    Bricked DS 7608n-e2p chinese model

    Well done, that's a good result. 3.4.96 isn't that old, there was little change after that version.

    Bricked DS 7608n-e2p chinese model

    Don't worry about file permissions - that routes not useful now, no need to upload files. But the tftp updater is working ok, so you'll be able to load the files in your conversations.

    Bricked DS 7608n-e2p chinese model

    Well done, that's clear. Unfortunately, it shows that the bootpara data has been encoded, it's no longer in plaintext, so that fix route isn't easily available. The next route could be to apply 'hacked to English' firmware. This can be applied via the tftp updater method, using the 'upgrade...

    Bricked DS 7608n-e2p chinese model

    You've only shown the end part of the serial console transcript - missing the important part from 8041e000 that will show if the bootpara block is encoded or is still plaintext. In PuTTY, see the 'copy rollback to clipboard' option in the top left menu of the window - then you can paste the...

    The way to do that is shown in the transcript in post #1 Click the 'Spoiler' to expand, it's a bit long so would otherwise clutter up the post.

    Changing the language header doesn't change the language coded in the NVR - it just stops the NVR rejecting the attempt to load other-language firmware.

    Bricked DS 7608n-e2p chinese model

    There are at least a couple of ways to get the CN E-series NVR back working after applying EN firmware. If the last firmware was old enough that the 'as-built 'bootpara' data is still in plaintext, then it can be edited to permanently change the language to EN On newer firmware (I don't recall...

    Alternative solution to adding Hikvision G2/LSU or other cameras to Dahua NVR where ONVIF won't work

    Dumb question, for which apologies (not seen any ONVIF problems connecting up G2 cameras) in the camera web GUI : Was 'Open Network Video Interface' enabled under Integration protocol? And was a dedicated ONVIF user added as a user under Integration protocol?

    Motherboard for NVR

    You'll need to be a lot more specific - that's such an open-ended question with no detail that it's impossible to give a helpful response.

    [restart fixed, but unknown cause] Crippleware [or bug] by Dahua? Motion Recording was disabled for all non-Dahua IP cams on Feb 27, 2024

    Do you believe the NVR has an auto-update feature enabled? That would be unusual, in my experience. Dumb question - have you tried restarting the NVR?

    Dahua NVR not displaying 1 of 10 cameras on monitor

    Check the camera web GUI for the codec settings for the substream, and whether the substream is still enabled. And check that you can see a live view for the substream in the camera web GUI.

    Power failures-POE failure

    Haha! That's brilliant! Where do you get this stuff?

    Power failures-POE failure

    It would actually be easier than that with a Hikvision NVR and cameras. Hikvision's SADP tool doesn't need to have the PC IP address set to be in the likely 192.168.254.x address range to find the cameras. It operates via a broadcast method. And, given knowledge of the camera admin password...

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

    That transcript looks normal - almost identical to one I just compared with for a 9632. I'd have expected the device to restart OK. It's a puzzle. Yes, from what I've seen. From the DS-9632NI-I8 Press ENTER key to reboot resetting ... U-Boot 2010.06-svn (Aug 14 2015 - 14:50:25) Hit ctrl+u to...
