Greetings,
I still haven't had any luck with the C500 (I51DM) but I did manage to get the C800 (I91BM) upgraded no problem. A couple things regarding that:
1) They have a new "custom" firmware out (link is a couple posts up) as of the last day or two. There is a PDF attachment discussing what the "customization" is. I'm not real familiar with their products, but as far as I can tell that customization is irrelevant.
After upgrading to that latest version the "Firmware Version Property" says "C-R-G5-0" which is what it said with the Annke firmware, whereas on the earlier HikVision firmware it said "B-R-G5-0" I have no idea what that means, but to me matching what it was in Annke mode is a good thing.
2) The section in the configuration to enable ONVIF is missing. I see others have noticed that too, as there is a post above to get the camera working in BlueIris somewhat manually. If you download the "Batch Configuration" tool from the HikVision website, it will allow you to enable and configure ONVIF so that BlueIris will detect and configure the camera properly.
I was able to upgrade the FW. I can see the "Enable Open Network Video Interface" option even without using the batch tool. Although I still can't get BlueIris to auto-configure.
Used the batch tool and still can't. What ports should it be on?
Edit - Never mind, it's working now on port 80. I think it wasn't working because I didnt create a onvif user.
