Annke Firmware to Hikvision Firmware: HOW TO

[EliotFR]

Hi,

I'd like to try to update my Annke AC800 :

This cameras looks like the DS-2CD2386G2.

I will try V5.7.11_220913 firmware. Is it good ?

Firmware list :

https://www.hikvisioneurope.com/eu/...2XX7G2H 3xx6G2(C) 3xx7G2(C) 1x83G0)/2xxxG2(C)

Any recommendation ? I will use the web interface to update my camera.

This firmware works for the AC800 camera: DS-2CD2086G2-IU/SL

This isn't a too big step 5.7.10 to 5.7.15 ?

Why flash the camera? You won't get any pros, but there will definitely be cons. I advise you not to do this

 

[@GUTEK@]

In the new Hikvision firmware, for example, it is possible to set the OSD font color. So this is a plus, because this OSD is terrible.

I don't know why but smart Events don't work on this camera ( I91DB ).
I have no detection with my Hikvision NVR.
I tried to modify the settings without any success.
It works well on my other Hikvision cameras ( Line crossing detection and intrusion detection ).

you should have bought a Hikvision camera and not an Anke, the price difference is not significant, but you would not have problems with the firmware

 

[EliotFR]

Yes, that's what I tell myself too.

Is it worth taking such a risk to get a brick for OSD?

in China you can buy DS-2CD2386G2-IU for $118

What is the difference between the Chinese clone and the Annke brand?

1) Restore to Factory Settings?

2) how many megapixel does the camera have on firmware V5.7.11_230308

I just read the thread on this forum, but I can't find any information regarding the Annke C1200. Is it possible to flash it with Hikvision firmware? Thanks

 

[PHILka.RU]

You won’t be able to make a Hikvision camera out of an annkе with any firmware, the camera won’t change its model, you’ll only get a logo in the web interface with the firmware, but you’ll definitely lose the mp of the camera.

Example:
my Annke C1200 does NOT support HTTPS (WEIRD and not how it should be
my Annke C800 (flashed Hikvision Firmware) DOES have HTTPS
