First of all, I apologize if there is an obvious thread in here that explains what I should do. I'm a novice with this particular system.
I made a general post here, and got some good directions to come to this subforum. I've read through a lot of the posts here and tried some things, but I must be missing something.
To recant,
I bought a couple of Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS cameras. The firmware was V5.2.5 build 141201.
I got them all set up, everything was going great. Then I decided to update the firmware before installing them. I grabbed the latest firmware from the Hikvision site (IPC_R0_EN_STD_5.3.0_150513) and uploaded it to one of the cameras. Now it's not responsive. I see it has "light" but it doesn't have an IP address available anymore. I contacted the seller (bought direct from China on Ebay, high rep.) for some assistance.
At the moment:
What I've tried:
The information is scattered about and later I read that I don't have to worry about mtd5/6 unless I've messed with them (?). I also believe I read that you can't connect using telnet if you've tried to upgrade to 5.3.0 (ssh required).
I'm not sure what to do. Can someone explain the overall steps I should be following to fix my stupid mistake.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

At the moment:
- I have the camera connected directly to my PC and miraculously found a 12V DC adapter in my house.
- I have my IPv4 set to 192.0.0.128.
- I downloaded a 5.2.5 firmware from the mtd Brick Recovery Guide thread.
What I've tried:
- I tried telneting into the system (192.0.0.64), but no dice.
- I tried running tftpserv.exe with the 5.2.5 firmware in the same directory as the exe. But I just says it's running on 192.0.0.128 (my PCs IP).
- For a lark, I tried FTPing into it. No dice.
