    Drive failure with no error message. Failed to boot

    yeeep.. that didn't work. I tried using Hikvision's tFTP server, and that hit the 32MB limit... but I didn't give up. I found the tFTP server from Ph. Jounin and tried it out. I also saw a Python script that may have worked.... but I don't think I care enough to try to get my windows machine to...

    Drive failure with no error message. Failed to boot

    I think I'm going to attempt the upgrade again, like I did in this thread, since there is a newer version out... O.O Info for me to remember: I own the: Alibi ALI-NVR5116P and now the Alibi ALI-NVR5132P Which I think is the white labeled version of: Hikvision DS-7716NI-SP and Hikvision...

    Yes. It looks good to me. The local link to the cameras works after I enabled it.

    I was able to convert my white-labeled NVR from it's custom firmware to HIKVISION's original firmware. Using the 9-pin RS232 connection, I had to delete all partitions and then use TFTP to allow the HIKVISION firmware to rebuild it. Then once the firmware was loaded, I had to change the default...

    HikVision is sold OEM to many companies. Many companies white-label HikVision using their logo and support. They change the Serial and are given customized firmware that will only be used on the hardware that they have white-labeled. For instance, I have an ALIBI system made by SuperCircuits or...

    ucFTPd Hikvision DS-7700 strange behavior

    So I've read this thread about passive/active. FTP service on Hikvision 5.1.6 I stumbled upon this strange behavior on accident. When I successfully login, no matter if i toggle passive/active with the passive command, I usually don't get anything to list, until the third try. Anyone have any...

    devCfg.bin is probably it's own format, but clear text, no encryption. If you search for "admin" you will find the main admin account and the HEX pattern follows something like this..

    Drive failure with no error message. Failed to boot

    I thought something serious had happened to the NVR last night. I had just packed it away and put away my RS232 cable and to sleep. at 5am the device started beeping and rebooting every few minutes. This morning I turned on it's physical monitor to discover a blank screen - no video. Great... I...

    mounting an existing share is not working for one reason or another. alternatively I am using TFTP to send files and get files from a TFTP server i am running in Windows. The TFTP server that is working well for me is called TFTPD64 by Ph. Jounin TFTPD32 : an opensource IPv6 ready TFTP...

    From my own research, I'm fairly certain that the file containing the web configuration, including the usernames and passwords, is /dav2/devCfg.bin Dav0 and Dav1 are duplicate partitions. Dav2 is the third that is ... more interesting. It appears to be encrypted or at least a obscure obfuscated...

    Yeah, that's what I thought too.. I'm surprised I'm allowed straight in. It's the whitelabeled American company that uses HikVision hardware, their website is SuperCircuits.com and they sell HikVision under the name ALIBI. The firmware I used is this one: Firmware V3.1.1 Build 140710 Which is...

    I hope this is entertaining to someone. This forum is dead. I'm amazed I spent the last 4 days talking to myself in this thread... at least this ghost town has a good library. And... what do you know... now that I have downgraded to a previous firmware, I typed into the magic word, and im into...

    Hi. New to the forum. I have a working Hikvision DS-80139 which is a 16 port NVR. The system was originally sold by an American retailer.
