Hi Chris. Where did you find the Chinese 5.2.5 firmware?

Here: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?1784-Hikvision-2532F-IS-not-getting-any-audio-through&p=20608&viewfull=1#post20608

Yes, used TFTP with Chinese 5.2.5 and it showed up in SADP.

Update:

My camera is working again with firmware 5.2.5

So after you upgrade the camera via Web Interface using FW V5.2.3, it bricked right after that?

Yes

The camera does not restart automatically after "system update completed".

Tried versions from 5.0 to 5.2.3 several times with no luck.

I have another camera from China under way, guess I'm not gonna do any firmware upgrade on that one

Your first alternative was the FW I upgraded the camera via web browser first time. Tried it several time via tftp.

No success with your second alternative either

Yes, English firmware on Chinese camera.

I tried several times. Same problem.

Get this message when connect trough telnet if it's relevant:

login: can't chdir to home directory '/root/'

I have a Chinese Hikvision 2032 and after a firmware upgrade I have a problem.

Used tftp to upgrade my camera. The camera didn't reboot after upgrade. I can ping and access the camera via telnet, but no access via web.

After rebooting the camera I can't ping or telnet. It's just keep rebooting.

Tried different firmware versions.

Any solutions or is it bricked ?
