End of the road for me, I fear. SADP can now see the camera via both the POE switch or the 12V PSU. But TFTP won't negotiate with it.
I've tried fresh copies of the files in the TFTP folder and also renaming the folder. I've tried setting the server IP to the Hikvision recommended 192.0.0.128 and also to 192.168.1.128 suggested above. SADP only sees the latter IP. And I've tried both recommended names for the firmware file.
I've experimented with keeping the camera powered up and powering it down and up again at different stages. I've tested cables and swapped good cables for good cables.
@StewartM: thanks for posting your screen grabs. The major difference in my setup is that most of my network items were checked by default and I didn't uncheck them whereas you appear to have only IPv4 checked. Do you think this is critical?
I have read somewhere about using Telnet to parachute the firmware into the camera but Hikvision don't mention it and its anyway above my pay grade.
There's always the possibility that it can't be done. There's a Hikvision firmware release note somewhere which warns about not being able to do what I'm trying to do; but I wanted to try.
At least I have heard this afternoon from a high level in tech support that the bug is now being investigated at HQ - which I'm hoping might lead to a patch being sent out.
