HikVision NVR DS-7816N-K2 Language Change

[grocker]

Hi All...

I recently purchased the above mentioned NVR. As I live in China, the firmware software is in Chinese. The problem is I can't read Chinese and need the firmware language to be in English. I have been in contact with the seller and they said there isn't an english firmware version for this NVR. I have read on this forum that I might be able to get a "hacked to English" version, but I have no idea where to look.

Where might I find an English version of the firmware?
Or are there any other possible solutions?

If the access is mainly for configuration work to be done in English, and you can make do with Live View / Playback in CN, then it would be worth looking at the 'Batch Configuration Tool' : Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd.

I have tried the tool you mentioned, works great, thank you soo much.
I have the whole system setup and running.
I'm sure I can navigate my way around the Live View and Playback in Chinese. If I struggle and cant figure things out, I'll have a look around for software that can connect to the NVR and can do what I need.
