venturis 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Just noticed that Hikvision has released a new official firmware for the "Raptor" series of Megapixel IP Cameras. http://www.hikvisioneurope.com Namely for the 2CD series of cameras. I have the OEM verision of the 2CD2332 so I cant install it on my camera but might be usual for someone else. No release notes with this one so no idea what has been changed or added.

Brenning 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Trying now, will let you know shortly how it goes on my European 2CD2032 Brenning Update complete... Firmware Version - V5.0.5 130925 Encoding Version - V4.0 build 130924 There might possibly be some new features but its hard to tell as what it has done is break most of the tabs in the config page. A lot of the tabs along the right hand side now have no name and the width is minimal. You can just about click them and guess which one they are supposed to be but some dont work......not too good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, re-installing the web components was what resolved the issue. New features i can see from having a quick browse through are two new frame rate options (18 & 20 fps) a new option called "SVC" under the video config (on / off options) and a NAT tab under the network options which i havent noticed before (appears to be able to nat ports through to external IP). Anyone know what SVC is? Brenning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gill22 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Does it work on the Swann's from costco? I was wondering if firmware from http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Product%20Firmware/Cameras/ and ftp.hikvision.com are same?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if firmware from http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Product%20Firmware/Cameras/ and ftp.hikvision.com are same?? I second this inquiry. Is it the same? "first of all, thank you for your detailed feedback. We have had that feedback from other customers as well and we truly appreciate hearing the concerns about our products as well as what customer desire to see in our products. The concerns you raise are valid issues with integrated IR from both a performance and application standpoint. This upgrade has been in our roadmap and will be available in a firmware upgrade (v5.1) before the end of this year." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(without switching to daytime mode) This feature is planned for version 5.1, however, I wouldn't be surprised if they added it in this version for us to start testing.

Ea>Br 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Brenning, did you have to do any hard reset after upgrading fw? My camera is up on the roof used as a weather camera so its definitely not fun to go up there to do a hard reset. Camera is bought in china so have to email them for fw anyway but it would be nice to know about if reset is needed or not, my Vivotek IP8332 seams to need a hard reset after fw upgrade and that reset button is inside camera also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVBrasil 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Hello: I see in the Hikvisin´s manual: SVC: Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC standard. The technology encodes the video signal with layers; the basic layer and several enhanced layers and it is adaptive to the network condition to transfer different video streams. For example, when the bandwidth is limited, only the basic layer data is encoded and transferred. You can enable the function when you want o see the video with several terminals , such as the mobile phone with 3G network, or the personal computer with IP network. Above the shortcut http://www.hikvision.com/UploadFile/image/2013051507504074952.pdf Bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
