DS-2CD2135F-IWS full English

[zmiras]

I've got two DS-2CD2135F-IWS V5.3.6 build 151221 cams with Chinese software and English interface.
AFAIK there are G1 cams.

I'd like to try to convert them into full readable, usable (ssh) and safety English cams.
Are there available any procedures and tools to make the switch?

Thanx.

It might be worth reading this thread :

New G1 camera root status

Hello everyone I want to upgrade a few of my EasyIP 1 cameras to newer 8MP G1s, and I just don't like the idea of no root access to cameras I own. Read some threads, and seems there's a solution for older uBoot versions using sec.bins or minisys. How likely is it if I buy a new camera anything...

For those cameras, though, you'd need some 'hacked to English' firmware.
The G1 minisys provides full access for messing around.

They are G0 cameras.

Hi,
Thanks for your informations.

@alastairstevenson
How can I obtain (maybe prepare?) 'hacked to English' firmware for these cams?

@watchful_ip,
Are you sure that they are G0 cameras?
According to: HIKVISION they are in G1 family...

Thx for your replies.
Regards

I don't think G1 existed in 2015, whereas that version and datecode matches G0 firmware.

If you want to get your hands dirty with low-level stuff, I can share with you some things I did a while back on a couple of DS-2CD2335-I cameras I got off eBay a while back.

What problem with your ipc?
All software is chinese
Old 5.3.6 or lower can possible patched via ssh in command line despite the presence of psh inside.
