Firmware Problem Updating Firmware In HiWatch IPC Camera?

Ben that looks like your using Edge as your web browser. For the firmware uploads have you been using Internet Explorer?

I'm having the same issue with a Hilook IPC-T240H. The excel doc here: https://www.use-ip.co.uk/forum/attachments/ipc-platform-pdf.5490/ only lists HWC-* and not IPC-* models.

If you assume it's a HWC-* which is meant to be a G0 ... goto Europe Portal > Firmware > Hilook, there is only a Gen1 and not Gen0 folder.

Any attempt to use IE+Firmware Update, HiTools or Batch Upgrade all don't work. I've brute forced through about 40 firmwares so far trying to find the damn hardware series that this camera supports and nothing works. IE+Device Web admin generates a "file mismatch error" and the other two tools give a "Upgrade failed" or hang on 0% forever.

Then there is this thread: Firmware Help which mentions it might be a R6.

Why the hell is it this hard to upgrade a firmware. What nonsense.

Any help would be most apreciated
