G'day All,
I haven't touched the firmware at all since purchase and the 7608NI-I2/8P is currently running V3.4.92 (170228) with the 4 x DS-2CD2352-I's running V5.4.3 (160902). I'd like to update the firmware of the NVR and cameras to get any new features, close any security problems and hopefully increase stability.
I've read that in some cases I should upgrade the firmware in sequence, rather than just jumping to the most recent release. Is this still the case?
I presume the firmware process would be to backup all settings, apply new firmware and then reload the backed up settings? Or is it a case of load the new firmware and enter in the settings from scratch again?
The 7608NI-I2/8P has a serial number of CCRR69###3499WCVU so is the 'unspecified/other' language, with the cameras being 0161###BBWR66###726 serial. I'm only after an English language for the firmware (I'm in Australia), is there a particular firmware I should use, or one that I should avoid at all costs?
And on a side note - with the Australian Government removing all the HikVision gear from government offices that they have installed, is there anything we (as a private customer) can do to avoid any possible tracking/backdoor hacks from another entity?
Cheers
