+1 ! I still want to get rid of this crap LaView firmware but am hesitant until someone with more experience does it before me.

+1 I also have LaView NVR & cameras and would love to convert to Hikvision firmware.

I had to do it with LaView tech support.

So far no responses. I currently have my NVR system up and running with the LaView firmware. It seems okay but since I haven't seen the Hik firmware I really don't know the benefits. You know the saying....I don't know what I don't know.

Just ordered the following from Best Buy to try out.... HDMI-to-RCA Converter RCA-to-COAX RF Modulator Only $75 and if it's a failure easy to return. Not sure how the quality will be but it's worth a shot. The next option is a $450 HDMI-to-QAM Modulator.

True. All these ideas are very good but I'm on a tight budget and just want to keep the wife happy by having an easy way for her to view the outside cameras.

Good idea with the splitter unfortunately the TVs are too far from the NVR to run HDMI cables. Going over coax is the best option for me.

Just wondering if any LaView owners have tried this?

I have a dome camera mounted under my soffit and I'm getting IR glare which I think is coming from the soffit. Is there some material that would absorb IR so it doesn't reflect back to the camera? (paint, paper, foam...)

So I've finally got my NVR set up with 4 cameras. Now I would like to broadcast the output to all of the TVs in my home as cheaply as possible. I'm thinking that an RF modulator would do the job but I have a few questions. If anyone has done this already, or if you have a better suggestion...

I have a LaView NVR and cameras and have read numerous threads about flashing the HikVision firmware over the LaView stuff. My question is... What's the benefit of doing this? Is it worth the risk? Is interface better than the crappy LaView stuff? Will the image quality be better?
