Hi,
I've read hundreds of posts on here and elsewhere about fixing these Hikvision cameras and can't seem to get anywhere...
I've got a DS-2CD2532F-IS camera that was bought from an Amazon seller, in his message it said it was a Multilanguage product, but it does have Chinese writing all over the label etc. He said it was flashed with 5.2.5 firmware yet the label underneath states is was built 10/2015 and the version is V5.3.0_150513. This leads me to believe it was downgraded using the widely suggested 5.3.0 to 5.2.5 TFTP method. The camera is bricked it seems, after it screwed up following an attempt to get it to 5.4.0 via the webgui.
So far, I've tried the TFTP method to get the downgrade firmware 5.2.5 onto the camera, both language version 1 and 2, and neither works. Also tried a Chinese and an EU version of the 5.3.0_150513 firmware to no avail. On all occasions I can see the camera downloading the software via TFTP, but do not get the magical 'upgrade complete' message after it completes the file download. After the file download it is not appearing in SADP and is pingable on 192.168.1.64 with no web access.
Anyone got any suggestions as to other firmware I can try etc?
Thanks...
