Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

[jd39]

Your build number indicates a 2015 released firmware.
The earliest firmware version I have is 2.3.3 build 130604 from the USA FTP portal of around 2015 (meaning released in 2013, just when the SE/P series was rather popular.
The earliest firmware from the European portal was 2.3.7 build 131112 (also released in 2013).
So you are asking for an earlier version (2.2.5) with a later year build date (2015). It seems confusing. Where have you seen this strange firmware version?

It came with my NVR - serial: DS-7608NI-SE/P0820151207BBRR559408284WCVU

Half briked my NVR : DS-7608NI-SE/P - Tried upgrading NVR from V2.2.5 build 150421 to V2.3.12 build 160622 (US)

Coming from a Uniview background with seamless upgrade experience I didn't realise how careful you need to be with Hikvision stuff

If it is not broke do not fix it.
If there is not a specific problem you are having that needs to be fixed by the specific upgrade do not up grade the firmware. There are 100s of posts about people who have bricked there cameras and NVRs trying to upgrade. This is not a PC or Mac, it does not need to be upgraded.

All the above are only for the DS-76XXNI-SE/P models.
As you should know, the versioning and management of firmware versions in the various HIK sites was and it still is a mess. Hence, the so many firmwares I have gathered over the years from the various sites.

Which one would you like?

Good day aster.I came accross your post here and hope you can help. I have an old NVR Model: DS-7608NI-SE/P . I have read up on how to read the serial number which is in the attached image together with the firmware version it had on before I buggered it. I have tried to upload US version software via tftp in this link Assistance with Legacy Firmware (Hikvision)
but it got rejected and then bricked the bastard. So I can only assume because my serial number have the RR it means region unspecified and I have to change this firmware file somehow to show as RR or region unspecified? Would my assumptions be correct and if so I just need a bit of guidance please. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. I am new to NVR. I want to monitor my home at a low cost. I have a ds-7608ni-se device. Is the firmware for ds-7608ni-se the same as for ds-7608ni-se / p? I know the difference between the ds-7608ni-se (no PoE) ds-7608ni-se / p (it has PoE switch). I need access from the android platform.

In the past I have posted that the DS-760XNI-SE(P) is very finicky when communicating with the PC that has the TFTP server. Try to find my posts. I have recovered my personal same model several times from apparent brick states. Connect the NVR and the PC with the TFTP server ONLY to an un-managed switch. Do not connect any other devices to the switch. Follow the instructions of the TFTP server. In my old posts I have described the messages that the TFTP Client in the server is sending and expecting.
