    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    I think that changed with FW>3.4.0. Using the English GUI to upgrade the 3.4.0 FW to 3.4.2 which caused the 7816E1 to revert to Chinese. I went back to 3.0.10 using uart/u-boot and upgraded to 3.4.0 which left the NVR in English.

    Hikvision NVR English firmware 3.4.80

    Did anyone else notice that this new FW times out on the web interface? On 3.4.62 I could leave a tab open on Firefox for a week and start video or playback anytime. Now, 3.4.80 seems to timeout after a period of inactivity. Or so I've observed. I have auto logout set to never.

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    I think @Del Boy used the 3.4.80 FW from the HV Chinese site which should work on the K41.

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    I think they did mix it up. My 7616NI-E2 won't accept the K51 file. It did accept the 3.4.62 K41 file without issues.

    NVR Keeps Crashing DS-7608NI-E2

    Along the same lines as @alastairstevenson's reply, what type of HDD are you using? I've seen reboots using regular hard drives and when I switched to a WD Purple surveillance drive, the issues resolved.

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    Read the first post: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/9549-Upgrading-beyond-3-4-0-on-a-Chinese-(lang-2)-HV-NVR Same thing happened to me. You should be able to restore 3.0.10 via a serial UART connection.

    This camera just looks like fun...

    I've used these and have never had an issue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/48V-0-5A-Wall-Plug-POE-Injector-Ethernet-Adapter-IP-Phone-Camera-Power-Supply-US-/321957920096?hash=item4af62ffd60:g:eBwAAOSwBahVfxNj but I don't know if they can supply enough power for your camera. You may need a 1A model.

    This camera just looks like fun...

    I think your issue is voltage drop on the longer length of CAT5e cable. The resistance of the 24AWG wire is dropping too much voltage at 4A. That's why POE runs at 48V vs 12V as that lowers the current to a quarter of what is needed at 12V so the resistance of the cable is less of an issue...

    SSD in NVR

    I guess you could put an SSD in a fanless NVR if you wanted a completely silent NVR. Or if the NVR was installed in a situation that subjected it to high vibration or shock that could damage rotational media. Otherwise the constant writing of the cameras will wear out the SSD quickly. I think...

    A fun camera would be the one that @klasipca uses as his avatar on this forum. Now that's a camera!!! I have no idea what brand it is, but it looks great.

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    3.4.0 works for me on my Chinese NVR (interface is English). And is stable. Any higher FW and it switches to Chinese. I couldn't get it to email me anything but then again on my other English 76xx English NVR I couldn't get emails working with 3.4.0, 3.4.2, nor 3.4.6. I can get the IPCs to...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    I have no experience on the 77xx models, but on the DS-76xxNI-Ex models if the NVR accepts firmware that is marked Lang=1 (English) then the NVR will stay in English with any English or ML firmware load. If the NVR only accepts FW with Lang=2 then the NVR is a Chinese region NVR and any FW...

    Axis 211 Camera Defective?

    I received an Axis 211 that I'm trying to get up and running. I have no idea if it works or not. If I hold down the control button and plug in the POE cable to reset the unit to all defaults, all 3 LEDs turn yellow and stay that way. I've held the control button down for up to a minute, no...

    DS-7604NI-E1/4P, DS-7608NI-E2/8P and DS-7616NI-E2/16P Firmware V. 3.3.6 Build 151229

    Re: DS-7604NI-E1/4P, DS-7608NI-E2/8P and DS-7616NI-E2/16P Firmware V. 3.3.6 Build 15 I took a couple of pictures to show how to restore the NVR via U-boot and a serial UART connection. You'll need a TTL (not the higher voltage RS-232 version) UART USB dongle, a terminal program such as PuTTY...

    Re: DS-7604NI-E1/4P, DS-7608NI-E2/8P and DS-7616NI-E2/16P Firmware V. 3.3.6 Build 15 If your NVR is a Chinese region NVR then most likely what has happened is that it is (language) rejecting the firmware. You can try to see if the NVR is attempting to retrieve a new firmware via TFTP during a...

    IR switching causes line detect to trigger on 2xx2 IPCs

    Whenever the camera switches from day to night or night to day (IR cut on/off) it triggers a line crossing event sending me an unneeded email with images. I have turned the sensitivity of the line event down to 10 and it still occurs. Sometimes the IR switch will occur several times a day when...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2332(D)-I replacement DS-2CD2335(D)-I

    The 50/60Hz option is unavailable on Chinese cams as they are hard set to 50Hz for the Chinese market. That is really only an issue if you are monitoring areas lit by fluorescent lighting, otherwise I don't think it is of a much concern. And as @spixel stated, you may be watching the...

    After upgrade firmware to Hikivison NVR, don't get emails

    I'm running 3.4.0 so I don't know about #1 as I don't have emails working :( As for #2, the HV European site just seems to always be first with new FW releases, HV USA doesn't seem as aggressive when offering newer FW.

    If your NVR is an English version (not a Chinese market version ) then you can upgrade to 3.4.2. See this post: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/9549-Upgrading-beyond-3-4-0-on-a-Chinese-%28lang-2%29-HV-NVR

    SD Cards Longevity question

    I'll second that. Sandisk are great quality but my mini 0805 kept locking up after about 10 mins of recording and then rebooting with a Sandisk Ultra Class 10 UHS-1 128GB card.
