That fixed it! Many thanks mate!

Hi Guys, Fresh here, looking for much needed help! I bought 9 DS-2CD2032-I from AliExpress, with Firmware 5.2.5 English on them. I saw there was firmware 5.3.0 on Hik's site and went to update. Worst decision ever as the camera isn't reachable anymore. I tried sourcing the net for v5.2.5 and tried restoring via tftp with 2 different 5.2.5 off the internet. Apparently both seem not to work. I open the tftp server with all IPs assigned, the camera connects, firmware transfers successfully, but it stops there, no other updates or whatever. Info from a working one: Model DS-2CD2032-I Serial No. DS-2CD2032 Firmware Version V5.2.5 build 141201 Encoding Version V5.0 build 140714 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
