flashing DS-2CD2132-I without webgui

Recommended Posts

I do not have access to camera via webgui because I screwed up http port inside camera . So I was wondering if anyone has an idea on how to flash firmware without access to the webgui. I have static ip set for camera which only shows up in ivms 4200 but with connection error. ANy way of directly plugging in ethernet cable to camera to do this type of flash?

You might try loading firmware via TFTP. I've never done a Hikvision camera, so I can't say for sure whether or not it will reset the camera to factory settings, but it doesn't sound like you have much to lose. I can't post a link that you can click on, so you'll have to copy and past the following into your browser, but here is the URL for the TFTP tool and documentation on the Hikvision Europe server....

Hi Brady,

 

I actually done it a few times too (changed http port and can't find it again) what you need to do is add the camera to your ivms4200 software (you only need server port and local IP address, which you can find from SADP) then change the http port if you go to Device management-->remote configuration-->Network

 

See the picture for what I mean~

(sorry i'm using another software but its like the same)

 

 

Hope it helps, PM me if you need to teamviewer or something and I'll walk you through it. As long as your SADP works it should be ok.

Hey thanks a lot for the suggestion. For some reason it does not show up in SADP but it does in IVMS 4200. The only problem is I cant seem to remote configure it in ivms 4200 because it says network error if i try (I can add the camera to devices but then cant do anythign with it). What program is it that you are using? Yea if I cant seem to get it to work I wouldnt mind letting you take a look via teamviewer and it would be greatly apreciated. I actually set these camears up for my gf dad and they were working great till I changed the http port like a dummy , so now I am feeling the pressure to fix it!

 

What port does TFTP use ? And does it need access to the webgui (which i dont have now)?

Hi Brady, sent you the download link for the software i'm using NVMS7000, basically a re-skinned ivms4200.

 

Thanks again for that. I teamviewered into my girlfriends computer real quick and ran SADP and the camera shows up intermittantly for a few seconds.I also pinged camera and it responded to all 4 packets sent regardless of if SADP showed it . So i had her check the poe switch and change ethernet port to a camera that is working and still comes up intermitantly. SO i isntalled ivms 4200 on her computer and wouldnt you know it made SADP did not detect any camera(even working working ones) lol , so i delete IVMS 4200 and SADP works again haha. All firewalls off too just to make sure it wasnt affecting it. I also ran port scanner and for some reason the camera when it was intermitantly off SADP, the port scanner couldnt find it but when it came back on then it would find it but it could only find TCP ports 21 and 23 open which are ftp! So what I am thinking is that maybe hikvision has some default setup which relies on those ports and arent effected by firmware for recovery hence the reason TFTP might work and where it gets its name?

 

I am still down tho to let you take a look but it has to be through my laptop when i go over since my gf doesnt like having teamviewer on her laptop . I just cant think of anymore ideas so I am all ears !

Hi Brady, I would try to add the camera manually even if SADP doesn't work. as long as the Ip works and the server port works and the username/password is working.

 

To add it manually or automatically:

 

 

 

You can pick either option, the top 'add' option is manually put in the ip/port. the bottom 'add' option will put in the info for you already, and only works if your device shows up automatically (the thing down there is like a built-in SADP and you can do modify network if its in a different subnet.)

I have now learned that corrupt firmware sucks haha. But thankfully do to the help of members on the forum I was able to flash new firmware using tftp. It saved my camera which could not be accessed via web browser , SADP, or ivms. Thanks again everyone for the help
