    HIKVision iDS-9632NXI-I8/16S Reset / firmware reflash, what firmware? (no password)

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. I've literally just had success! Yes was using serial console, on stopping U-boot, it gave me the option to upgrade straight off so went with that. I wasn't aware that the HIK TFTP had a file size limit. I did try it obviously with no success. I tried with TFTP...

    DS-7732NI-I4(B) Update / reset via putty / tftp - stuck after interrupting boot process (RESOLVED)

    OK, so interesting result here, but i have succeeded. I actually had two of these units and both done. Unit 1 which i had been messing about with previously. I had been searching for suggestions, ultimately tried this; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0x42000000...

    DS-7732NI-I4(B) Update / reset via putty / tftp - stuck after interrupting boot process (RESOLVED)

    It looks like you're trying to execute the firmware file as opposed to letting the device load and run the kernel. tbh I’m winging it from another thread ive read, but thinking about it and reading the commands, yes. Best not to mess with the bootargs and bootcmd variables. Are they still at...

    Hikvision camera setup

    Is the camera plugged directly into POE ports on the back of the NVR? I believe the HIK cameras will need activating with the SADP software? Just out of interest, what model HView cameras are you having picture quality trouble with?

    HIK NVR, Normal playback not showing events (DS-7608NI-I2/8P) Notifications working though

    Right OK, so ive upgraded the firmware and still no better. My only last thought is that im not using HIK Cameras, but i really can't see that being the reason. They connect to the NVR via the HIK protocol, they are HView ones. Edit, have also downloaded iVMS, does not show the event...
