Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

[axelum]

Need help changing the logo on the hikvision DS-2CD2643G0-IZS camera works on firmware G1 v5.6.4 - v5.6.5

 

[axelum]

I'd check out the @rearanger excellent post here Hikvision G1 5.5+ firmware Exploring the Cam & attempting unlock

Once you get root shell on the camera you can change the logo to what you'd like. Will require UART access to the camera to get root in the first place however.

yes, but I am having several problems:
1) I couldn't find the images.
2) I can't download firmware via tftp after formatting.
error tftp: timeout
with smaller files everything works out

You can mount the ubi volume that contains the IEfile.tar.gz if you poke about a bit using the display text as reference.

That will contain the logo you want to change.
edit:
Just checking one of my G1's and looks like after a firmware has booted first time it unpacks IEfile.tar.gz and deletes it.
So the files you are after would be

/dev/ubi5_0 on /dav_web type ubifs (rw,relatime)

In /dav_web

mkdir /dav_web
ubiattach  -m 14 -d 5 -b 5
mount -t ubifs /dev/ubi5_0 /dav_web

# find /dav_web | grep -i logo.png
/dav_web/webLib/doc/ui/images/logo.png

Thanks, truly grateful for your assistance

Friends, any chance to flash this cam to english?
Camera is remote installed and i will have limited time to reflash it there.
thanks!

Do you have a dropdown box at the web login page? Many have English option but default to another language..

Hello. I have 4 Annke C-800 Turret cameras (P/N I91BF, S/N start with 'E') , apparently equivalent to Hikvision P/N DS-2CD2383G0-I . My Annke cameras came with Factory Installed F/W = V5.5.83 , build 190313. Going to the Hikvision US website entry for that camera: 8 MP Outdoor IR Network Turret Camera and following the latest firmware download link, I find V5.6.3 build 190923 (11/20/2019) is the latest released firmware version (and newer than what is in my Annke Cameras). I also see from the Hikvision download EU portal that there are a couple newer versions than the latest released version. The latest shown on that site is V5.6.5 build 200316 (4/30/2020). Should I go with the released version or the newest version?

This might help:

Annke Firmware to Hikvision Firmware: HOW TO

Wanted to post this for anyone that wanted to switch to Hikvision firmware. ---CHANGING FIRMWARE WILL NOT ADD NEW FEATRUES.. these are coded separately from the firmware. If you don't already have smart events it will not add them.--- It may fix or enhance existing functions or even stability...

@watchful_ip

Can you give me some help?

I mounted by ubiattach, according to your code, but the invalid argument error appears.

How can i solve this problem?

I mounted by ubiattach, according to your code, but the invalid argument error appears.

Check that the target device does exist, for example :
ls -al /dev/ubi*

ls -al /dev/ubi*

I checked it . i think target already exist.




And this is all i did, after boot.

Yes, you are correct.

Just guessing - maybe try instead
ubiattach -m 14 -d 5 /dev/ubi_ctrl

Can you mount any other partitions?

I checked your code. and this is the result..

Anyway to use this code to change the OEM code. I feel like my NVR having an OEM code of 0x1 is causing firmware upgrades to fail. I have the correct firmware with the correct platform code. So the language code, platform code are all correct. Oem code is different.

Hikvision NVR OEM version Upgradable?

Hey guys....trying to upgrade an ebay find. I believe its a DS-7608NI-I2-8P but it actually has a different model in the firmware. It doesn't say Hikvision on the front instead it just says NVR. I've attempted to upgrade the firmware a couple times and it just fails. I finally got UART...

Hello, can the serial number of the DVR be changed?

 

[pckolev]

On older models, the serial number can be seen in this order. How can this pattern change?

Hello there, I have a problem with my IP-Based Indoor Station Hikvision. I have bought Ds- 6350-C1 with language Chinese. I am using an old one Ds-6350-wte1 with English language.
Now I want my DS-6350-C1 also have english language, I downloaded "Batch Configuration", then Add 6350-C1 then try to upgrade firmware to it. The firmware I use is from this link: DS-KH6350-WTE1
But not success
Can anyone help me?

 

[Oleglevsha]

all this is difficult, you need to decrypt the firmware files, make changes and then return them back to the firmware
