No clue. I just updated my cameras and NVR to the latest releases via their web interfaces from the Hikvision site firmware without any issues. NVR is at 3.4.3 build 170822 and cameras running V5.4.3 build 160705.

Glad to help out with the write-up. Yes, I have virtual host enabled so I created a route for the 192.168.254.0/24 camera subnet on my router using the gateway IP address of the NVR and can directly connect to the cameras now. As far as cables go, I bought this JBTek debug cable on amazon - if...

Tried your uploaded version twice on my DS-7608N-E2. I get as far as the web UI but couldn't login with the existing admin password or any of the defaults. I flashed twice, same problem. Not able to generate a working key for the pw reset tool either. Back to 3.3.6 for now.

So I got a little gutsy and tried to jump to 3.4.6 with the firmware posted in another thread; seemed to take the firmware fine from the web interface. All was looking good, box came back up to the web UI and was unable to login with the admin credentials. Tried my existing password before...

Just got my JST connectors in and was able to flash the LV-N9808C8E NVR with Hikvision 3.3.6 firmware! I'm happy to say the most painful part of this was stripping the wires on the JST connector down enough to get a good connection into the TTL connectors on the USB cable. I then rebooted the...

Of course! You need to set up the Hikvision TFTP server which is typically used for recovering bricked devices. While the process is fairly well documented around the interweb, I'll give the brief rundown. The tool is publicly available and Hikvision has the process documented in a PDF on their...

Good news for this thread! I was able to flash the LV-PB932F4 with the Hikvision DS-2CD2x10,2x20,2x 5.3.0 firmware successfully today on all 6 cameras. I used the TFTP method. I did not try it via the web UI functionality which may work, but I know the NVR can't be flashed to Hikvision firmware...
