Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-1 activation fail

[Pulpdiction 0]

Hi,

 

I've been trying to activate this camera and can;t seem to get it to work, I have another Hikivsion camera which activated first time through iVMS-4200 (v2.3.1.3) but this camera will not activate. Also tried the latest version of SADP today and that doesn't work either. They both just give a failed message - SADP just says 'Activation Failed'.

 

I cannot log into the camera via web browser as I get a network timed out message. Also tried to ping 192.168.1.64 and that times out as well.

 

Any ideas? It says it is running s/w v 5.3.0 build.

 

Appreciate any advice in layman terms as this is my self build system at home.

 

Thanks

Anyone?

 

Also tried to get it to work by scanning QR code into ivms-4500 app on iphone and just get invalid QR code message.

Hello,

 

I was having the same problem. It turns out I was using the wrong version of the SADP tool and the IMS-4200 software.

 

To fix the problem I downloaded a different version of the SADP software (V2.1.0.2) found here:

I did a password reset using a password reset tool [MOD: edited]

 

After that the camera became active and my default user and pass became admin and 12345.

I was then able to proceed in changing my default gateway to access the camera from my web browser.

 

If you have any questions let me know,

 

Thanks,

Trevor
