Without knowing what the underlying region setting is on your NVR, and whether it is currently running modified firmware that make it masquerade as EN to give English menus, I can't be confident that there would not be any problems in trying the upgrade that you want to do.

I know I did a firmware upgrade on my device a few years back, cause the NVR would not see my fisheye cam. I am not sure if I got the firmware from the Eurppe site or Chinease site. I did the upgrade via my laptop logged into the NVR's ip address And everything went great. DS-7616N E2/8P running V3.3.6 build 151102. Fixed my fisheye problem as well as others. Did have a camera language mismatch on a couple cams, which I fixed via this AWESOME FORUM. If I wanted to take the plunge to the latest and greatest firmware 3.4.90 and/or 3.4.91 which sites fw should I use? China or Europe?

Something dawned on me. If I have a copy of the fw, I updated my NVR with when I upgarded it, could I tell where I got it from? Just realized it says, overseas. Besides that, could the digicap.dav file tell me anything?

From what I've seen - the 78/79 firmware has only been published on the Hikvision CN site, and that does look like their file naming convention, apart from the -Overseas suffix.
海康威视是以视频为核心的物联网解决方案和数据运营服务提供商,面向全球提供安防、可视化管理与大数据服务。
The 76xxNI-Ex firmware on the 'Overseas' site is here : Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd.
And the EU site here : DOWNLOAD PORTAL
But if you stick to the web GUI update - it should reject the incorrect firmware.

I might have added the overseas part after the fact, but I'm 99.9999% sure the rest is the original file name. Thanks, for the feed back, gives me hope for taking the plunge

My NVR model DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P version is "V3.4.91 build 161220" NVR are hung one times around 2 or 3 day. In this NVR hung we can ping these NVR IP but we can't call GUI from any browser and record also can't record. We saw " Local: Abnormal Shutdown" log in these NVR. After reboot the NVR we can go inside of NVR from GUI and record are work normal.
Previous I think our NVR hung by hot and happen CPU issue so we did NVR relocation to cool area and not put any box we put on table. But NVR are still hung two or three day per times.
How should we do? That is effect by firmware issue or not.
If this issue by firmware which firmware version is stable in this NVR model.

One of my NVRs is still running this firmware and has never rebooted or frozen, but it was the same with all other versions of firmware installed over a couple of years.
The problems you are seeing may be something to do with how it's being used.
For example - how many cameras, and what bitrate they are set to, and what type of recording is being used.
Maybe experiment with changing something to see what happens if anything.

Worth checking also is whether the HDD SMART detail shows any counts that indicate any problems.

I've experienced numerous "Abnormal Shutdown" events when using regular hard drives. Switched to WD Purple drives and I haven't had to reboot my 7616 ever.

We used full port in 8 channel NVR with 8 camera. Sometime NVR are work normal one week after that hung again sometime two times NVR hung per days previous I think this is NVR issue but other cctv also happen this issue. Which config need to change? Please help to explain.

OK, so the NVR is fully loaded.

The first thing I'd try changing as an experiment would be the bitrate on the cameras, especially if it is set high.
Also if the framerate is high, maybe try changing that to a lower value.
