@ip_poe & @d.lux Success! I lined up a second PC and was able to load the fw on the NVR. I got stuck in a reboot loop every 2-3 min like @Levin83 earlier, but used the thumbdrive method to recover. Once running stable, I found one more update for a december 2019 FW update, applied it, and...

@d.lux & @ip_poe still no luck. tried leaving the nvr off for 1-2 minutes unplugged then running the steps. I am using the 200+ MB file (dated 02/08/2019) I looked at the other 4 files available on dahua's website, but they are all ~50mb and just bin files, so I don't think they'll work for...

@ ip_poe Do you have the 8 or 16 channel LeChange NVR? I'm running the 16 channel Do you have the latest LeChange Firmware installed? (I believe there was one firmware update before they called it quits, attempt the auto update feature while the NVR is online) I believe I have the latest...

@d.lux I tried all your suggestions and no success :( 1) moved the folder to c:\ and checked all the permissions. No change.. same time out issue. 2) moved the static IP to x.1.155 and rebooted multiple times. No change. same behavior/timeout as before. 3) disabled ipv6 @ip_poe no luck with...

Ok, in addition to what I noted above.. I added a dumb switch between the NVR and PC. No change in behavior.. the screens looked & behaved exactly like when the PC and NVR were directly connected. I also noticed some more details around the custom-x bin file failing to transmit. Attached is a...

Ok @d.lux & @ip_poe 1) I turned off my antivirus and firewalls. 2) i checked the ID file and confirmed no spaces (eventhough it looks like there are...) 3) I recreated the ID file on my PC in notepad to ensure proper formatting. 4) checked the spelling of the custom-x bin file name to make...

@d.lux Attached is my ID file. I have been direct connecting the PC to NVR via a cat5 cable. I will try an add the unmanaged POE switch I just got for the cam upgrade. I don't have wireshark figured out yet, perhaps you can clue me into what I need to do to generate something you can look at?

@ip_poe In response to your suggestions: 1) I added failed.txt as suggested. Now I get "1 block served" instead of failed. (progress I guess?) 2) Attached is a pic of my root directory. (I just 'extracted' the firmware file, was I supposed to move the bin files into the "bin" directory, or...

I'm closer, but still no dice.. I changed to a static IP with all the changes noted earlier.. (see second pic) I also got a pc I have admin rights to, and made the changes to the NIC card (again "option 2") and hardwired it straight to the NVR. I can log into the web console using the static IP...

afaik the PC network card was setup exactly like the instructions. I'm lining up a loaner laptop with full admin privileges to eliminate that variable from the equation. Once I have that, I'll ensure it's setup as instructed.. Quick question in the meanwhile.. 1) is my actual NVR address ok...

Thanks ip_poe So I'm indeed getting stuck at step 1. I changed the NVR from DHCP to static and setup the following addresses. IP Address: 192.168.86.44 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 I can hit the web log in via 192.168.86.44 when the NVR is plugged into my network...

Hi all, been a lurker for a while. I don't have much networking experience, which I think is causing my problem.. I'm trying to cross flash my NVR, and following the steps as noted above, but am getting stuck. When I open the TFTP/Console.bat files, they start "listening". once I reboot my...
