update. I've managed to get a little further possibly?......
when I now plug the camera into my nvr i'm now getting the error "language mismatch". I understand this is due to it being a Chinese camera running on an English nvr. I'm stuck for firmware options. If I google the model number (DS-2CD3T45FP1), the only results I get are basically from aliexpress. The same camera is available here in the uk albeit with a different model number ( DS-2CD2T45G0P-I). I thought (hoped) that i'd be able to download the English firmware for this model and update mine with it, obviously this doesn't work. Batch config tries to update for about 5 seconds and throws an error back at me (presumably because its the wrong firmware).
Does anybody have any suggestions? I spoke to the seller in China and they said change the protocol to canon but this hasnt made a difference either.
Is there anything I can change to make it connect via Onvif for example?
I can log into the camera and it works, but all in chinese, logging in via batch converter lets me change options in english but still stuck with the problem of language mismatch?
