Well done for getting it back into a working state.Was able to use HIKTOOK.exe and tftp server to dial back the firmware.... Hopefully find a tried and true upgrade path here for this older unit...
Thank you Penhead.
Thought I would share that as I read that the newer firmware would lock out downgrades, though for whatever reason if you brick your older NVR like myself you have pretty
smooth avenue back... little letdown as I was kinda psyched about getting out my serial cable though
Any idea how the US firmware GUI compares with what the Europeans/Chinese have? There a way to use the Euro firmware on US machine?
