I upgraded to the 5.2.0 and everything is in chinese... now I'm looking for the 5.1.2 to go back to english, even though the NAS is not working.....

I found the 5.1.2 on the europeen site, but when I try to downgrade, it tells me (in chinese) Status upgrade fails with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark in it...

You can change 5.20 to english there are several posts here on how to do it...i dont know if you can change it back to 5.1.2..but if you can you probably have to tftp....

5.2 into english would be great, I'm just not finding how to start. A lot of the time, people say to telnet into the camera, I just don't know how. Seems pretty easy, but it just doesn't work for me.

telnet 192.168.1.64?

Ok, I check with an other camera, in my 5.2 firmware for the DS-2CD2532F-IS, there is no enable button in the gui for Telnet. I only have enable IR Light. What can i do?

For those, like me, who think the telnet feature is not in the 5.2 firmware, think twice :), After going around and translating everything into english through google translate, I stumble in a tab where it's written Telnet IN ENGLISH :), and I was so happy to see that, I got happier to see a SSH option too. Cool, know I can do whatever I want with that small computer embedded in the camera :)

Where did you find this? I am having troubles finding a way to turn Telnet on... And I want to get this fix in place...
