No, but do some research before updating the firmware or you'll get yourself in all types of trouble.

Are both the camera and nvr running old firmware then ? Noticed the vca is not saving pictures and it's all setup currently. Only had the couple weeks thought they would of had latest firmware already put on them.

can I ask what's the latest firmware for each. I will obviously have a read up before attempting.
 
You have been already warned ..... :)
For NVR, at the end, I gave up and downgraded from 3.4.82. to 3.3.6 my DS-7608NI-I2/08P RR version (with 3.4.82, after a couple of days running, continuous 'Illegal shutdown', even 3 or 4 times per day, downgraded to 3.3.6, no more issues), while for the camera, once upgraded to 5.4.0, if you encounter issues, you won't be able to downgrade to any earlier versions.
Cheers,

computer updates are not the same as Hikvision nvr camera updates, unless you are 1000% sure you need an update DO NOT UPDATE

as everyone has already said... do it at your own peril, chances of something going wrong or becoming worse 98%

So you guys would recommend staying at the initial firmware that comes with the cameras indefinitely? Assuming things are working ok.

And how do you know if you're buying a HV camera that is UK or chinese model?

1. Yes, if its not broken.. dont break it. The only reason to ever update is if your having a major issue, and you have already confirmed that issue was fixed in newer firmware.. any other reason and your aksing for more problems than you'll ever fix.

2. You cant without seeing the SN# before you buy.
