Thanks for sharing this.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to let me install this on my E8 C500. Now running 5.5.800.
Anybody got any clues on how to get back to stock?

After I upgraded from Annke the resolution went down to 4MP, before the firmware upgrade the resolution showing was 2592 x 1944, after the Hikvision firmware upgrade the resolution was 2560 * 1440 4mp, is this what happened to you also ?
Yes, but for me the priority was to have the alert with screenshot + ftp rather than an unconventional 5MP

Hi All,
Are there any firmware updates for Model 181HD Firmware C-R-E8-0 ? I am getting the stream error when trying to view HD and it is driving me insane on my NC400's. I just had these installed yesterday and would have went with a different camera setup had I known it was going to be this much of a hassle.

you need to ask for firmware from annke support for the CR-E8-0 platform
I’ll note from myself that they don’t give any accepting firmware from hikvision, only problems. And annke firmware is newer.

I just bought a C500 I51DM, which skips som frames.
Ankee released a firmware, C500-Firmware V5.5.111 build 20211008 to fix this but in an attempt to update I received an error.
Then I came across this thread and successfully updated to HikVision V5.5.800 build 210628. Now the live stream seems fine, but I still get frame skipping on recorded clips, typically 4-5 seconds each time
There is an updated FW (IPC_E7S_EN_STD_5.5.800_210816) on HikVision's site, but I receive the error again when trying to upgrade. Is there another way to upgrade FW than through the web browser?

Hello!
Forgive my ignorance but I am new here and I am a bit confused with all this technical detail about cameras and NVRs.
So, I have recently bought the Annke WS500 kit. It comes with the N48WHS NVR and 4 I51CE cameras. My problem is that I am constantly receiving false motion detection alarms. I have tried to lower the sensitivity as low as 20% and I have even turned off the IR Light but it didn't help. So I was wondering if I could flash a Hikvision firmware somehow in order to deal with it hopefully. My neighbour has a Hikvision system that doesn't have those problems, so I thought that this could work.
Can you guide me as to which Hikvision firmware I should choose provided that what I'm thinking is even possible?
I am attaching screenshots of both my NVR and cameras information.
Thank you

Hi all.
I have a IPC Camera I881FB with firmware V5.3.8 build 161103 and what firmware I have to upload to use Hikvision firmware ? Some says that it is R6 model but any firmware from Hik Portal suite for it.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

If you upload Hikvision FW the camera loses the ability to create events from detected people. It will report any changes in the landscape and give you many false alerts. And you can't restore the Annke FW, or at least I haven't found a way to do reverse the camera I upgraded.
After you switch to hikvision firmware from Annke can you normally still connect to Annke Vision or Hik-Connect? Neither will let me connect by serial number and Hik-Connect stays offline on the camera even if I try to change the site it connects to with custom to one of the several alternate Hik-Connect.com or guardingvision.com sites.
I think you flashed the 4MP firmware. The C500 (I51DL) equivalent is the Value Series Hikvision DS-2CD1053G0-I(UF) Specs page which has Max. Resolution 2560 × 1920. The latest firmware is IPCE_E8_EN_STD_5.7.12_220819 Link.
You can cross verify model firmware of Hikvision cameras by checking each camera model with one of their security patch (platform/model) here
Hi @xxalgisxx
I have the same NVR model (N48PBB) however I have been hesitant to use the 7100NI-Q1 firmware since most of the specs sound different:
- IP Video Input: 8-ch Up to 4 MP resolution
- Recording Resolution: 4 MP/3 MP/1080p/UXGA /720p/VGA/4CIF/DCIF/ 2CIF/CIF/QCIF
- Decoding Capability: 4-ch@1080p (25 fps), 2-ch@4 MP (25 fps)
Hey guys,
Not sure if this is off-topic, but I'm getting difficulty getting an acceptable picture from my Annke C800 cam.
If I set a picture that looks great during the day, it looks horrible at night - and vice-versa.
Also during the day, if I set it to look fantastic during a sunny day, it looks horrible during cloudy weather - and vice-versa.
The only exposure setting that is available is 'Fixed' - no 'auto', no shutter priority, no gain priority. Is there a way to enable some 'auto exposure' setting that I'm unaware of?
I understand that I can set it to switch 'image parameters' at predefined times of the day, but this would be a pain in the ass where I'm living, since sunrise/sunset times fluctuate highly throughout the year, and that doesn't solve the problem with getting it to look decent during the day in any weather.

Hi,
You might be able to do some workaround. Below links provide some info about what settings to change and possible ways to run a task to make changes (automation). The last link can help you running automation, example checking the weather for your area (OpenWeatherMap API type) and trigger your automation tasks accordingly.
improving Annke C800
I'm running an Annke C800 dome and turret camera and the quality is OK but it suffers with ghosting at night. I just found footage of a raccoon running around in front of it and BI/Deepstack didn't see it (o.O). Anyway, when I view the feed (at night) it has some significant ghosting...
Figuring out Hikvision API / ISAPI
I have been using the Hikvision API on a pair of DS-2CD2345FWD-I cameras. Based on some code I found online I was able to determine how to connect, authenticate & inject a text overlay onto the camera interface. This has worked great for about 1 year, never an issue. Here is a snapshot...

Hi @majones,
I've a C800 bullet (I91BD without audio), but i can't see any Firmware upgrade button into the configuration... How I can turn on the upgrade?
Any suggestion?
I would like to try the latest firmware from Hikvision G1: IPC_G1_EN_STD_5.6.6_210625
@cyrusbyte
I saw somewhere that in some Annke ipcams, the firmware upgrade button is disabled (hidden). I don't remember exactly, but with Firefox there is a way to show hidden elements (scripts or css) so I can update the firmware but I don't remember the way to do that. Tips?

Maybe try the Batch Configuration Tool to see if it will apply the firmware :

Activate or configure multiple Hikvision cameras or one at a time.
