Success. I was able to reach the camera's menu and disable the switch to night mode.
I boosted WDR to about 85 and got a very decent image with street lights.
Thanks for your help everyone.
I'm trying to set up remote viewing of the NVR/cameras. I don't understand why my NVR constantly shows...
I've logged into the NVR camera configuration, but the IP address of the cameras show up as grey, not a clickable blue link.
I've tried two browsers (Firefox and IE). Neither shows a clickable link.

Thanks for the help shaoalan79.
I just requested an unlock from the seller. I will keep the NVR on until I receive it.
They requested an XML file, but the SADP that installed with my Hikvision tools (v 1.2.1.2) only outputs Excel (XLS) files. I suspect they both contain the same information...
I'm waiting to hear back from the seller. I contacted Hikvision too, but the customer service representative refused to help me since I didn't buy the NVR from one of their authorized distributors.
Same problem here. DS 7616NI-E2/8P (US version) working fine and connected to camera. After successfully changing to firmware 335 build 151127, the Admin name became garbled text, and the password I set no longer works. Also, it added about 30 users with garbled names. All the standard admin...
