IP Camera DS-2CV2041G2-IDW (D) G3-platform - latest firmware

[apashi]

Hi all,

I just purchased a second hand Hikvision IP Camera model IP Camera DS-2CV2041G2-IDW (D) and I would like to update it to latest firmware available.

I tried EU Portal G3-platform:

https://www.hikvisioneurope.com/eu/portal/?dir=portal%2FTechnical%20Materials%2F00%20%20Network%20Camera%2F00%20%20Product%20Firmware%2FG3%20Platform

I tried UK Portal G3-platform:

https://www.hikvisioneurope.com/uk/portal/?dir=portal/Product%20Firmware/Hikvision/03%20Front%20Ends/IP%20Camera/G3%20Platform%28DS-2CD2XX6G2%203XX6G2%202X41G%202XX7G2%202XX6G0%20XE6XXX%29

and they are very confusing, nothing makes sens for me at least . . .

Can someone give me some advice on this topic?

Thanks!

Hi @apashi

If you search for 'DS-2CV2041G2-IDW' in the Hikvision Firmware Tool you will see that they list the latest firmware for the (D) model as V5.5.820_231120

thanks a lot Dan, I did the firmware update and everything very smooth.

I would also like to find Hikvision Portals folder for this camera, for the future.

thanks again.

Hi @apashi

It's good to hear the firmware update worked.

Unfortunately, I don't think you will be able to locate a folder for this model in the portal.

You'll see when you search for the model in the firmware tool that the release notes are labelled "Network Camera-V5.5.820 Release Note-G6" and that G6 refers to the firmware family that this camera belongs to, but the G6 folder doesn't currently exist in the portal.

When you go into the firmware section of the UK portal you will see this note - "PLEASE GO TO HIKVISION OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR LATEST FIRMWARE!!!" - we have seen more and more current/new camera model not have their firmware appear in the portal as all new firmware is being launched on the Hikvision website (either via the firmware tool or on the individual camera product pages).

Older firmware versions might eventually appear in the download portal, but as this WiFi model is actually quite new there have only been a couple of firmware updates since its release.
