Hikvision IP Cam Software upgrade.

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have Hikvison IP cam 3 Mpix but is named as Videoteknika VD6554 (version for Dubai brand) with firmware version V5.2.0 build 140721.

Thinking about upgrade for Hikvision V5.3.0 build150513.

 

Is anybody tried to do that ? I'm a bit afraid might something go wrong ...

Any suggestion welcome.

 

Cheers

Hikvision firmware upgrades have been partially done to thwart grey market sales of Chinese cameras.Google a term like "Hikvision firmware upgrade failure" and see the problems caused.If you must upgrade the firmware, get the firmware from where you bought the cameras.

Thanks. That's was worried me.

Can't find anything on Videoteknika website so possibly will leave it as it is.

Might send the email to supplier and will see.

Thanks again.

Would be great !! Thanks man

 

 

Hi. I would contact Videoteknika uk branch and ask them.

Using firmware that you don't know we're from is not a good option.

Agree with tomcctv.

 

It's not recommend to upgrade firmware from unknown/unauthorised sources, especially for HIKVISION, Dahua, etc equipment purchase online from internet vendor or OEMed equipment with different brand on it.

 

Most of the online vendor from china sold local china sets loaded with international firmware either through normal or with a bit of tweaking.

For OEMed equipment, sometimes they have different hardware and firmware customised for the vendor, and the equipment might not work well with the standard firmware from the manufacturer.

 

Read around the forum and you'll find many cases where users bricked their equipment with wrong firmware or have the whole system menu changed to chinese sets after loading new firmware.

 

If you are going to try, HIKVISION does provide firmware downloads on their website.

http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/download_89.html

 

The newer firmware on equipment from authorised channel does comes with an update button.

Haven't try it out yet, but by right it should load in the correct version of the firmware.

Thanks Daryl,

 

Well explained. Waiting for replay from Videoteknia. None one really recommended to do that...

Let you know after replay.

 

Best regards,
