Good morning, I was incredibly thrilled last night to have found this forum randomly reading reviews on AMAZON.com. I have a HIK VISION DS-7716NI-SP / 16 NVR runningv3.4.21 build 160630. I have 9 of the DS-2CD2732F-IS HIK VISION cameras somebought at different times from different vendors.
In talking to the MFG the cameras current version is 5.4. I pulled the file and proceeded to upgrade cameras with the consecutive firmware 5.1 to 5.2 to 5.3 to 5.4... Three of the cameras were on version 5.25 and all thee ceased responding after the update. I used the guide whoslooking provided in the stickythread and MAGIC I was able to get 2 of the 3 failed devices running again. Letme stop here and say THANK YOU whoslooking!!
One of the devices that is installed VERY high, I will need to rent a ladder to get to is not coming to life. The camera will connect to the TFTP server and the file is transmitted however it never says “success” and even sometimes sends an error.I have tried previous versions 5.2 and 5.3 all of which produce a “success” response in the TFTP server but the camera still never connects to the NVR.
I would love some feedback, depending on the weather I am going to rent a ladder and have it today or tomorrow.
The MFG is suggesting 5.4, what version does this community say I should be running on the US cameras? I am thinking you folks may have some custom firmware or your favorite version.
What about the NON US cameras on 5.2.5, simply leave them where they are?
The camera that is not working, can I simply throw a number of firmware versions at it until it finds one it likes? If so where do I get them and which versions should I start at. I bet the team here would have a better answer if I had the serial and other info from the camera itself. I will pull it down if need be, just need someone home to spot me.
Look forward to any and all responses, especially the ones insisting I search the forums more.
