If it’s cheaper or the same, you’ve got to go for the retail boxed version. Also the retail one may include miniDP adaptors of some sort.

No real difference except PB should be retail packaged, whilst SB is oem packaged. Both should come with 36m warranty though. But to be sure, double check with whoever you’re buying with.

Surprisingly (or maybe not), considering the significance and the number of pieces of equipment potentially impacted worldwide, the story’s been on a bit of a slow burn.

Yes, that’s fine. Just make sure it also includes the smaller low profile bracket as the one in the picture is the full height one.

Also if you use the shorter PCIe 4x slot, you’ll still have the PCIe 16x slot available if you decide to upgrade the graphics in the future.

You’ve should have 2 spare PCIe slots on the SFF so it should be ok. Just look for a low profile card or one that has the smaller plate included.

Don’t bother as I don’t think it’ll still work without the plugin.

The cable you need is Dell P/N 0HG2F3 (or just HG2F3). Or if you don’t have the cage and caddy as well, how about something like: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224254012382

There’s a new version, 5.5.800_210816 for the E7S on the European Portal. http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/?dir=portal/Technical%20Materials/00%20%20Network%20Camera/00%20%20Product%20Firmware/E7%20platform%20%281X43G0E%29/E7S

I totally agree that most users are blissfully unaware of these issues but for those of us who do want to know this stuff, Hikvision do not make it easy. For example, if I go to the local UK website there is currently no mention of anything relating to CVE-2021-36260 under support >> cyber...

The Optiplex 7040 SFF takes low profile cards and it has one PCIe 3.0 16x slot (the other is 4x). That Nvidia Quadro T600 pictured has a low profile bracket on it with 4 mini-DisplayPort connectors, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t physically fit in your SFF machine. The only other thing...

Thank you @watchful_ip for your thorough investigation and pursuing the matter. Now Hikvision need to properly disseminate the information and get the fixes available throughout their various worldwide sites and to the OEMs.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any easy way. Let’s see if anyone more knowledgeable in the ways of Hikvision are aware of something. Ultimately I think the only way to get the stock firmware is if Annke are willing to provide it or happen to release an updated version.

I was intending to get a DS-7608NI-I2 but I’m kind of glad I didn’t just yet until I find out what’s actually going on with the discontinued models.

@db0511 Did you ever manage to get a copy of the original Annke stock firmware, or was it just a one-way journey once you put the Hikvision E7S firmware on the I51DM?
