2CD2032 Firmware ... current web location?

[strathglass]

I've seen various URLs here but none of them are current it seems:
I need a link to get the DS-2CD2032-I firmware (WR in serial number, not CH).

I think my current version 5.1.2 build 140116 f/w is not the latest, but that camera is working and an older one with 5.02 130805 firmware cannot be made to enable live view! So I want to at least upgrade to 5.1.2.

I have found a European portal at this URL, but can't find any folder for 2CD2032 cameras: European Portal

Can anyone advise?

PS: Here is what I see on the portal:

The DS-2CD2032-I is an R0 series camera, so the "R0 platform 2xx2" folder is the one you need.
But there is a potential problem when you have very old firmware.
The EU portal has been re-arranged and now only publishes backdoor-fixed firmware, so 5.4.40 is the oldest.
And it's best to update through the major revisions - Hikvision advise that, and not doing that can be troublesome.
The Hikvision USA is slow to change and still has the 5.3.0 version - grab it while you can. Value Series
And check out this warning on that site :

Warning: Firmware upgrades must be done in ascending order and cannot skip versions. Example: Upgrade firmware v5.2.0 to v5.3.0, then v5.4.0. Not v5.2.0 directly to v5.4.0.

Thanks ... The problem is I need also 5.1 and 5.2 ... or else what are the odds that an attempt to go from 5.0.2 to 5.3.0 will go smoothly without problems?

Anyone know where 2CD2x32 f/w versions 5.1 and 5.2 can be had?

Here is a source : ftp://ftp.hikvision.ru/02.%202-line%20cameras/R0%20platform%20-%20DS-2CD2XX2/

Hey thanks very much Alistair, who knew ... the Russians have old firmware.

UNFORTUNATELY I still need to locate the 5.1 firmware for 2CD2xx2 to get the complete set for upgrading.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE V5.1 FW CAN BE FOUND??

Not sure if this is good enough, but I managed to find a 5.1.6 version firmware here:

That looks plausible. But from an unofficial site, you never know.
