Was doing a firmware update to fix an issue on another model Hikvision camera, and figured what the heck, I'll update all the cameras..... So on my 4th one, all DS-2CD2032-I models it flashes fine, reboots, and goes into a reboot loop. Went out and did the hold-reset-power-on, still boot loops. This is when I realize what's going on, after looking at the label on it.

So, after a little searching on the site, it appears folks have pulled cameras back from the grave with a tftp update. The questions are, is that a valid approach for this camera, and where would find the firmware?

The label says V5.3.0_yada, but the interface before I flashed was v5.2.5_xxxxx.

Suggestion appreciated.
