    Replacement power supply for Hikvision NVR?

    Hi folks, Any tips on where I might be able to source a replacement power supply for our DS7716NI-E4 NVR? Upon opening up the NVR, I noticed the current PSU is an FSP350-20GSV, made by FSP Group Inc. Searching Google leads me to an obsolete Amazon UK listing and nothing else. I noticed that...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Thanks for the info! Yeah, that's what it was, the language check. Good to know, I might try to update the NVR firmware. Gotcha, let me fire up that camera to check what FW is on there. The camera is a few years old already...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Thank you sir! That's what the new version removed, line crossing... If I upgrade to 5.4.5 with your new tools, would I be able to downgrade back to 5.2.5? Yeah I'm not sure. Unfortunately just like the cams I think newer firmware removed features, like ONVIF to access graymarket Hik cameras...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Amazing work! I have a bunch of CN 2132 cameras running 5.2.5 EN still. If these cameras are behind an NVR which is only accessible on my LAN (no port forwarding, I can only access my cameras via my VPN server), is there any motivation to update to 5.4.5? I remember a while ago that some camera...

    Where to get replacement PSU for HikVision NVR?

    Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone here has a good source to get replacement internal PSUs for HikVision NVRs, like this guy in the top left: http://i.imgur.com/dQwHfUa.jpg I have a DS-7716NI and the PSU fan is ridiculously loud, much louder than a coworker's who just bought the same NVR. I'd...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    Whoops thought I was on the NVR thread. I'm eagerly looking for an update so that I can use TLS with SMTP, so yes, I need new firmware. How long have 5.2.5 folks left their firmware running continuously for? At the 6 month mark, 1 by 1 my cameras started freezing and needed a restart. I guess 6...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    I really hope the Chinese cameras on V5.2.5 are one day upgradeable to V5.4.0 - dang Google deprecated SSLv3 and forces TLS now for SMTP, which isn't supported on older firmware...

    Those don't look like Hong Kong addresses to me.

    Replacing Fan In Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR

    What about the fan inside the power supply? For me, that's by far the noisiest fan (with a high pitched whirr)

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    Yes Hik NVR + Hik cameras. So then why with that setting to include images (in Email settings) do I only get motion detection images by email? With the other two I don't get images, just the emails.

    How to tell if my NVR is a Hikvision Europe NVR?

    Hey folks, wanted to consider upgrading again - anyone else been trying this out? Also - has anyone upgraded to 3.4 and tried the intrusion detection / line crossing detection? Would like to know if it finally attaches an image (like motion detection does) if these are set on the NVR (and not...

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    Thanks! It looks like doing intrusion detection on the camera includes a photo in the email sent. However, I was doing motion/intrusion detection directly on the Hikvision NVR, which seems to only send a picture if I do motion detection.. I essentially have the same settings set up from my NVR..
