  4. Will this work for all, including the newest, Hikvision IP cameras? specifically the DS-2CD2055-I and DS-2CD2355-I 5MP cameras?

    Also I was under the impression any TFTP server set to the correct address would work. Is there anything special about this TFTP software?

    Thanks very much. :-)

    1. This should work, however you may lose your configuration. And it's possible you may brick your device beyond repair. Please use at your own risk. Check the forums dedicated to this for help.

    3. First of all calm down on the all CAPS. Second you need to download a firmware version for your NVR.

      Then do the following:

      1) Extract the TFTP.zip on your computer
      2) Place the new firmware(digcap.dav) in the same folder as tftpserv.exe.
      3) Give the laptop a static IP address of 192.0.0.128
      4) Run the tftpserv.exe
      5) Make sure the NVR and the Laptop running tftpserv.exe are connected to the same switch.
      6) Make sure the NVR is powered off, then power it on.

      The NVR will check the IP address during boot and pull the firmware. You can view the progress in tftpserv console. Once it says firmware is successful reboot the NVR.

      All the instructions are in the downloaded zip file.

      1. Rename the firmware to digcap.dav
      2. Put the firmware under the same folder of this TFTP
      3. Set the IP of computer as 192.0.0.128
      4. NVR's IP can be anyone.
      5. Run the tftpserv.exe
      6. Power off and power on the DVR/DVS/IPC. The device will search the new firmware and upgrade it automatically.
      7. Please wait until TFTP shows "Device [192.0.0.64] system update completed!" It takes about 5 minutes.
      8. Close the TFTP before the camera reboots.
      9. DVR/DVS/IPC will restart automatically after upgrading.

      I take no responsibility for any problems that may arise from following my instructions. Just trying to help you out.

    4. Thank you for this! It works for my DS-7608NI-SE/8P NVR
      Wireshark showed NVRs request and TFTP response and made the process perfectly clean

  6. Do you have seen this project?
    https://github.com/scottlamb/hikvision-tftpd
    I don't know if is a good enough for replace the official tool on linux. I prefer Linux a thousand times more than Windows, but sadly work is work.
    By other hand, I love your blog such a great work.
    Regards from Argentine.

    1. I have not tried it, sorry. I currently don’t have time to confirm it either. Just run windows in a VM, you will need windows for more than just firmware upgrade ;). Thanks for your comment on my blog!

  7. I have here a DS-2DC2202-DE3 / W camera and can not access after the software update, reset does not help me unfortunately with the login problem. Is there anyone I can send the camera and he looks at it and repairs it? I would pay for it.mail at hoschdd@yahoo.de

    1. You cannot login or reach the web browser?

      Try to find the camera using the SADP Tool, if not, then downgrade the firmware to the version it came with. Have you powered off the camera and retried?

      Delete

    2. Unfortunately, in the IVMS software a DLL error occurs, according to SDAP Toll, the HTTP port closes after 10 seconds and I can not access. A reset with the TFTP tool does not help with me. It has been switched on and off several times. With an identical camera I have no DLL errors in the software

      Delete
    3. Try reseting the camera to factory defaults:


      1) Factory Reset the IP Camera from the Web Browser.

      2) Once the camera is back up, then power off the camera by removing the power plug or POE cable connection going to the camera. Wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

      Note: You will lose all configuration settings on the camera.

    1. Try disconnecting the Hard Drives (HDD's), remove the SATA & Power connectors going to them. Then try booting. If the DVR boots, then the HDD is bad and needs to be replaced. If not try updating the firmware.

      The steps for updating are in one of my posts above.

      Again, I take no responsibility for anything. I am just trying to help. I am not liable in anyway for my instructions.

  16. If SADP shows cameras IP different than default will this process still work on booting. Means will camera still be updated without changing the IP of the camera to 192.0.0.64. Can we use it with other IPs
