Hi, I have a pair of DS-7732N-E4/16P NVR's and I used SADP to activate them both using two different passwords (I wrote both of them down), after a few days I was able to access one of them, but not the other. After several attempts and several variations of the password (assuming I just wrote down the wrong one) I decided it's time to clear things out using TFTP and new firmware.
I know this is the Chinese unit so I first tried the multilingual firmware and it transmitted it but immediately booted (meaning it didn't accept it) so I went to http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/download_more_699.html#prettyPhoto and downloaded several chinese/ml firmware versions :
NVR_EXX_V3.3.4_150616
NVR_EXX_BL_ML_STD_V3.4.0_150929
NVR_EXX_76 77 86_V3.4.6_160405
I even used the HikTools to make sure the language flag was set to 2 (CN) but to no avail, each of these firmwares will run though the TFTP and complete but then when the unit boots to the Hikvision boot screen it freezes there and beeps continuously. I've read that this means I have an illegal device of some sort. I just want to return to the firmware I had.
I can't seem to find a firmware that will make the device functional again, any clues in the right direction? I figured going back to the original version that was on the NVR was my best bet but that didn't seem to work even with the language flag set to 2
EDIT: just had a thought...silly as it may sound, is there anyway to download the firmware from my working unit and upload it onto my bricked unit?
