Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

Oh and even if you do all that, the actual language flag is actually stored on a separate smart chip the kernel uses. And if you mess with it it will disable itself beyond even TFTP or UART recovery etc (same chip as in a credit card).

If you already have a camera from aliexpress that is hacked firmware I would just leave it alone.

If you got a camera from somewhere else and expected it to be multi language complain to whoever you got it from.

If you knowingly bought a camera that was Chinese or TFTP'd original Chinese firmware to it then I would just use Chrome for English menus - much easier :) These cameras are so cheap anyway they are not worth messing with.

It's all possible to change to english with past 5.4 cameras and also software will regognize as EU/US Camera.
The chinese do it all the time but the method or the firmware is not published because they want to keep it secret.

Yes those cameras are so cheap it is not worth messing arround. But in my opinion Hikvision sells the best cameras and rock solid cameras on the market and they are better then most 500 $ cameras.
 
Please help!
Decided to upgrade the firmware of DVR DS-7608N-E2/8P (China). After upgrading the DVR firmware is not loaded. On the screen a red square with the inscription HIKVISION.
 
It's hard to help without a bit more detail.
Serial number of the NVR - to indicate the region it was set to.
Version of firmware that was in it.
Version and download source of firmware that you applied to it.
Method of applying the firmware.
What if anything does SADP show for the NVR?
 
???? ??????????? ?? ?????? ????????????.jpgThe serial number is written on the sticker 548806357. The serial number in the window of device information (before update) 0820151023AARR548806357WCVU.
The firmware that was in it v3.3.4, Build 150616. The firmware I tried to install v3.4.62 Build 160503. Method firmware the USB interface.
Now SADP does not see it.
 
Tried to upload the firmware via TFTP server.
Connected the power cord to the DVR and the PC. Put the IP 192.0.0128 on your PC. Start the TFTP server. A window opens that says [2016-07-04 23:40:32] TFTP server[192.0.0.128] initialized. Turned on the DVR, nothing in the server window does not occur.
Tried to change PC IP to 192.0.0.64. When enabled, the DVR sends the packet.
 
when [2016-07-04 23:40:32] TFTP server [192.0.0.128] initialized
you shall reconnect DVR power supply
ip of your personal computer has to be 192.0.0.128
