Imported Hikvision 2032 - Different Version to box.

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

 

I bought 2 2032 bullet cameras from aliexpress and the seller stated they were retail box and latest version.

 

When they came they were in a brown box (wholesale as had some from a different seller before) and the version was 5.1.0. My other 2 have the latest 5.1.6.

 

But the box states build date 07/2014 and version numbers 5.1.6, but when hooked up they are not showing this. (5.1.0)

 

Have these been hacked again from 5.1.0 to make them 'english' even though the day of the week is in Chinese.

 

And could someone point me in the right direction of how to upgrade these to 5.1.6.

 

Thanks

The firmware has been changed to 5.1.0 so it will be in english. If you install the 5.1.6 firmware, you will get all the menus in english.

 

There are plenty of threads on the forums about this; you can either hack the camera and manually install 5.1.6 or 5.2.0 firmware in english, or you can patch the camera to make it international, so it will accept any firmwares (check out cbx threads).
