These are IP cameras for china domestic market, after firmware update will be in Chinese, with no possibility of return to firmw 3.xxhi
Can any of you guys point me in the right direction, I have 5 cam of the same model but none of them have the same firmware and what to bring all of them up to 5.4.20 build 160726
Where can I find that firmware.?
Hiktools changes the language in the header of the firmware file - not the language of the camera itself.What about the app that change the english firmware to a chinese flag, that doesn't work?
If the camera connects OK to whatever NVR or CMS you are using - the 'Batch Configuration Tool' works OK with Chinese cameras and allows fine-detailed configuration with full English menus. It's pretty good, in my view.So there is no way to have my Chinese Hik updated to 5.4.20 in english?
Ok I tough that the Hiktools can change an english firmware and put a chinese header to fools the cam, hence the camera would be in englishHiktools changes the language in the header of the firmware file - not the language of the camera itself.
The itch came from waning to put the latest on all camera to have the new H265, because I wanna to reduce bitrate on my shitty network and maintain a good quality!Try to avoid scratching that "must upgrade" itch if you can - especially if the camera is fine as it is. If you're worried about lack of security updates I would simply ensure the camera isn't exposed to the Internet without VPN or similar restriction. That's a good idea for any device anyway.
Yes, to force load the firmware, then when the cameras reboots it bricks due to EN firmware on a CN camera.put a chinese header to fools the cam
