heres the instructions i wrote a while ago. Hope that helps you.

Hi Danny, You will need to serial into the motherboard buddy using a jst-sh TTL cable. You can get on ebay. Then you Do a control U during the boot process. From there you can erase the firmware and force tftp download.

the 3.4.80 from AL thanks AL hehehehehe

Here you go poor fella.... Remember you should do it via TFTP.

Can anyone modify this firmware 5.40.20 to have English menus , be a good challenge, Merry Christmas to you all. Happy new year 2017.

;) Enabler, Storm Hik HQ that's a good one . That's awesome lol Al, can we hack the firmware for English menus? So I can't update it via web interface to retain my English menus? :D:D:D:D Thanks for sharing the file, at least we got something to play with hehehe

I jumped from 3.4.62 to 3.4.80 ----> then to 3.40.90

Hi Al, For sure its a hacked Chinese firmware with English Menus. I reckon the seller has someone on the inside of hikvision hehehe. The current chinese firmware on hikvision chinese site is 5.3.8 for the 3xx5 model. I really want to use the H264+ encoding and play with H265+ hehehehehe.

Wozzzzzzza, I would not jump that much in firmware, do a gradual upgrade go in small increments before jumping to 3.40.90.

Hi Del Boy, Sorry I didn't make myself clear, Its the disk space savings with H265+ not implying about quality. You get the same quality at way less cost to storage. I really want to take advantage of H264+, my NVR won't playback H265 but can record H265.

wozzzzzza, You can upload the Chinese v3.40.90 via the web GUI and it will still retain the English language. I uploaded Alairstairstevensons modded v3.4.90 with the virtual server feature. thanks Al hehehe. Virtual server enables you to route to your internal camera's network 192.168.254.x...

No issues running smooth on v3.40.90

Hi All, I received two 4MP today from my seller (hes sik!) as it came with firmware version 5.40.20 for my DS-2CD3345 Turret Camera which doesn't even exist on the hikvision chinese site. Anyway I noticed it comes with SMART265 feature which is a new encoding of H265+ and the 4MP Camera...

Hi all, Today, the day my new replacement NVR arrived was the day I was able to unbrick my NVR via serial method dammmm :orange::orange::orange: ! Now I have a spare hehehehe. I just updated both units to firmware 3.40.82. Will test and let you know. So far it has more HDD features and stuff. J

Hi scn101, Try using the chinese firmware (cox your NVR is a chinese unit) thats what I used on my NVR but update it via the WEB GUI so the English language stays in tack. I bricked my NVR using the EU firmware big mistake. Waiting for my UART cables to unbrick my NVR.

Hi ibruce, If everything is working fine and perfect no need to upgrade coz you end up bricking your camera and NVR. You have the 3.4.62 which is good enough. Thats my recommendation and 2 cents worth hehehehe

Sorry, NO PTZ so can't comment. Only have 5MP and 4MP turret hikvision camera's. :)

hi all, This worked for me. I upgraded my Chinese NVR firmware 3.4.62 to lastest 3.4.80 via the Web GUI like "alastairstevenson" quoted. It keep the language in English. BUT do not reset to defaults as it will change your NVR to chinese. Perform at own risk! You live and you learn. I played...

Use "/" without the quotes then the folder name. E.g Foldername in Windows d:\Footage\Camera01 on the hikvision folder should be /Footage/Camera01

Hi all, For NAS share SMB/CIFS on windows 7, you need to setup sharing and grant a user RW permission. Then you go to the properties of the share folder and add the same user to the NTFS permission to all all permission on the folder. So you basically need to enable 2 things. Then you map the...

Hi Alastair, My NVR is a Chinese model DS-7608N-E2/8P has 8 x PoE ports. The Chinese firmware is for 78 series which worked when I flashed it to v3.4.0.80 . But after reset default it reverted to Chinese. I didn't export the config as I hadn't configured any cameras. Any chance I could import...

HELP! I accidentally did a restore to defaults and mine language is set to Chinese now!!!! Not happy. Beware not to reset to factory defaults. Anyone now or have a hacked chinese firmware that has the english language ? Anyone how how to hack it back to english ?

Proof is in the pudding ....
