camera, on that version of firmware. If the camera is connecting OK, and the firmware is newer than 5.3.0 and older than 5.4.4 then the Hikvision backdoor vulnerability should be available to...

    T5442T-ZE replacement cable

    You might be lucky with the cable choices on AliExpress, maybe able to find one that has the same board connector as the original. I recently replaced a couple of Hikvision camera ethernet cables with ones bought on AliExpress that were the exact same as the original even down to the thread to...

    Are you sure that's a Hikvision camera? From the label? Or maybe just from SADP? I believe that apparent model number comes from a Xiongmai 'Hikserver' function in the non-Hikvision camera running Xiongmai firmware. If it really is Hikvision - try this : Set your PC IP address to be in the same...

    Hikvision NVR changes camera IP address when rebooted

    Do you mean it changes the camera IP address to be in the address range used by the NVR PoE ports, something like 192.168.254.x ? Is the associated NVR channel set to Manual mode instead of the default Plug&Play? That's usually needed when a camera is on the LAN as opposed to connected to an NVR...

    Request: SPI Flash BIOS Dump (Winbond 25Q128) for Dahua NVR4216-4KS2

    Are you doing an in-situ read with the NVR powered off? Or powered on? Do repeated reads give the exact same dump file?

    Hikvision Emergency Firmware Recovery TFTP (2024)

    Dumb question - Hikvision devices probe for the tftp updater tool during the power-on process, well before they have booted up far enough for SADP to find them. Have you power-cycled the DVR while the tftp updater is running?

    Hikvision KD8003 not visible in SADP when connected to NVR

    A Plug&Play connected camera on the NVR PoE ports would usually have the gateway set the same as that set for the NVR LAN interface. Strictly, 0.0.0.0 is an invalid value. Suggestion - set the KD8003 gateway to be that of the NVR PoE interface base address, usually 192.168.254.1 Then try the...

    Hikvision KD8003 not visible in SADP when connected to NVR

    OK, suggestion to try : Pick the NVR PoE port you want to connect the camera to. In the NVR web GUI, note down the IP address associated with that port. It's probably something like 192.168.254.x With the camera powered up and connected to the LAN, and using the known admin password, use SADP to...

    Hikvision KD8003 not visible in SADP when connected to NVR

    That's a little odd. Normally all the Hikvision-compatible devices on the NVR PoE ports would be seen by SADP.

    Hikvision KD8003 not visible in SADP when connected to NVR

    The NVR PoE ports use a different network segment from than of the NVR LAN port, and by default they are not accessible from LAN devices. That is by design. An option might be to have the KD8003 connected to the LAN and to configure one of the NVR PoE ports to manual instead of Plug&Play and...

    Hikvision DS-7608NXI

    A slight long shot - but what browser are you using? That can make a difference in what can be configured in the NVR and camera web GUI. If it's purely Edge, try enabling 'Internet Explorer mode' in the settings. If you've already done that , try with native Internet Explorer for the browser...

    Hikvision NVR7208-12/P8 Firmware Required

    I've seen some instability with firmware NVR_K51_BL_ML_STD_V4.61.010_220527 on a DS-7608NI-I2/8P and I think there has also been mention of that a couple of years ago on here. The NVR tended to freeze or reboot when configuration changes were made. Via the serial console, I downgraded the...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2x32-I (R0) brick-fix tool / full upgrade method / fixup roundup.

    Check if the tftp updater is still probed at power-on. Check if telnet is still accessible. Best arrangement is power with 12v and both PC and camera on their own switch ports.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2x32-I (R0) brick-fix tool / full upgrade method / fixup roundup.

    You can't convert the camera to EN and get it to accept the EN firmware without changing the language byte in the flash partition and adjusting the checksum bytes. It does look like ChatGPT has misled you again. Check the step by step instructions in the first post.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2x32-I (R0) brick-fix tool / full upgrade method / fixup roundup.

    No, the next step was to follow the instructions to edit the flash partition to change the region from CN to EN. After that you can update with the international firmware. It seems that ChapGPT has misled you on the needed steps. Check the instructions on the first post, and also the YouTube video.

    Alternative way of recovering HikVision NVR password

    The 'trojan horse method' of finding an NVR admin password depends on the fact that apart from the later versions of NVR firmware, it was the NVR admin password that was used to 'activate' an 'inactive' camera when first plugged in to an NVR PoE port. And then the backdoor vulnerability of...
