Hello Everybody!

I've got the chineese Dahua NVR model DH-NVR1108HS.
Unfortunately it has only the chineese language both in monitor GUI and WebUI...
It comes with the firmware DH_NVR11xxHS_Chn_P_V3.210.0000.5.R.20160409
It is possible to flash any English versions of firmware from here: ftp:/ftp.asmnet.cz/Dahua/kamerove_systemy/_Firmware/01NVR/NVR11xxHS/
and the device still work, but it's impossible to see the correct names in the gui.
It looks like it couldn't read the key values from the English.txt file located in /usr/data/Data.
WebUI not working at all (seems the content of /mnt/web doesn't differs in Eng firmware from China version).

Please help if anybody knows the way to solve it!
 
Many of these devices are hard-coded to a region and trying to update it to a firmware for a different region may brick the unit. We see a lot of that here.

Your best bet is to contact the seller you got it from.
 
i got it from scapyard and i brned this image DH_NVR11xxHS_Eng_V3.215.0000000.0.R.171013 now its in engliish but its interfae is broken.
