I have a Hikvision DS-2CD3132-I camera that I have used for about 3 years. They are running V5.2.5 build 141201. This was purchased on ebay along with several others and it is clearly a gray market camera. I shouldn't have to state why I bought them, but my budget didn't allow for me to purchase legit cameras at the time. My plan was to get as much out of them as I could and then start replacing them 1 by 1 with quality cameras.
The other day 1 camera didn't come up on my phone. Later in the day, I power cycled it and dug further. It appears to be working but I just cannot log into it via the ip address. It's like the login credentials have been changed. I tried to change it via the SADP tool but I get something along the line of "device rejected." I can see that it kept the static id that I gave it, I just cannot log into it...
Being gray market, I remember the ad stating not to update the firmware. I haven't tried anything else but was hoping some of you may have some input on this! I want to reiterate, I understand I caused this issue on myself for purchasing a non-supported camera instead of purchasing through a reputable source.
