Hi, I bought a Hikvision DVR last week and bricked it when I tried to update it with a wrong firmware. The problem is that when I use TFTP to recover it, it starts transmitting digicap.dav, and....starts again. And again. It keeps doing that. I have the 192.0.0.128 TFTP, and a successful ping on 192.0.0.64, but it keeps failing. Can you help me please?
My DVR is a DS-7208HGHI-F1

Thank you.

It's in a bootloop.
So it starts booting, hits a problem where it can't continue, resets/reboots and the cycle continues.
But without knowing what firmware you are trying to update it with, or what region the DVR is, it's hard to give useful guidance.
The non-CN firmware can be downloaded from here : DOWNLOAD PORTAL

That does appear to be the correct choice of firmware for the model quoted.
But it's quite an old version.

There are newer versions in amongst this lot :
