Nice work but does this actually make the camera an English camera in the same way that the firmware hack does?

 

The firmware hack or the CBX conversions turns the camera into an English/US model which means that it can be used with iVMS4200 which blocks the use of Chinese cameras.

 

If the mod essentially substitutes the menu items for English rather than Chinese it is likely the camera will still be recognized by iVMS4200 and even the firmware updates as a Chinese model.

 

Anyone care to confirm?

You are correct, this is a temporary patch that will not survive a new firmware flash.

Better than Chinese but still...

i've done that fix, this "HACK" seems to be talking about something else

You're right, he's going at it differently. I skimmed over the last lines assuming.

Looks like he's edited the .xml file, deleting one folder and renaming the other to the deleted one?

You may want to read back over CBX's earlier work on the day of the week patch.

I can understand a few but not all of these commands. Is this pretty much the same process that is used by CBX?

 

Does anyone know what it costs to have CBX do a camera conversion?

 

Thanks,

David

No. This is a file hack that will not survive a firmware change, mine is a factory region change which is independant of what firmware you put on.
