Camera Model: DS-2CD2032-I
Firmware version: V5.2.5 build 141201
encoding version: V5.0 build 140714
Just did some research and saw that my serial number has "CCCH" in it which means its a grey market.
New the price was too good to be true.
Anyway I have had these cameras for 2 years now and they are great (considering grey market).
Was looking at applying a firmware upgrade and saw all the issues for grey market products to watch out with language changing to chinese. Lucky me now.
I have done lots of reading so I think I could pull off the upgrade but I wanted to post this out here first just in case I missed something in my reading and get other peoples opinions.
Things i need to watch out for:
1) I have to go to V5.3 first is that right?
2) I will have to hack 5.3 to work in english??? not sure
3) Once I have 5.3 working in english I then can upgrade to 5.4??
4) will I need to hack 5.4 to english too?
Best guide for 5.3 & 5.4 language hack/changes??
