Ftp Firmware ((exclusive)) — Hikvision

Hikvision devices refer to this as upgrading by a "remote FTP server". The goal is to copy the firmware file (typically named digicap.dav ) onto a local or remote FTP server, which the device can then access.

Using the TFTP update tool requires the device and the PC running the update tool to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN). While convenient for recovery, TFTP is inherently insecure (no authentication). hikvision ftp firmware
