Wow, good information wcrowder, it is surprising the eval version would be slower, seems like it would discourage purchasing. I was estimating that I was going to max out the CPU with 8 camera's, and that was writing to disk. Don

It's as I expected, thanks whoslooking, at least I was able to upgrade to 3.15, and unbrick my NVR, such as it is, I will let it limp along using only half of the resolution of the camera's. I suspect I will eventually upgrade to BI, and although a new Hikvision NVR might be less expensive, BI...

I just tried updating to version 3.3.2_50522_Multi-lingual, below is the tftp log. When I try using the NVR upgrade I get the "Upgrade failed, firmware missmatch" [2015-11-06 23:34:20] TFTP server [127.0.0.1] initialized [2015-11-06 23:34:33] TFTP server [127.0.0.1] initialized [2015-11-06...

Thanks Reeves, I tried upgrading to firmware 3.3.4 3 times, twice by using tftp it seemed to work, but each time my nvr restarted it was still running 3.0.15. I tried again using the update program on the NVR, via the flash drive, and it indicated it was incompatible. I suspect that the...

So, I now have upgraded to Version 3.0.15_150528, and although the NVR recognizes the the new DS-2CD2142-FWD-IS cameras, as with the earlier version 2.3.11_150625, it still doesn't recognize video stream over the 1920x1080. For the time being, I'm going to leave my 4MP at 1920x1080, and watch...

Thanks for the help all, it kept me moving forward until I got the tftp working, apparently my apple rounter (Time machine) doesn't play nice with tftp. A friend loaned me a cisco router, and that cleared up the problem. I first moved the latest firmware that I had working 2.3.11_150625, the...

Thanks reeves, order some from Ali express.

Thanks for that information about the 1.5 mm pitch, I'm trying to locate one, any suggestions? Altastair, I tried several hours last night, and was unable to get even get the tftp to get past initialize, so I had really hoped that the problem was with the apple routers IP address, guess my...

Thanks whoslooking, I'm also working on the tftp process, but since I have the apple timecapsule as a router, it defaults to 10.0.1.1, and changes my PC to 10.0.1.5, if I change it to the IP address that the nvr looks for, my connection my pc is no longer connected to the router. It was late...

Alistar, This looks like it may be what I'm looking for, its all in one usb serial connector:http://ameridroid.com/products/usb-uart-module-kit2 . Any thoughts? Don

Thanks!, if it works the ttl serial converter will be worth $300 to me if it helps fix my NVR. All I need now is to determine the molex connector that I need. Thanks again, Don

Alastair, I've been reading a lot about on this forum about updating via the serial connection. I saw one pic that you showed connecting wires directly to the nvr, while others show they use a molex, however they were using it on a camera. I guess I should start at the basics. 1> I have...

Thanks fenderman, I'm just setting up my system, and its nice to have a base line, I have i7-4770, 16gb, ssd, 4tb HD, using a eval copy of BI4. I have 3x4mp, and 1x3mp Hikvision cameras at this time, using direct to disk and I'm hitting about 35% CPU, I have 2 more 4mp and on 3mp camera to...

Thanks Alastair, I will give your suggestions a try. I tried leaving my connection on, but I'm connect via wifi to my apple timecapsule (router), and when I'm connect to it, the tftp uses that IP address. So should I connect with an ethernet cable to the apple router, and the router to the...

Thanks everyone for their help, I tried tftp last night, this is the process I'm using and my poor results so far. 1> I downloaded the correct version of tftp, placed the files in c:\Auto Update folder. 2> I moved the digicap.dav file to c:\Auto Update folder...

Thanks for the advice, I will at least use Blue Iris until I get my NVR going again... by then I should know which path to go. I tend to be leaning toward Blue Iris, seems like it is future proof, I have an I7 now, so I don't think my 7 camera's will hurt it much. Don

Thanks fenderman, I did upgrade my firmware to 2.3.11 today without a problem... Someone from another site sent me a link to version 3.0.15_15028... unfortunately that bricked my nvr... or at least I think so. I upgraded it without a problem, but during the reboot, it beeped twice, a minute...

I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-SEP firmware 2.3.11_150625. I purchased and new Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-IS camera firmware V5.3.3 build 150630. I'm only able to get the NVR to recognize the camera, if it is set to a lower resolution of 1920x1080P, and will not access it if it is set to 2688x1520...
