Does SADP show the camera, if so, what IP address is listed and what version of firmware shows?
Just in case the default IP address set in the bootloader for the camera has been changed, change the PC IP address to 192.168.1.128 and ping 192.168.1.64 and see if there is a response.

Yes, tried that as well, and it works without issue.
I tried both CN and EN.
Might try to get myself a crossover cable and see if that will work.
Only one, or neither, should work.
If the tftp updater works, the ethernet is working.
Does SADP see the camera?

No, cannot detect in SADP as well.
I will try again, see if I got any luck

The Putty connecting fine now
I must have messed one one of the files that I downloaded, since I was downloading so much trying to fix the camera.
I have delete everything I got, and re-download everything as per your instruction.
Did all the mod, and voila, can see my Camera again after 2 years of bricks.
Thanks a lot Alastair. Much appreciated
@alastairstevenson managed to unbrick and upgrade three cameras thanks to your tools, many thanks for sharing.

Hello from pandemic 2020. This tool still works like a charm!
BTW if you're unlucky enough to have to do this from 500 miles away, the command "reboot" (no quotes) will restart the camera (no access to power off and back on).

Dear Alastair,
I do have an European Modell DS-2DE7186-A, which belongs to the PTZ R0-Series.
The current firmware is V5.4.71, I want to go back to 5.2.5. My understanding is, that I can do it in two steps.
First with your BrickfixV2 toll, second with your firmware downgrader 5.3.0 to 5.2.5.
If I am correct, could you please provide me with the files?
Thank you very much for your help and advice,
Gehbrausen

As of firmware 5.4.0 Hikvision implemented an anti-rollback feature to inhibit the ability to load major old versions of firmware.
Also - despite that camera being R0 series, I'm not sure if there are differences in the PTZ R0 firmware.
And I'm curious - why do you wish to go back to 5.2.5 ?

There is a selection of R0 firmware here - but beware, I do not know if it is compatible with PTZ R0 series :
R0 series DS-2CD2x32x-Ixx IP camera firmware
This is a selection of firmware that Hikvision have published for the R0 series IP cameras. The R0 series comprise model numbers in the form DS-2CD2x32x-Ixx where the xx denotes options such as IR, Sound, WiFi, SDcard The camera models in the R0...
The @whoslooking 5.3.0 to 5.2.5 downgrader is here :

Thank you for the information. I was able to fix my camera after it went to Chinese from an attempted upgrade. Now running 5.4.5 firmware v5.4.5 Much nicer Web Interface also.
1) The smart events "Intrusion Detection" and "Line Crossing Detection" do not have the "Trigger Channel" anymore -> there is no possibility anymore to have those events recorded to the SD-Card.
2) The smart events and recording cannot be enabled at the same time anymore (see screenshot)
-> this means, either motion detection recorded to SD-Card OR intrusion and line crossing detection as pics to ftp, but not recorded to the SD-Card.
-> with 5.2.5 I was able to activate all events (Motion, Intrusion & Line Crossing) at the same time and having them recorded to the SC-Card.
Does the anti-rollback feature mean, that I cannot go back with BrickfixV2?
Can I destroy the camera trying it or is it always possible to restore the current Firmware if something goes wrong?
Thanks for your advice,
Gehbrausen
