It may be best to work on the basis that you can't.So question is, how do I change the region code of the NVR?
It may be best to work on the basis that you can't.
How do you know it is Chinese if you haven't bought it yet? Did the seller say so?
Both my 7816N NVRs are Chinese region, but English menus, from the firmware that's installed, and work just fine with region-changed-to-English cameras.
Which they didn't if the NVR firmware was Chinese only.
You are correct, it shouldn't.So your chinese region NVR works with your english region cameras? But that shouldn't work, should it?

I would recommend buying the ds-7108n/sn/p not 7104 it's a good little NVR and cheap on Ali $110 delivered
And you could use this firmware which will change it to English / multi-language (from Chinses) if the firmware 3.10 or less you can install it from a USB, if it's the newer made model you will have to tftp on but that simple enough.

The firmware will work on both 7104 and the 7108, hope this make it a bit easier for you.
I have upgraded FW to 3.13.If you upgrade to 3.13 you can change it, as 3.13 allows you to custom the setting...
What firmware is on the camera's??
