Hikvision Cameras Defaulting? [Upnp Facilitating Hacks]
Hi, We seem to have certain sites of ours with Hikvision cameras just resetting to factory defaults? Has anyone seen this themselves?
So far three sites this week? It’s only just started to happen. We upgraded the f/w and reset the admin password,reset the IP to what is required, but they drift back to factory default? VMS is Milestone
[IPVM Note: After this discussion and suggestions provided, integrator followed up:
Hi, Issue found - firmware level is lower than required to prevent these hacks as suggested. Also uPNP was on so they were in effect available on the internet.. We tested and proved remote access to the camera with no human entered port forwards
All locked down now.

Are the cameras accessible from internet?
what model are you using from hik?
if it is the DS-2CD23x5FWD-I model, we have had cases where the SD-slot was opened and the lit put back upside down. This caused the rubber to push on the reset button and creates what you are describing
I haven't had Hikvision cameras to default but I continue to have a weird issue with 7 Hikvision cameras connected to an Exacq NVR. Whenever I enable time and date through the OSD of the Hikvision camera it keeps going away. This is an unusual setup where the cameras are recording to the NVR but also FTPing an image to a website every 2 minutes which is why I have time and date enabled on the camera itself.
Hi, Further update these are the models..
