And so, I desoldered the TSOP from my Chinese camera and duplicated the firmware to my English hack camera, then soldered both chips back on. Argh! The Chinese camera still works fine, but the English one did NOT become Chinese, rather it pretended to have firmware 4.03 and I can't get into it...

Well, my R6 cameras are 2CD6414FWD-C1 bodies with interchangeable camera heads, and I just want to upgrade those containing hacked-English 5.4.5 firmware, from another one containing native-Chinese 5.5.0, so I probably don't need to overwrite any "sensitive data" areas since all cameras should...

So if I log into my Chinese camera via RS232 console in debug mode, then will I be able to suck the firmware out and then program it into an identical second camera which is currently running an old English hacked firmware? Or is would it be easier to desolder the TSOP, read it out and then...

Did this work out? I'd like one too please.

By George I've got it! Could it be that HikVision was forced to remove the "language mishmatch" feature by the Onvif consortium? After all, if you're gonna display the Onvif logo, you had better be Onvif compliant!

<edit> Well, my English Dahua DHI-NVR4208-4KS2 is able to connect with all of my HikVision cameras via Onvif. Motion Detection and Alarm Inputs work on all of them and Tampering works on some. All have very recent FW. If I configure the cameras to set Alarm-Relay upon Line Crossing or Intrusion...

Yeah, that and Google Translate. I do occasionally question my sanity. On some level it's a "loss of control" type fear response. Outside of that, I do like to be able to see a linear view of all configuration options as in my original post above.

I just checked the ONVIF output of my DS-2CD2412F-IW camera running latest Chinese firmware which is a more recent build then the US/World firmware. The camera does indeed send ONVIF events for features including intrusion, tampering, relay input, motion etc. The only event it does not send is...

Here is the full English-Chinese translation of firmware V5.4.41 for DS-2CD2412F-IW if it will help anyone. Note there is likely some word-wrap happening as you view it. The structure is same as the menus themselves. I use this to keep track of my camera configs...

Am I correctly understanding from the above that English NVR firmware 3.4.9X does work with both pure English and pure Chinese Hikki cameras, so long as ONVIF protocol is used? If yes, then would someone know whether relay I/O from the cameras can flow through to the NVR via ONVIF? I actually...

I'll be more than happy to PayPal someone for Chinese firmware v5.4.5 build 170210 for R6 platform (2X22FWD/2X42FWD/2X52) if someone can get it for me from HikVision in China... I can't communicate in Chinese so my attempts would be futile.

Just to finish this up, I've loaded Chinese firmware onto my DS-7108N-SN which originally came with hacked English firmware: Serial No: DS-7108N-SN0820170302AARR725570076WCVU Original Hacked Firmware Version: V3.0.13 build 150503 Original Hacked Encoding Version: V5.0 build 150413 Original...

My DVR and other cameras are in Chinese, so I need this one in Chinese too, to match the language. Right now it's got 5.4.5 hacked English, but the sticker on rear says it was originally 5.4.5 Chinese. Hence bootloader should be same and aught not to brick?

That site is several versions behind in releases. For instance the 2002 platform is on v5.4.5 in USA, but only 5.3.0 is available at the above link. I need to flash my Chinese camera from AliExpress hacked English, back to the original Chinese v5.4.5 build 170210 which is nowhere to be found.

The Chinese firemware download site is super stale: 海康威视是以视频为核心的物联网解决方案和数据运营服务提供商，面向全球提供安防、可视化管理与大数据服务。 Where does one go to download current Chinese firmware?

Hmm, digging through the manuals, it seems the SL model is missing the Alarm function. I have not found any other difference. Awaiting arrival of my DS-7104N-SN, Chinese firmware downloaded and ready in hand! Thanks guys for your helpful insights!

Regarding the general lack of native IVS/VCA support in NVR's ...the penny has dropped during my drive home today: NVR would first have to decompress the H26x stream before performing analasses! That's one more step than what an analog-input DVR needs to do, and a particularly onerous one given...

Wow, thanks! And jeepers, if IVS has to run on the cameras then is it really a feature or just a convenience? I'm not a creature of convenience AND I take cold showers, so I should be able to accomplish IVS functionality even on an NVR108 (save myself some watts), so long as I program IVS...

Wanting to bye a good English language NVR fer use with my Chinese-firmware HikVision cameras and misc English-firmware cameras. That clearly rules out HikVision NVR and leaves me pining for NVR4208-4KS2 ...I think. I'd like to ask a couple of questions if I may... - 4208 datasheet says IVS...

Both my PC and my Android phone fail to connect properly to my DS-2CD2412F-IW firmware 5.3.0 camera in "Ad-Hoc" mode, and yet the camera connects just to fine in "Manage" mode to my router. Is this a bug or perhaps special tricks needed? I tried static IP's on both camera and phone but no joy...

Chrome does a translation so many of the settings and menus are out of context or remain in Chinese. The document I uploaded contains the correct English strings from the English language camera. (Note: I've just updated the file to correct all the non-camera strings and cleaned it up a bit.)

I have the DS-2CD2412F-IW version 5.3.0 and needed to create desktop shortcuts which show the snapshot and play the stream without the need to log in. Below is my solution in case anyone finds it useful: THE NORMAL URL's ARE AS FOLLOWS...

I tried in IE and FireFox but it errored out with "Error Loading document[object Object]" so I gave up and translated instead.

The attached file is for English users of Chinese camera DS-2CD2412F-IW. With this translation reference you can operate and configure the camera. Open with MS Notepad.exe and select font "Lucida Console" 12pt UniCode. UPDATED!
