hahahaha nice solution. They are difficult to reach for clean, but if you want to move them with a beam (for a not dome one) it is not that difficult... Anyway this is an example of what is the issue:

Hi all, I am having an issue with all my 7 hikvision dome cameras, there are mounted outside my house. They are working just fine, but the glass of the dome is getting dust on it that, when with dark the infrared is on, il making the image very unclear. I can not see almost anything and I have...

I have to search for it. May I ask why?

Have someone tried to upgrade it to an NVR with hex 02? I am having 7616N-E2 with v3.0.8 firmware. It is in english, but I have done the backup of it and I have noticed that it is a chinese version, so in the past I have been told to not try to upgrade it, due to the high risk to brick it and...

Ok I have used putty and I copied the part that putty keep in buffer (so it is not reflecting the complete output of that command). No errors there so far. I have formatted this morning the HDD, but I have just received another email alert about the HDD error. As usual, nothing on the log via...

Hi alastairstevenson, so first of all the SMART check is not related to the email alert, I have checked the timestamp and they are different. Then, I have tried to save on a file the output of that command with the wording 'cat /proc/kmsg > info_file' but it is not working (it seems to do...

My firmware version is 3.0.8, modified by the seller (as I have discovered when I was hoping to upgrade it). On the log session I can see just this event (as well as access login): 2 2015-10-19 01:23:48 Information S.M.A.R.T. Information 2 0.0.0.0 It is quite strange, because I don't have...

Well, the HDD is brand new, it has maybe 2 months. I am not where the NVR is located, so I can not see if it "beep like crazy". Yes, I do have HDD Overwrite enabled. There are no error messages on the NVR interface, I can login inside via web interface with no issues. Do you reccomend me to...

Hello all, I am having some issues with the NVR 7616N (firmware 3.0.8). I have setup an email account for notifications and I am receiving 2-3 times in a day the following message: This is an automatically generated e-mail from your NVR. EVENT TYPE: HDD Error EVENT TIME...

oh no, so I will be stuck with the version 3.0.8 that I am having right now? I really need to find a way to save screenshot (1 a second for example) from my camera to a cloud or ftp, and this firmware does not offer me this possibility. Right now I am recording 24h in the NVR, but if someone...

Ok, I have done the backup of mtdblock0, mtdblock1, mtdblock2. I have analyzed the mtdblock0 and it sounds that my NVR is in chinese version: even if with getHardInfo I was having english version (the manufacteur have clearly changed it). Now, I understand that I can not follow anymore this...

I think I have found my answer: byte 0x2E010 in mtdblock0 (this is the definitive value) 1=English/ML, 2=Chinese :)

This is a great tutorial! @alastairstevenson how can I read the hex, as you said? I understand that I do need to read the file mtdblock0, but what is the value there that say to me the official language? Thanks

I actually would like to not have emails, but on an FTP or so an upload of images... I just can not find the area where I can setup the NVR...

well, it is because I am planning to spend a weekend on my parents house, where the NVR is located. What is driving me really crazy is that I have got another reply from Lulia Li of CCTV CAMERA CHINA: So disappointed with this vendor! There is actually another reason why I should move from...
