Hello All Due to a change in personal circumstances I'll shortly be discontinuing providing patched language firmware solutions. I did consider making that effective immediately but as I've been contacted by a number of people who wanted to check I had a solution available before they made a...

Hi All Unfortunately due to the actions of a forum member who is deliberately inciting people to be dishonest and steal my work I am no longer able to offer permanent region change for devices...

One of the reasons I left the cctvforum site was because they (without warning or notification) deleted all the feedback people had spent their own time to leave for my region code change solution. Fortunately a friend alerted me to this and I rescued the pages from Google cache. With kind...

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...

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)...

Salut friends. Raptor 2xxx 5.2.3 on our favourite Hikvision FTP site. ftp://ftp.hikvisionusa.com/Hikvision_IP_Camera_Firmware/Raptor_2xxx_Series/DS-2CD24x2&25x2_WiFi_Camera_Firmware_v5.2.3_141024.zip Labelled for Wifi only it works fine on my 2032 and 2732 OK. Obvious changes are: -...

Hola folks New firmware for DS-2CD24x2&25x2 WiFi Cameras on the FTP site. Don't have one of these cameras, but having looked in the code I can't see any reason why this would have any issues with my Chinese to International region change program.

Hi folks As a few of you know, I am now providing a service to permanently change the factory region code of Hikvision NVRs from Chinese to International. This is in addition to the Raptor 2, Raptor 4, Raptor 6 series (& other types) region changes I already help people with...

Hello everyone Understandably there's some dissatisfaction due to the manufacturer removing or downgrading some features of 5.2.0 - and not even documenting them. Worse, you can't even go back to an earlier version if you want to (though TFTP works for now). This is for Raptor Series 2 only...

Looks like 5.2.0 has hit the FTP site. ftp://ftp.hikvisionusa.com/ Obvious changes include: - Multi languages are back (if the camera is EN region)! - Cloud service support - SSH daemon - No face detection - "Dual-VCA which can be used cooperatively with NVR to implement dual-VCA retrieval...

Hello All If you have been locked out of your Hikvision device, an unlock code can be used to reset the admin password. You can email Hikvision for this code for free, though there might be reasons why you might wish to purchase one from me: - Hikvision do not respond - Hikvision...

Hey folks I've been working a solution to change your camera from Chinese region to English region. This should permantently resolve the issue of language and being able to flash English region firmware. There is a small charge to fund my dev work, and unless I'm wrong, I don't think I am...

Hi All From this point forward I am no longer providing solutions for Hikvision products. My forum PMs and associated mail address should be considered to be unmonitored. I've had a few issues with people making silly claims about me or even pretending to be me (email addresses 1 letter...

Hi All Been doing some work on creating custom firmware for my Hikvision cameras, and have to say though hard it was pretty interesting and rewarding. Didn't get much sleep as was thinking about how to do it. But then I like that sort of thing cos I'm a geek with no life (or job) I'm sure...
