    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Just tried the web GUI and it seems to be normal... except that when I tried to export the device parameters (as a download file) that triggered a reboot. When it had fully rebooted I tried again and got the same result. Also, the system time is an hour ahead despite me having DST turned off...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    At the moment I've not logged in to see the web GUI, but the local UI seems to be as expected. EDIT navigating in the browser to the Web GUI and it does bring up a login screen, though I have not gone any further on that as yet __ As for "actually working", it still seems to have a fairly...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Doing the firmware transfer has gone through but it still does the reboot loop. At one point it shows a prompt for a list of the system commands, and these are what comes up: Enter 'help' for a list of DVR/NVR system commands. # psh open !!! ----------<1> tar all res ---------- cpu_name...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Doing a system restart from having erased the environment variables is still causing a reboot loop... but with a boat load more feedback through the terminal software to the point where there is a considerable lag. Also, the screen resolution still changes from 1024x768 to 1920x1080 during boot...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Yesterday I put in a replacement capacitor, at the same value as all the ones around it (bit of a guesstimate there, but worth a crack) - and I also noticed that the connection for the capacitor also included a link through from the topside of the motherboard to the underside and yet part of the...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    I've only just seen your reply, so I'll have a look at this either during the daytime or on sunday. I've had the motherboard out though, as I was going to go over it with a magnifying lens to see if there was a cracked solder joint or similar.... and it looks as if somebody has been at this...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    well thanks for helping up to this point anyway. If it had been doing this loop right from the outset then it would have been easier to write it off, but because it had originally started up and got to the grid screen (complete with a password reset) it's annoying for it to now be pretty much...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Turns out I had made a note of the firmware when I first got the NVR - 4.61.020.... I have tried flashing that version back onto the NVR, it went through OK but still got the same reboot loop. I have then tried flashing firmware 4.61.025 onto it... again, the update went through fine but it is...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Right well I just had a sudden DING moment and tried a little alteration.... I have opened up the NVR case and unplugged the 5-pin lead that goes from the inside of the Serial port, turned it roud, and plugged it in the other way; then I have the USB-Serial converter plugged in directly without...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    I have the Null Modem Cable and the USB-to-Serial (CH340) converter all plugged in to the NVR. Windows device manager shows the CH340 as plugged into COM5 (I changed it to a USB directly on the motherboard). Open PuTTY, input the required settings under the "session" tab with the 'Serial' box...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Right well I've given it a try with the current cable and got nowhere. Windows Device Manager shows the cable as working properly under "Ports (COM & LPT)" with it's proper name "USB-SERIAL CH340" and shows it being on COM4. Started PUTTY and set that to serial and with the required...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    It's a CH340 type cable, if that means anything... hardware ID details being "VID_1A86&PID7523&REV_0254".... just been hunting for drivers to get it working. I believe it's most likey a standard cable not a null modem one - if you're thinking the same thing then I'll order a null modem cable...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    I ordered one so that the 9-pin end would be the right gender to fit into the NVR.... I suppose I can connect it up and see if any data comes through, if not then I'll get a null modem cable too

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Right I see, so kinda similar to a LAN crossover cable, but with a few extras. The USB-RS232 converter I got didn't say specifically that it acts as a null modem, but the listing mentions "Support automatic handshake protocol" though I suspect that's a variation of plug and play.

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    The USB to RS-232 cable has arrived this morning (quicker than I expected, for once). What would the null modem cable be needed for? The NVR is currently next to the PC which I'll be using for debugging, so wouldn't it simply be a case of using the USB to RS-232 cable to connect the PC to the...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    I do already have a USB-to-serial converter, but it's a male D-SUB because I'd got it for another piece of equipment... so I'll be getting one with a female end later today (and then with Royal Mail speed it'll probably be next saturday before it comes at the soonest!)

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Hello, I recently purchased from house clearance a Hikvision DS7708NI-I4/8P NVR for part of a potential system upgrade. The unit had been password locked but I resolved that with the XML file reset method sent from tech support. The unit came without a HDD and so I installed a spare 2TB seagate...

    Update Gone Wrong - Possibly Bricked

    A small update on the situation... doing an nmap scan of 192.168.1.108 using standard "-p-" command brings up a dead result. doing the command "nmap 192.168.1.108 -Pn" brings the following result: " Nmap scan resport for 192.168.1.108 Host is up (0.0019s latency). Not shown: 999 filtered TCP...

    Update Gone Wrong - Possibly Bricked

    Hello, I am new here but have tried for an answer elsewhere and had no replies.
