Very strange. I did a factory default reset hoping to upgrade the firmware, but was hesitant due to having to input passwords before the upgrade. After re-instating my details, the NVR is now running perfectly and is rock steady and works well.

I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P 3.495. Build 170626 that has some problems and I would like to try and upgrade the firmware. I have downloaded many version of the firmware and have been hesitant to try the upgrade due to many who have bricked their NVRs doing the upgrade. I purchased the unit...

It is still not right and i can only do live view on my indoor station if I reboot the NVR, then I get error 10703. I am going to do a factory reset and upgrade the firmware. Hopefully not end up bricking the NVR

I changed the live view to sub stream and it no longer freezes and the detail seems to be acceptable. When I get the courage, I will still have a crack at upgrading the firmware.

After some more experimenting, I find that for some reason it works better in 5+1 mode than 2x2 mode. The largest screen seems to be around 30 seconds behind the smaller one, and if i view the live view on my phone over wifi, the picture is around 10 seconds ahead of the small screens on the VGA...

I am rebooting via the shut-down menu on the nvr. The freezing happens on 1 or more windows of a 4 screen matrix on a pc monitor connected to the nvr. After a period the frozen screen will update, and then another one will freeze. Remote view on hikconnect seems to be OK as does playback. When...

Just a quick update, I re-booted the nvr and withing a few minutes, the freezing started again and it is showing 2tb free in the HD menu.

I have had this NVR since 2018 and originally ran 2 1tb hard WD purple drives in it. I would occasionally freeze in the live view randomly in each of the 4 windows, but independently of each other. The work around I found for this was to re initialize one of the hard drives, and then it would...

BTW, if I click "Update" in my browser or IVMS, I get the reply, "not detect new version. the current version is the latest" Apparently ugrading from 3x to 4x can be a problem

That's great news and I at least know now that it is a firmware issue. now I have to decide whether I am prepared to brick the NVR as I can't get any info on the origin of the NVR as the seller is no longer on ebay as does not repond to emails. Did you do anything special when you upgraded the...

Thanks for the Reply Raven, I would be very interested in how you go with the firmware upgrade.Is the one you are upgrading on ver 4.1.11?

Hi Raven123, I spent a bit of time on this and never got anywhere. I even tried to get the door cam to work on onvif, but could not get that to work either. Everything works except getting the NVR to work with it. I thought it was not worth the risk to upgrade the firmware as the door cam is the...

I recently added an intercom kit, a Hikvision DS-KH6320-WTE1W with a DS-KD8003-IME1 door station to my house. I have been running a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P, Firmware V3.4.95 build 170626 since 2017 without issue. I have managed (after some serious battles) to get the intercom to work with...

Thanks for the reply, I have contacted Hikvision support who replied that I need to contact the dealer I purchased the NVR from. The dealer seems like he may be inactive now, but I am waiting for a reply. Where can I find the necessary steps to update the firmware to V4.x?

Hi, I have recently purchased a Hikvison intercom kit to connect with my Hikvison DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P NVR. The intercom kit is a DS-KH6320-WTE1W with a DS-KD8003-IME1 door station. My NVR is Model serial DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P0820170815CCRR815181497WCVU Firmware V3.4.95 build 170626 Encoding version...

I have a Hikvision DS 7608 with two 1Tb WD purple hard drives. At some stage generally after around 30-60 days the hard drives will not overwrite and the whole NVR slows down and will only record in fits and starts and even the live view stutters. If I run the drives in any configuration of...

If you can get an XML file from Hikvision USA, that will work fine. The thing you need to do is when you are using SADP and export the XML file, you need to leave everything connected and powered up till you import the new XML file from Hikvision. If you power down or disconnect the new XML file...

Yeah, and I took your earlier advice and set the cameras to "sub=stream", that helped as well.

I was running ivMS4200 on one of my PCs today and noticed it was totally maxed out on 100% cpu. After some research, I changed the play performance to "shortest delay", unticked "auto change stream type" and ticked "hardware decoding preferred" and the cpu came down to almost nothing. There seem...

Well, I got this sorted out. There is so much contradictory information. Previous versions has a verification code on the label, newer units have a user verification code. PPPoE was enabled and there was no info that this would cause problems so it took a long time to find this was a problem...

I have been trying for hours now to connect to hik-connect without success. I have a DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P V3.4.95. It would seem that all the youtube and tutorials are for earlier firmware and there are inconsistencies with what I am seeing in menus. Connecting through IE will not work with...

I am trying to get my head around what real performance I am going to get out of changing processor. I have a gen3 i7 laptop which is great but I want to upgrade my desktop and hopefully build some longevity into it. I am thinking i7, 16gb ram, but most info on the net revolves around this being...

Yeah, I know the laptop is old and under powered, but I was just hoping that A. I could put it to good use as a monitor and B. that it was something that I really did not care if it got damaged in the shed. (which is highly possible). I will look into upgrading everything.

I have varying PCs. Intel core2 quad 2.66ghz, but I have a laptop with Pentium3 500mhz that I used to use to monitor the cameras when i had an analog system when i was working in my shed. I can't get ivMS to run on that. It runs on my android tablet and phone, but they really get hot running it.

Is there a client that will show the output of the cameras that will run on a low spec PC. ivMS seems to be quite heavy on CPU and I was wondering if this is typical of IP cameras or if there was a more cpu friendly program that would enable live view only.

Hey fenderman, I agree about the walls, but how do you get around this as far as mounting and orientation go? To mount the cameras where they are away from the walls is going to be a problem if I want the same aspect.

I worked out how to log into my cameras and applied the backlight BLC area to center on one camera and right on the other and that made a big difference. Strangely the backlight settings had almost no effect on the two cameras that were working OK in low light

Thanks for the reply. I have tried unsuccessfully to log into my cameras and would appreciate a step by step instruction.
