Maybe I'm just a retard but search doesn't show up much with keywords like hikivision nas 5.2 uninitialized. I'm not really sure wether the cbx fix is for people with chinese region cameras or if it's supposed to fix the nas issue. And downloading the file with no ftp access on the 5.2 firmware is that possible. Anyhow any nudge in the right direction would be awesome! Josh

Same problem, did you ever find a fix?

Tried multiple ways to download the file davinci. No Success. Is this how to fix the NAS problem with 5.2? Thanks

So this is my version, i've telneted in to attempt to download the divinci file, is that the one we need to edit the hex code for the NAS fix? Is this fix required if you get a hikivision NVR? Thanks for the quick reply Itune

I have 5.2 just received cam, having NAS uninitialized problem. Can someone point me to a thread to fix this? Thanks, Josh

Don get it and definitely there are times when tech support is very useful however I do all my own configurations Troubleshooting on my own with help of online of course. I'm just curious if these particular units are any good and if anyone has used them. I looked at this unit DS-2CD2132-I HIKVISION 3MP 1080P IR Outdoor Dome Network IP Camera POE 2.8mm HD Which someone showed on here and it looks fabulous. I really think the 3mp would be useful for outside and of course you can use less cameras. Have u used any of these cheaper chinese cameras with much success? I recently purchased an axis m1054 and while it works great, the night mode sucks, and it was same price as a 3mp chinese camera but only is 1mp!! Josh

Wow i really like the quality of these cameras.. Awesome, Anyone know if you can integrate hikvision and axis cameras?

Not to hijack but have you guys seen quality on these? I recently bought a m1054 axis camera for 215.00 but only 1mp. Audio quality is what I wanted though so I'm happy. But how about these 3mp? Any good?

Have u guys seen these outdoor 1 megapixel Poe cameras on ebay. Anyone know the quality. Was looking into trying one as the cost is super inexpensive. What yall think?

You need to setup port forwarding in your router. You need to choose the ip/computer of your dvr in your internal network and forward to that. And yes since you're running dhcp on your ISP if you loose your dhcp lease you will need to get your new external ip address by doing the canyouseeme website. Search other google sites on how to setup port forwarding with your specific router model number. Good luck!

@buellwinkle did you say you we're using this hikvision cameras with a 4mm lense? What do they come with stock?

Sounds like you just don't know how to setup your router. You need to setup port forwarding to the internal address of 192.168.1.4. That way when you try to access your gateway address it sends you to that dvr(computer). If you have a piece of crap router like the one that comes with att or comcast you probably have this problem.

@ssnapier What are people using for facial? Isn't this a 3megapixel not enough data on a face shot?? I read an article a while back in facial and they need about 250pixels correct me if I'm wrong. In 3000000 mil pixels that can't be done at 50 ft. I thought this is what digital is useful for. !!!

What's all the hype with these hikvision cameras? Are they better than dahua?

Ya your right. The police can barely do jack with the footage. It's more for me to pick out the people and profile them for future incidents and detection. I'm just not sure if cctv with varifocal lenses or digital is the way to go for facial shots. What do you think?
