Hi,
I got a Hikvision DS-7608NI K2 NVR from auction which was password locked. When I started the NVR everything loaded fine till it asked for the password. I tried to get the password from Hikvision but the file they sent did not work. I could see the NVR on the network via SADP tool.
To reset the NVR I tried to upgrade the firmware via TFTP server. It was running V3.4.101_build180904. I thought ill upgrade to the next version up which was V3.4.102_build181123. This file was accepted by the NVR but not loaded into the firmware. I kept getting this from TFTP server.
TFTP server [192.0.0.128] initialized
Connect client success [192.0.0.64]Success
Start file transmitting[C:\TFTP-Update\digicap.dav]
Connect client success [192.0.0.64]Success
Start file transmitting[C:\TFTP-Update\digicap.dav]
Connect client success [192.0.0.64]Success
Start file transmitting[C:\TFTP-Update\digicap.dav]
I thought maybe I was using the wrong firmware. I tried to load the same version firmware currently on the NVR (V3.4.101_build180904) to see if that did anything but this was still the same. I then tried all newer firmwares but all of them did the same as previous. I then tried to downgrade the firmware to see if that did anything different but the same above cycle repeated. However, I was able to load and successfully transfer V3.3.9 bulid151228 English+ Multi-language firmware. In doing so, I bricked the NVR. I now get no video output. The NVR keeps rebooting on startup. I am still able to connect to the NVR via TFTP server. However SADP tool no longer picks up the NVR.
I am certain the NVR is international version and not Chinese version. There is no CH in the serial number. Any advice on how to unlock this? This NVR model does not have a serial port on the rear however does have a JP8 connector on the board, can I use this to gain serial port access to debug/load firmware on it?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks
