HikVision Configuration menu jumbled

I've seen this a few times now, and had reports from several customers of their HikVision camera or NVR or camera's 'Configuration' menu appearing jumbled, and being unable to click or select any of the items in the list at the left hand side. This often seems to happen after a firmware update...

Is it possible to downgrade to a previous firmware from this version? I noticed sometimes cameras freeze for a few seconds on this firmware

 

[Phil]

Yes, just run the firmware update as normal, but select an earlier firmware version.

Caveat - occasionally there is a firmware update which makes changes which cannot be backdated. Hikvision normally state this in their Release Notes.

Just upgraded firmware on DS-2CD2355FWD-I with V5.5.83 and worked well although it took a few minutes to confirm all was ok. I upgraded the NVR firmware first (4.21.000 most recent). I believe both are designed to work together. The only issue I had was with iVMS4200 latest Windows version V3.1.0.05 and the Mac version V2.0.0.5 neither of which seem to work on my hardware. It doesn't help that there are 3 download sites to choose from Hikvision.co.uk and the UK or Europe Hikvisioneurope.com. I chose the latter as it has more up to date releases. Hikvision either need to ditch the other 2 or keep them in sync as it is very confusing.
