dvb 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Hi, I received a DS-2CD7283F-EIZHS from Ali-Express / v5.1.0 chinese firmware, english menu. Firmware is different than 2732, then Hikvision support gave me another string value to modify (for fixing NFS NAS issue). Unfortunately, I didn't find this value in davinci => I think I have previously install english firmware. I downloaded this firmware from here => http://www.hikvision.com/en/download_more.asp?id=1347 Problem, I can't flash with tftp method (as I usually did for my DS-2CD2732), it stops here : [2014-05-14 22:31:44] Device[192.0.0.64] test tftpserver [2014-05-14 22:31:44] Connect client[192.0.0.64] success [2014-05-14 22:31:44] Start file[C:\TFTP-Auto-Update\digicap.dav] transmitting [2014-05-14 22:31:54] Completed file[C:\TFTP-Auto-Update\digicap.dav] transmit Do you have an idea of the problem ? - Protection on this hardware from changing region firmware ? - File isn't compatible with this cam ? - Did I missed something ? If I can't fix NAS issue, I will return this materiel for refund. Thank you for your help ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBX 0 Posted May 17, 2014 Use the firmware matching the region of the camera. There is no advantage in forcing a flash of firmware from a different region. It doesn't matter which region the fw it is - it currently makes no difference to the camera (the chinese language issues have nothing to do with which region the firmware is, only the region setting in the cameras flash memory).

dvb 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Hi, OK, no problem to try "same region fw", but I don't know where I can download chinese fw. Could you please give me ftp or url ? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dvb 0 Posted May 25, 2014 @cbx, FYI, I couldn't flash firmware, then I prefered to return cam for full refund. I will probably order DS-2CD-2732IS wich is less expensive, and works great here. Anyway, thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
