NVR ds-7608ni-i2/8p firmware upgrade gone wrong.
- Thread starter monaro
- Start date
I updated my NVR from V4.4.015 to V4.60.005 yesterday and it only remembered half the details on re-boot. I had to re enter all hik-connect details, alert email addresses and camera intrusion detector parameters etc. V4.60 is dated 07/03/2023 so not that old really. I would try and find out what's been rolled out in the update, see if it's worth the risk.

Yes, annoyingly a few firmware versions around that one reset the configuration to default values as part of the update process.
I don't recall seeing that mentioned in any release notes.
My camera's still seems to be working fine on the old V4.50.005, so I'll just sit this firmware update out, given what's happened to you. After reading this other ipcamtalk thread, I'm thinking it could be a consensus amongst others in the same situation. I'm not saying I wont update ever again. But only if I'm forced to if somethings not working properly. Here's the other thread illustrating that point... Hikvision NVR FW upgrade
Region locked firmware seems to be the main thing to watch out for with the NVR's. Mine was bought in Australia and I came unstuck updating it to overseas firmware. (Now it's locked to overseas firmware and Australian firmware doesn't work!)
