    Just curious, did you use PETG, PLA, Resin, or some type of Carbon Fibre?

    Amazing job. I couldn't find the DXF that you attached. Thank you for taking time to share what you've done!

    Yea, I started searching ebay for options. I was looking for a bricked one, hoping I could score a plate.

    In search of a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE steel mounting plate

    More bad news for me. My plate was tossed with some other post-storm clean-up. :( I actually have a 3D printer and a 3D scanner with carbon fiber filament. If I had a model or pristine plate, I'd definitely be up to scanning it. But for all of the time and effort, I'd be willing to throw...

    In search of a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE steel mounting plate

    This may be a long shot, but I figured it'd be worth trying. I have a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE, and a few weeks ago, a 80' tree managed to pick the precise location and have just enough distance to hit a pole where my camera was mounted. It destroyed the cap (snapped it) and the mounting plate (bent...

    Yes, sorry. I didn't articulate myself well. I want to find a list of vendors that don't sell hacked china region cameras :)

    Legit HikVision sellers (Canada)

    I live on the east coast of Canada. I'm looking at purchasing some cameras, but I'd like to get the North American versions (not the patched ones like I had before, which I've had trouble updating) and for a reasonable price and keep whatever warranty they have on the camera. Can someone point...

    What's a good upgrade for a DS-2CD2732F-IS?

    I'll check. That's some good information. I bought the cameras in 2015. I had 3 and I accidentally "bricked" one when I didn't realize they were flashed. It's been collecting dust. If I were to upgrade the cameras, what's a good recommendation? I looked online and there seems to be such a...

    What's a good upgrade for a DS-2CD2732F-IS?

    I have two DS-2CD2732F-IS cameras. I'm considering upgrading because the cameras I had purchased before were Chinese firmware flashed to English and I can't patch them and the version of the firmware imposes limits on my NAS size. I'd like the same functionality or perhaps motorized function...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Both of my cams stopped emailing for about a week, and last night they just started working again with gmail. Odd.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    My second part just arrived today that should allow me to do a serial connection. Unfortunately I just moved so I need to unpack before I proceed, but I just wanted to let everyone know that has been PMing me and such that I haven't given up yet.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I might just do that then. I've been contacted (PMed) with others in the same situation and it'd be nice to help them out. I already bought a replacement camera so the problematic camera can be for experimentation.

    I could believe that. Then based on my wiresharking, I don't see where the camera is looking for TFTP, like when it was in the boot loop.

    I don't run Outlook, so no. I hadn't till tonight. I thought of a reset, but never looked for it till you mentioned it. (My manual is written in Chinese.) From what I gather, I hold down the reset button for 10 seconds as the power is plugged in? I tried that tonight and nothing seems to...

    I haven't tried with a different PC or serial connect. (never noticed a serial port?...) I only have the one Windows PC to work with. I'm not convinced it's the PC's problem at this point.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    FYI - I followed that post and it doesn't help. It ignores the situation where the camera is looking for 192.168.1.1, and that the TFTP software (according to what was said earlier) must run on 192.0.0.128. I have a friend that might have access to a layer 3 switch that would allow me to do...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    Wireshark is showing that the camera is looking for 192.168.1.1. (Prior, when I was in a boot loop before I got the junky firmware on the camera, it was looking for 198.0.0.128) You say TFTP only works on 192.0.0.128. Does the above mean that I have to use NAT to map one IP to the other...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I can only speak from what happened from my point of view, but I did it because I typically update my firmware regularly (security, fixes, etc.) If the thought had crossed my mind that I would have had a problem, I wouldn't have done it. It was completely my mistake, not knowing what I was...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    I re-read this and realized I didn't test exactly what you inquired. So I put my Ethernet back to 192.0.0.128 and turned on wireshark and powered up the camera. I don't see a single thing in the over 10 minutes I've left it running that looks like the camera is issuing anything to or from...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    That's correct. I filtered by the camera's mac (src / dst) for any traffic. After waiting a long time, it just repeated. The capture shows exactly what I seen. Prior, when stuck in the boot loop, I was seeing more activity.

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    So I spent some one-on-one time with Wireshark again. I filtered based on the mac address. I noticed that the camera was looking for something on 192.168.1.1. That's the IP of my router. So I bumped it's IP and set my laptop to be 192.168.1.1. So I waited (takes forever before I see this...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    Something I don't understand is if I don't see TFTP and the camera connect when trying the other firmware linked a few comments above, I can't see how a different firmware would change anything since it's just the payload. Of course I'm not in the "boot loop" situation now (and again, I really...

    Help reverting or fixing a 5.3.0 firmware update

    No dice. Once I started seeing how the camera wasn't reacting to SADP, I tried to repeat the process but use the other firmware. No luck. I run ping while plugging in the camera and it doesn't respond at all. It's like it's not running on that IP (192.0.0.64).

    WOAH boys and girls, we got life! I got to thinking about how wonky Windows firewalls were, and when alastairstevenson mentioned the inbound firewall rules, I decided to press 't' a few times to see what was in there. Sure enough, windows set a bunch of rules on tftpserv. Then I remembered...
