HikVision Password Reset / Flash new FW via RS232

[deanfourie]

It was the file transfer completed or whatever. The closed the tftp server.

Is it possible now to go down the rs232 route?

It was the file transfer completed or whatever. The closed the tftp server.

If that was all- the firmware was not actually updated.
Transferring the file is just the first step.
You need the message 'System update completed' or nothing has happened.

No I didnt get that message

 

[alastairstevenson]

No I didnt get that message

In which case the firmware has not been updated - possibly because the file used is not compatible with the camera.

 

[deanfourie]

Excellent. I'll leave it at that then. I'll bin it

Have you lifted the little flap up.where the sd card goes and hit the reset button

 

[marku2]

I am assuming you have not got this camera to open up and view it
So I wouldn’t bin it.
I can post a step by step guide when I get home tonight
On how these set up onto your lan

 

[deanfourie]

Sure that would be great. I am still addimint that the password is wrong. Yes I have the camera with me and can open it or whatever.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I’m on to it now I will post pictures too hang tight

 

[marku2]

Ok first off let’s reset the camera
Slide up the balck part so you can see the sd card slot
The button on the right hold down an apply power hold for 40seconds
Let the power go it will say hello then seconds it will say system connection success

 

[marku2]

Next take a cable and plug into a switch or the router.
Go to you computer and open up iVMS
Go to device management and look for the camera it should say it not added
Click on add device
Give the camera a name
Then type admin
Then for the password use admin(your device code which is under the camera
Eg YHUJK ) hit add

 

[marku2]

Navigate to security and untick illegal log in and save
Navigate to user and modify the password to what you want hit save
Then in device manager delete the camera it will be back to the not added bottom part
Re add the camera this time
admin
Your new password
Then it should add with password strength showning strong
Go to network and untick dhcp as each time I will power off it will get a new ip.
You can the set up wifi also untick dhcp there too
And you can add the IP address to an nvr and the nvr will record what’s coming out

 

[deanfourie]

Thank you

 

[marku2]

This IP address you can not load in to a browser it will not work this way
On your phone app it will work
If you add this to a nvr channel under manually then you can see it
For all settings click on the camera with remote management and all the settings will open up for you

 

[marku2]

Thank you

Ok im still nutting away at this LOL. Ive tried multiple firmware upgrades via TFTP with no luck. I dont get the system upgrade successful. So maybe I have the wrong firmware?

Anyway I played with the RS232 option today and the best I got was hik mcu (v1.2) thats as far as I got, not sure if I need to send a break or what to get serial data to load.

Please help!

I have followed the above steps but am still getting password incorrect. I am using the device "verification code" which is like QGFYCU.

Any ideas?

Thanks
