    Please help Hikvision NVR lost cameras but not all

    Search for firmware updates on this forum as I can't remember where I got the firmware. If you need to update firmware, make sure you do it one update at a time sequentially or you may brick the NVR. It took me a while but it updated that way without issue

    Please help Hikvision NVR lost cameras but not all

    OK, I got it all working, but still will not work if I try plug and play, cameras will only work from the IP address. I had a problem with the encryption stopping the Indoor station from displaying, but I turned it off at the NVR and that all works now. Any suggestions why plug and play camera...

    Please help Hikvision NVR lost cameras but not all

    After doing a reset, I managed to get the cameras working, but they will only work on manual adding the IP address. If I then select plug and play, the camera comes up with a user or password error.

    Please help Hikvision NVR lost cameras but not all

    I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-12/8P recently updated to V4.6.025 firmware and I had to dismantle it due to fan noise. I cleaned and lubed the fan and resembled the NVR and everything worked except I had 2 cameras in the wrong port but they were all working. After switching the cables, the NVR...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    Very strange. I did a factory default reset hoping to upgrade the firmware, but was hesitant due to having to input passwords before the upgrade. After re-instating my details, the NVR is now running perfectly and is rock steady and works well.

    I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P 3.495. Build 170626 that has some problems and I would like to try and upgrade the firmware.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    It is still not right and i can only do live view on my indoor station if I reboot the NVR, then I get error 10703. I am going to do a factory reset and upgrade the firmware. Hopefully not end up bricking the NVR

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    I changed the live view to sub stream and it no longer freezes and the detail seems to be acceptable. When I get the courage, I will still have a crack at upgrading the firmware.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    After some more experimenting, I find that for some reason it works better in 5+1 mode than 2x2 mode. The largest screen seems to be around 30 seconds behind the smaller one, and if i view the live view on my phone over wifi, the picture is around 10 seconds ahead of the small screens on the VGA...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    I am rebooting via the shut-down menu on the nvr. The freezing happens on 1 or more windows of a 4 screen matrix on a pc monitor connected to the nvr. After a period the frozen screen will update, and then another one will freeze. Remote view on hikconnect seems to be OK as does playback. When...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P freezing live view

    I have had this NVR since 2018 and originally ran 2 1tb hard WD purple drives in it. I would occasionally freeze in the live view randomly in each of the 4 windows, but independently of each other. The work around I found for this was to re initialize one of the hard drives, and then it would...

    Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME1 door station crashes NVR when added

    BTW, if I click "Update" in my browser or IVMS, I get the reply, "not detect new version. the current version is the latest" Apparently ugrading from 3x to 4x can be a problem

    Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME1 door station crashes NVR when added

    That's great news and I at least know now that it is a firmware issue. now I have to decide whether I am prepared to brick the NVR as I can't get any info on the origin of the NVR as the seller is no longer on ebay as does not repond to emails. Did you do anything special when you upgraded the...
