Why upgrade it?

If you bought it from HK it will be a chinese version, updating it with an international firmware will most likely brick it. I would not even try it unless you know what you are doing.

I took a gamble and upgrade it after reading a few more thread and it works perfect no issue

Firmware Version V3.4.91 build 161220

Hi binh25, I'm in the same situation with a DS-7604N-E1/4P. Can you share some details? Which FW did you use, English or Multi Language?

 

[binh25]

I used English one, the upgrade is fairly smooth, didn't encounter any issue, after the upgrade, reboot, done and I did over the Web GUI not at the terminal

Thanks for the tip. Tried the English FW using the browser. No luck, got the upgrade failed message.

Multiple sources for the firmware choice - which did you try?
Only if your NVR is EN region - DOWNLOAD PORTAL

Yes, that is the same source as the OP.

My NVR was bought via aliexpress a couple of years ago. I was previously able to upgrade the FW to V3.1.0 build 150511 from the Hikvision US site. With that one success, I also tried NVR - DS-76xxNI-E1(E2)P_Firmware_v3.4.3_160822 from the US site also with no luck.

My NVR was sourced from aliexpress, but the menus are in English. Is that what you mean?

Also, I find it strange that I was originally able to load FW from the US site...

It's the region / language code that's built in to the flash area that holds the hardware configuration.
Also the group of 4 letters in the serial number can be an indication.

Can this be read via telnet or some other means? What is the command?

Which part:
DS-7604N-E1 / 4P**********AARR*********WCVU
