Sorry Alastair, Didn’t realise you wanted it private. I will remove Sorry about that

Hi Richard, Sorry, im really not that great at this type of thing. It took me a long time to figure it all out. Also mine was the 7716 not the 7216 that you have. They all have difference firmware and things like that. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum that will be able to...

Its alive!!!! Can't believe it, a real pain in the bum but happy i got it working. Thanks again for all your input :) Saved me a lot of money by not having to purchase a new DVR. Now to figure out the apps - PC iVMS 4200 - can control everything but cant see the camera feed - iphone...

Thanks for the suggestion, tried the cable echo and worked perfectly (after some googling to figure out what a cable echo was) As it turns out the pin layout in the RS-232 that was damaged were all in the wrong spot, very very dodgy and surprised it passed QC. No wonder I wasn't having any...

Pin 5 was the one, thanks for the suggestion. It had the most left over solder on it so was what I was going to try first :) No warranty left (there should be about 6months), but as it was a ebay purchase, I don't think they will honour it. In any case I've managed to make a new cable. Yup...

Well looks like I have found the problem as to why the RS-232 interface is not working.....very dodgy manufacturing! There is solder on all the connection points....any idea which one connects to the black cable? Also, its a 5pin, not 4 pin like the 7600 series? And finally, once I get...

Hi alastairstevenson, Thanks for the reply. opening up the unit shows that 4pin connector is attached to a cable that connects to the DB9 RS232 on the back panel. I have been connecting directly to the back panel. I could remove the 4pin connector and attach directly to those 4pins if that...

Hi All, installed a update (NVR_K41_BL_ML_STD_V3.4.90_161008) over the original English hack firmware V3.3.4, build 150616. Did this via usb directly to the NVR. Now I get the dreaded 12beeps and reset loop happening. I get a logo pop up on the screen when this happens (not the 'warning you...

Current Version V3.3.4 build 150616 Trying to update to 3.4.0 (but honestly i'll take any version) Haven't tried via USB port. I was told i needed to run the tftp first from the support guy i bought it from. I would much rather do a USB update. (this is a Chinese NVR so not sure if that limits...

Hi I am trying to use the tpfp tool as the current software will not allow me to set a DDNS (just physically wont save, but that's another matter. See below video for example) In any case, I cannot get the tftp tool to work, i get the same error message every time. Search on the web shows that...

I would like to upgrade the firmware but this is a Chinese import so not sure how easy it is. And given my lack of success thus far I'm afraid I wouldn't have the technical skills to revive the thing. If there is a detailed 'how to guide' then perhaps. (Or some local expert in Perth Australia...

Ok, Having a number of issues with this NVR that I cannot figure out. Even hired a IT guy to come out for a few hours but could not get it running. Current Issues 1. Cannot get DDNS activation email from hik-online.com. I register for the service but do not get a activation email, so cannot...

Hi all, Just took delivery of my shinny new 7716 today as well as 6x2335 cameras. I am hoping this thread can help me learn what I need to get this working in a secure manor. Gear I have NVR - Hikvision DS 7716-E4/16P Cameras - Hikvision DS-2CD2335-I Modem - ASUS RT-AC68U Remote viewing...

Re: Smokin Deal on Hikvision DS-2cd2335-i 3MP - Mar 29th for $69.97 from a trusted ve Just got a reponse from the seller, no 6 or 12mm in stock but they do have 8mm. That should work in my situation. Didn't even know they came with that lens
