Hi guys – I am trying to upgrade my Hikvision DS-2CD2T32-I5 from V5.3.0 build 151016 to the next available firmware, as incrementally as possible. However, all the firmware updates that I tried, based on this portal folder, don't work... http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/?dir=portal%2FProduct%20Firmware%2FFront-ends%2F01--IPC%2FR0%20platform%282xx2%29 Do you have any suggestions on how to do it? Many thanks!

Due to a recent burglary, we had to consider various options for a home IP CCTV solution, which could work on existing network infrastructure. I bought the Samsung NVR SRN-473s with the factory hard disk drive of 1TB, which I found quite user friendly. The issue that I am experiencing are the following: 1. The ZModo 720p Wireless Cameras (Model: ZP-IBH13-W) are affordable and easy-to-setup, however: their live streaming is not 30FPS, far from it! Is this related to the router (which is a Netgear Nighthawk) or to the cameras themselves? Also, I cannot make them work with the Samsung NVR through ONVIF Protocol but through RTC ONLY! Aren't they supposed to be working with all ONVIF compatible NVRs? 2. The Samsung NVR doesn't record continuously. It breaks constantly in Scheduled mode. Motion Detection mode does not work, to my surprise! Does it require for the cameras to be motion detection compatible too? Apologies for my ignorance but I would expect this to be a feature of the NVR. Please share your thoughts. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi All – Believe it or not, I managed to connect the ZModo IP Cameras to the NVR, by just disabling its internal DCHP Server. It worked beautifully, till the moment I decided –stupid me!– to upgrade the NRV's firmware. It stopped working, without ANY changes in the settings at all. Of course, I double-checked the settings and they all appear exactly the same. I even initialised the unit, loaded the factory default settings and started from scratch: Nothing! I was wondering if you have any advice at this stage. I was wondering whether buying some rather expensive Samsung cameras would solve the issue! All thoughts welcome! Thanks.
