Hello,

I had some DS-2CD2420F-IW cameras lying here. But their UI was extremely slow and completely unusable with any modern browser.
I made a custom UI at GitHub - renaudallard/hikvision_R2_firmware: unpack and repack hikvision R2 firmware files which can be flashed over the official firmware.
The live view can be used without any plugin and everything else is way faster.
The camera will still work with Synology surveillance station and the likes as on the web UI has changed.
There is also a wifi watchdog to restore wifi when lost, which was one of the weakest points of those cameras.

Feel free to test and open bug reports.

It's a very stripped down version, but with all functions. It now also works on R0 cameras like the DS-2CD2332-I

At the moment, it's just JPEG snapshot polling, so about 1-2fps.

I am working on better streaming, but it's not obvious and from what I can see, it will only be available with http, not https
