Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

Hi and thanks for the promp reply.
I connecting directly (192.0.0.128/64 and also tried 192.168.1.128/64) using SADP. I wonder it takes about 4-5 minutes to boot.
Some notes which may help identify problem.
- TFTP update log was not as described in docs. It finished on digicap.dav transfer complete. But did not show any kernel updated, etc messages.
- Camera never become Inactive, but always appears online as Activated.
- Previuosly (5.2.5) it was configured as DHCP but now I see settings reset to default values. But passwords not working.

May be somebody can provide link to 5.2.5 fw? I will try to restore via TFTP again.
Also, I think the factory reset method with (RST 30s lock + Power ON) should work with SD card. But I am not sure where to get recovery image.
 
That is correct, only the date is valuable, not the time of day. As long as you did everything else exactly right (e.g. 2-digit month and day values, 4 digit year value, proper capitalization in serial number) then I'd agree that Hikvision probably changed the reset code logic.

It would be fine to downgrade. The only question is how to do that if TFTP not working and passwords not working as well.

I cant change anything because cam does not accept neither default password nor the password I set previously.
If you know the method how to change it without the passwords - let me know. I thought when it start bootup and check tftp it uses predefined IP 192.0.0.64 automatically. No need to change.
Also, as I see cam changed its MAC address after upgraded via TFTP. Old MAC was C4:2F:XX:2D:XX:XX:XX, now it is C4:2F:XX:00:XX:XX:XX
 
I did, without any effect.
Even when I replug power fast Windows shows connection lost and then enable again.
Cam blinking leds: 3 at once on reboot, then permanent alarm and blinking link. Such state continues during 7 minutes.
Then cam reboot again (3 leds at once), but this time only alarm left. No link. If I connect using putty-telnet, cam blinking link. But meanwhile no activity.
BTW, network status shows only sent packets present. No incoming packets.

TFTP not working. SADP v2.3.2.6 does not detect cam. Few hours ago v2.3.2.5 detected cam periodically.
v2.3.2.6 has new password recovery.
May be network cable wrong? I used standard node-router cable. Do I need any special pinning?
 
Hi to all. So, what I have now. I moved to WinXP and SADP can see cam each run. Also, TFTP working again - at least transmit file. But I do not see any updating activity (20 minutes gone). If no success, will try to downgrade.
Most probable it means Win Vista+ (Win 7, etc) have firewall problems (UDP filtering?) even if you turn off Win firewall.

USA support yesterday sent doc with the new password reset procedure using .xml files. In doc they noted SADP automatically detects cam sw revision (old is less than 3.1.x) and propose old reset or new reset. SADP detects sw v4.0.x (20150428) on my cam but does not propose .xml reset and still waiting for security code. And does not accept the code from well-known tool.
 
i tested it on oem hikvesion , tvi-1216 , it didnt work , wounder if that only for ip cameras ,or all hikvesion comparable sdap

Does not work with a new 4MP camera: DS-2CD2042W-I. I can't change the IP number. All I get is "password recovery failed"

I got this camera direct from China. The serial number does not have a CCH, it does have a WR.

Fimware is 5.3.2 Build 150603

Any suggestions?
 
It has been suggested that hikvision changed the password reset mechanism, but I don't know since I do not have any recent Hikvision cameras!

If you are simply trying to change the ip address, use hivksions SADP tool
