    BlueIris Service is failing to start (Windows Server 2025)

    Thread is the answer. Basically log in with the account you want to set as a service one time. After that BI will load.

    Firmware v 5.6.xxx for HikVision DS-2CD1143G0-I

    It would really help if HikVision organized the file naming convention as well :-) From the page: DS-2CD1143G0-I Firmware_V5.5.88_200610 file name -> 01252820-85e5-4c30-ba88-1dd8b8e2d072.zip Firmware_V5.7.21_231213 file name -> Firmware__V5.7.21_231213_S3000547718.zip @hikvision, if you need...

    Firmware v 5.6.xxx for HikVision DS-2CD1143G0-I

    These are 5.5 versions. The link at DS-2CD1143G0-I displays a 5.7 version that does not work. Baffles me that a company like Hikvision are so confused on this front. It really does not take that much effort. Maybe there eventually sort themselves out and are able to provide a level of support...

    You're right I got the version wrong. Camera is on 5.5. 5.6 does not exist and 5.7 does not work.

    Firmware v 5.6.xxx for HikVision DS-2CD1143G0-I

    I extracted the zip file: yes. Correct bin file: I don't understand. I am using iVMS 3.9.1.4 because I could not find version 3.10 -- the hikvision site link points to a file does not exist. Besides this camera (DS-2CD1143G0-I) I also have another hikvision (DS-2CD2347G2-LU) which I upgraded...

    Firmware v 5.6.xxx for HikVision DS-2CD1143G0-I

    Download Sadly both firmwares failed. I don't fully comprehend how a firmware for a camera would fail.

    Firmware v 5.6.xxx for HikVision DS-2CD1143G0-I

    Would anyone have the v 5.6 firmware for the above HikVision IP Cameras please? HikVision's site only seems to carry the v 5.7 yet when I tried to upgrade I get the "Failed to get the upgrading progress. " error. I am on v 5.5 and if I can get hold of v5.6 at least I would upgrade one notch...

    How to update the firmware the firmware of the HikVision DS-2CD1143G0

    When software is depricated it is no longer maintained; and when it is no longer maintained cracks happen. We keep our software updated (don't wish to open a can of worms on regressive Windows updates) generally speaking it addresses security issues. I would not, for exampe, be comfortable...

    How to update the firmware the firmware of the HikVision DS-2CD1143G0

    Thanks @alastairstevenson . There isn't an alternative method? Installing/using software that is no longer supported is quite high risk for me. I would avoid it if I could.

    Hello, Can someone direct me on how to update the firmware of the above cameras please? I tried iVMS-4200 v 3.8.0.4 but the browse button on the web page that comes up is not working (ActiveX issue?). Attempt to perform the update using the web interface of the camera also fails. Thanks
