Finding specific camera firmware DS-2CD1041 fw5.4.5_170124

[ipnewman]

Hello,

I'm trying to get my camera working.

It used to show up on SADP and I could connect to it at 192.168.1.64 but couldn't login with any password and no password reset methods worked.

I looked for the firmware for this camera, but couldn't find a match anywhere. I tried installing firmware using TFTP with firmware from a similar camera (5.4.5_170123) and now it doesn't show up on SADP or on the browser. I'm still able to load new firmware on it using TFTP so it's not completely dead.

Would this mean the firmware is wrong for the camera or a different problem?

Thanks

Hard to tell without knowing which firmware that was.
It looks like it's an R6 series camera, if so, firmware is here :

Thank you, the V5.5.82 build 190909 firmware worked and I can now login to the camera.
