    Hikvision NVR creates "ngtest" backdoor user on managed camera's

    It's normal with a new unused Hikvision camera, in 'inactive' mode, to be 'activated' when connecting to an NVR PoE port that's in plug&play mode to be activated by the password that's set for this purpose in the NVR configuration. But that's usually applied against the admin user. If you've...

    Hikvision NVR creates "ngtest" backdoor user on managed camera's

    Hikvision NVR creates "ngtest" backdoor user on managed camera's

    Hikvision ds-7616nxi-i2/16p/s factory reset?

    Hikvision ds-7616nxi-i2/16p/s factory reset?

    Often, but not always, a reset can be effected via the serial console. What's possible varies with the model, firmware, manufacture date etc. The Hikvision tftp updater can't be used because it has a filesize limit of 32MB. The Scott Lamb Python2 clone gets round this...

    Bricked my NVR by updating from very old firmware straight to latest one.

    That looks perfect - well done! I generally use the web interface as the most common reason I have for reviewing playback is to see events on an NVR that is configured for event-only recording. I have 2 NVRs connected to the same cameras, the other one is configured for continuous recording...

    No big deal - TX-, TX+ That will not cause damage either.

    DS-2CD2135 firmware upgrade

    Yes, I'd guess it has the 'Dieter & Fiona' hacked to English firmware that if upgraded would stop the device working.

    Xmeye NVR DVR Board

    They sell loads of different models - without knowing which one, I doubt there is much help that can be offered to you. What details can you provide? Including the camera types and specs.

    "Time out" Activation camera

    Yes, they are. Dumb question - but presumably all you attempted was to provide a strong password, applied in SADP?
