hikvision 2CD3T45FP1 fisheye camera, english/chinese firmware?

[deggy92]

I'm brand new to the ip camera/nvr camera setups and have just bought an 8ch Hikvision nvr box, and a few various cameras for various needs. Naively, I bought this 2CD3T45FP1 fisheye camera from Aliexpress thinking there would be no issue, it'd just slot right into this system. However when I plug it into my computer and run SADP I am unable to log into it and get the message "device rejected". From what I can gather this is most likely to it being a Chinese camera. Is this something that can be fixed with an English firmware? and if so, where can I get one?
Cheers!

Hi @deggy92

This post may help you confirm if your camera is a Grey Chinese Import

How do I tell if a Hikvision camera is genuine or a Chinese grey import model?

if it does look like a grey import there is very little you can do I'm afraid because the camera will only support Chinese firmware and even if you can update the firmware and access the camera it will likely be fixed to a Chinese language firmware and so unless you can speak/read Mandarin Chinese you will not be able to use the camera.

yeah, been a little busy today so only just getting around to having a mess around with it. sadp sees it but cant log in, ivms doesnt see it at all, direct connection to my router allows me to get to a login screen but doesnt seem to like the password.....
grrr......thinking im not likely to get my money back and if i was to return it, it would "go missing"....
