For some reason I cannot see PIR events on my camera's alert stream viewable at '/Event/notification/alertStream'. I am using this command to view eventTypes being output from the camera
Code:
curl -s -N -u zmuser:zmpass http://192.168.1.45/Event/notification/alertStream | grep eventType
I can verify the PIR sensor is working using the "Audible Warning" and can verify other events like VMD show on that URL when I enable them.
I have tried every possible combination of settings on the 'Basic Event' > 'Other Alarm' tab but the PIR events never show.

I bought my camera from eBay, it is Model DS-2CD2432F-IW, has a sticker saying firmware V5.3.0_150513. But when I received it, it had firmware V5.2.5 on it. I tried updating to V5.3.0 from the HikvisionUSA website but that bricked my camera. I was able to recover using this post https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/3408-HIKVISION-mtd-Brick-Recovery-Guide?p=113233&viewfull=1#post113233. I noticed my firmware has some labels moved around from the V5.2.5 it came with.

Should the PIR show on the alert stream for firmware V5.2.5?
Should I try updating to a V5.3.0 Chinese build? https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/12057-DS-2CD2632F-IS-not-more-working-after-update-v5-4-0-R0?p=109807&viewfull=1#post109807

When I was bricked I tried this build but it didn't fully work. But I'm thinking if I use this command it may work 'hiktools05r1 lang digicap.dav 1'
I'm fine with using a Chinese web-interface, using google translate seemed to be fine with me.

Thanks for the help!
