.... And there we go. I was wondering when the ad hominem attacks would start. Now I'm a crybaby and my manhood is being attacked. 10-4, good buddy, I'm ejecting out of this thread. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work.

So, in the one hand you're saying every couple of hours someone else is dealing with this issue, but then you say it's me and my research that's to blame? Yes, again, I messed up. I don't know how else to put it so that you (and others) will stop focusing on my mistake. No one's arguing that...

Bingo. This is exactly my point. It's happening over and over again, to all kinds of people. To me, that says it's not so much the people and their ability to research, as it is the poor design and business decisions to create these cross-region incompatibilities, the lack of built-in...

Sigh. Ok, let's do this. Let's look at the last 3 versions officially available from Hikvision USA or Europe (5.1.2, 5.2.0, 5.2.3). Performance improvements include: Optimization of night image effect Add sub-stream resolution of QVGA Added the unit display of XY coordinates for people...

Not exactly. There are numerous threads on several of these sites (cctv, cam-it, ipcamtalk, etc) where people discuss Hikvision's ease of upgrade process. And there absolutely may be good reason to upgrade the firmware on a functional camera. Just reading through the release notes of the last...

Ok, thanks for your replies. What's really frustrating about all of this is that I specifically bought Hikvision over other brands because of the supposed ease of firmware upgrades. If this is considered easy, then I shudder to think what it's like for the other brands. Because this has been...

Yep. Like I said... I screwed up. But, be that as it may, the fact that downloading the latest firmware directly off of Hikvision's site bricks my camera is really poor. I understand that there are separate versions depending on the country, but the fact that you can so easily turn your...

Thanks. I just installed that using the TFTP Auto Updater tool, and that got me closer. But now my Hikvision NVR reports this camera as "Language Mismatch", and I can't view it. Any ideas?

Any update to this? I'm having the same problem and need the 5.2.5 firmware, but I don't see it anywhere. There's lots of people talking about how great it works, but zero working links to download the firmware. I don't even care if it's in Chinese, I just want my brand new, bricked...

So I just bought a DS-2CD2032-I off Amazon, it came from China. It arrived in a brown box, manual in chinese, etc. The firmware on the sticker on the camera itself reads "v5.2.8 141231". I plugged it into my Hikvision DVR (DS-7608NI-SE/8P), and it worked fine. So, like an idiot, I...
