Firwmare 5.3.0 DS-2CD2132F-IWS

[izidor78]

Hi,

I have upgraded my camera DS-2CD2132F-IWS to last firmware 5.3.0
Unfortunally, I have a chinese model and now I can not access to my camera.
I have read on this forum some post about downgrad firmware with TFTP.
TFTP work only on PC and I have a Mac.

Help !

TFTP work only on PC and I have a Mac.

You need to find a friend with a PC, perhaps a laptop.

And what is the process to downgrad this camera?

 

[izidor78]

I found the process but I don't know what firmware I have to download. Any idea?

I've seen this post but it say that "NOTE: This is not for 2cdxxx0 models"

I don't think you've read the entire thread...

Alastair knows a lot more than me on this stuff and like he said. You'll need a PC.

OK, here is the Windows tftp updater tool and the usage instructions: http://www.hikvision.com/europe/download_more.asp?id=1336
And here is some downgrade firmware to try: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4036-Custom-Firmware-Downgrader-5-3-0-Chinese-to-5-2-5-English
But - the success of the end result may depend on what the original firmware and manufacture date was.
What's written on the camera label?

Thanks, I 'll try.
On label packaging it's write V5.3.0_150327 but in the webpage it was V.5.2.5 before upgrade

I'm trying to downgrade firmware with VM Windows but the update process does not begin.

 

[alastairstevenson]

Pretty good chance that the @whoslooking 5.3.0 downgrader will work OK then.
Good luck!

 

[izidor78]

I finally succeeded in downgrade firmware with a VM Windows.

 

[Del Boy]

Cool! Thanks for coming back to let us know. Will hopefully help other Mac users.

 

[alastairstevenson]

Well done for getting there!
Was there something specific you had to change in the Windows VM that may help other Mac users?

 

[whoslooking]

Well done another successful downgrade

I have set network properties from VM on bridged option and I have switched off WIFI connexion
