Greetings.
This is the second time that my LaView LV-N9808C8E has bricked itself; the first time I followed the instructions linked on this page to unbrick the unit successfully.

LaView NVR Hikvision firmware? (working page that references a link; post by ppp2003 on Mar 29, 2016)
(the non-working link with the instructions)

I was hoping an admin or user could assist me in locating that page (I'm sure that some copy exists somewhere but the link in its current state does not work).

I realize that this is older hardware and I will be eventually migrating to a better solution, but until such time it would be a great asset to have the cameras working.


Thank you for your assistance :)

I'm guessing a bit here - do you recall if the process was to use the Hikvision tftp updater to re-flash the firmware?
If so, the process is something like this :

Hey thanks for the reply everyone!
I did the TTL Serial connection + TFTP on the previous unbrick (still have the onboard connectors ready to use to unbrick - didn't remove them).
I found this link that shows my board and the process that I used to unbrick (sucessfully!).

Hikvision - Clearing Passwords and/or Loading Firmware via TTL Serial

I recently picked up a used Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P (at auction) that was password locked. The seller was unable to tell me where it was sold, and all the Hikvision offices I contacted (US, EU, AU, CN, HK) provided the canned "purchased through an unauthorized" channel response. The stated...
