Hikvision firmware update tool. In order to update the firmware, Hikvision provides some good tools. Here we are explaining how to use hikvision firmware update tool. We explain two methods here. Before starting, let’s know, what is firmware and why we update the device firmware.
Basically, Firmware is a program written in hardware of the device in order to make the device functional. It saved in the read-only memory of the device and can be randomly accessed by the device. In simple words, it is like the BIOS system of the computer. Firmware is installed by the manufacturer at the time of manufacturing to provide an interface for the user.
To understand why we update the firmware understand why we update the android version of our mobile. Obviously, To get more features. In a similar way, we want to get more new features into all devices so we will update the firmware of the device. instead of this, sometimes we found the device is not working properly due to some error firmware or sometimes firmware has crashed so in that case also we have to update the firmware of the device.
Mainly, there are two tools provided by hikvision.
1. Batch update tool.
By using this tool you can update the firmware of more than one device at the same time.
2. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) tool
The second one is TFTP tool, this is mainly used when we want to flash the IP devices. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is old technology and easy to use.

It will ask you to a firmware file which is stored in the first step. Just give it the path of that file and that’s it.

Connect the device to your computer via Lan cable. please make sure them at the same network series (using cross line connect the device to PC or using the switch).
Step 3.
Put the firmware in the same directory where TFTP exe file placed. In my case D: \TFTP. Now run the exe file on the computer(do not need to install). Please make sure firmware’s language is same as the device language.
Step 4.
Alter the computer IP address to 192.0.0.128 and subnet mask is 255.255.255. 0.
