Did you ever find a workaround?
I just bought a DS-KV8113-WME1(C) "1 Button Metal Villa Door Station" and wanted to add it into Milestone XProtect Essential+ 2023 R3 and the first step works (correctly detecting it using the HikVision generic driver) but the second step fails.
I guess manually...
I just bought two DS-2CD2386G2-IU cameras from the same AliExpress seller which were shipped out on the same date.
The 4mm version came with Hardware Platform G3
The 2.8mm version came with Hardware Platform G5
On the box of the 2.8mm version there is a "C" at the very end even after the 2.8mm...
