I bought this specific model Mini Dome PTZ camera while visiting China. It has firmware version: V5.6.800 build 210628 I wonder is there a way to region hack this particular camera since hik-connect app won't allow me to add this camera due "language mismatch" It can be added with old...

Basically, I made the mistake of buying this "Security" system a while back, in which there is no way (to my knowledge) of connecting to the video streams of the cameras that came with the nvr, with a third party software like vlc, ispy, or blu iris. All I have been able to get out of them, with...

I've got what could be a rather large issue I recently discovered where not only do I not have Admin access to some of my Hikvision cams but I also have Chinese made cams. Huzzah! /sarcasm I stream them to various devices via Blue Iris software so admin access wasn't necessary until I...

Hi, TLDR; I have installed US firmware on CN hardware but unable to connect to EZVIZ service. I purchased a couple of C6TC (CS-C6TC-32WFR) IP cams from TaoBao in an attempt to save a few dollars. What I didn't realise was that the cameras are region locked and it requires a Chinese phone...

I just received a no-name Chinese surveillance camera as a gift. I am attaching pictures of the camera and the box it came in for reference. It "looks like" a Meisort IP20 360 but, as I said, it has no name. It looks like this (follow link)- Meisort IP20 1080P HD Wifi IP Camera wi-fi 360 Degree...

Hey everyone! I've been researching IP camera technology for a little while and decided to purchase equipment to build my own personal camera system (I have the items listed below). I can access my NVR from my home computer through the network with no issues, but the IP Cam is having some...

Hi all, I'm new here, I purchased a DS-2CD3132-I from ebay 2nd hand. I realised after purchasing it that it was not an official HikVision camera. Initially I thought it was a copy but after doing some reading up, I think its' a grey import from China. It's currently running V5.2.5 build...

In 2014, I bought my first 3 Hikvision cameras (DS-CD2132-I) from Amazon. Since then I've always purchased them through a distributor. I just added a new camera to this bunch and decided to upgrade the iVMS-4200 software and the camera firmware so that all could use hik-connect. The upgrade to...

Hi everyone, seems many of us all around the world star to love this cameras and their price until you find out they are regionally blocked. Thankfully there are so many people out there helping to solve this issues. So I just bought this camera, can anyone please help me pass the language...

I learned something new and totally unexpected from another member on the forum here, in that the Chinese pretty much halt or at least slow to a trickle all business commerce functions for up to a month during their New Year celebrations. We're right in the middle of it now, of course...

Hi, I have a DS-2CD3132F-IWS running firmware v5.2.5. I have found v5.2.5 does not support TLS email support which I need for gmail notifications. The language flag is set to 1 however the serial of the unit has CH in it. DS-2CD3132F-IWS20150805CCCH533****** I assume this camera takes an IPC...

I lost my connection to my Hikvision NVR since last weekend, exactly when the DDoS attack happened against DynDNS. Chinese camera vendors already admit their cams , NVRs were used for the attack. Does anyone having the same issue? My NVR looks like did not survive the CPU load they made on it...

Hello, I own a Chinese (CH in serial no) Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I camera, which came with firmware 5.2.8. Due to recent changes in gmail, I need to upgrade to newer firmware. I downloaded an European/international version, which of course didn't work, but thankfully, I found a Chinese 5.2.5...

Hi, I've got some DS-2CD2732I(S) cameras from AliExpress. Approx 1.5 years old. They came with EN firmware 5.1.6 at the time of purchase. What is the latest English/multi language firmware that can be installed on these cams? 5.2.8 or 5.3.0? I'm a bit lost in all the firmware threads, so I...

Hi guys, I bought a DS-2CD3410FD-IW and it comes with Chinese version of 5.3.0 Build 150327 I'm new to this. Could someone please write me a short guide of how to change the language to English? Thank you.

I tend to buy from China couple of these Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS cams. Two Chinese dealers said to me that there is installed "multi-language v5.2.5 firmware" which I presume to be china region model "prehacked" to "multi-language". Any idea can I upgrade to v5.3.0 without having to learn to...

Hi Folks, Okay, have been having a heck of a time with my DS-2CD3332-I. I foolishly modded the firmware and was stuck at 5.1.6. for a time. Finally with the TFTP tool from hikvison and scouring the forms, I been able to upgrade to V5.2.0 build 140721 where the camera was originally. Box was...

Hi All I am alexander from russia, i read some threads about 5.2.8 cameras problems like chineses language, day of week chinese, language mismatch with nvr. This problems can be solved by a hacked 5.2.5 firmware. you need to upgrade the 5.2.5 firmware by TFTP tools. The firmware was supplied...

This is not for the faint of heart, so you have been warned. The latest firmware, even if you install the English firmware on China region cameras will be all in Chinese with no option to change to English. If you follow the instructions, you can use 5.1.2 all in English including the day of...
