The forum here is very helpful and informative, so hopefully someone can assist me.
I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P 3.495. Build 170626, Serial number DS-7608NI-I2/8P0820170815CCRR815181497WCVU. Running 1 4tb WD purple drive
It has some problems and I would like to try and upgrade the firmware.
I had a problem with the video freezing in live view, but not all windows at the same time.
When I did the factory default reset, the NVR would not proceed without input of a new password and I have read that having passwords previously previously stored before the upgrade is what can cause the upgrade to fail.
Strangely after imputing all passwords and settings without upgrading the firmware, the NVR now operates perfectly and no longer freezes, has sluggish performance or fails to be accessed by my indoor station like it was before.
The other weird thing is that although all passwords etc were wiped, the line crossing and intrusion areas were still present as before the reset, but email settings were gone.
I have downloaded many version of the firmware and have been hesitant to try the upgrade due to many who have bricked their NVRs doing the upgrade.
I purchased the unit in Australia but have no way of verifying the region that the NVR originally was flashed for. The earliest version I have after mine is 4.160.
Can someone recommend a version that will be the least likely to brick the unit when upgrading from 3.495?
Hikvision state that you can go straight to 4.5x so I am wondering if that is better than starting at 4.16x where users have bricked their NVRs before me.
The only issue I have now apart from running early firmware is that when I add the door station as an IP camera it crashes the NVR. I did have this working for a couple of days once but it crashes now pretty much straight after the door station is added.
I can see the door station in IVMS, and hikconnect over wifi and internet but not on the NVR.
Hope that makes sense and someone can offer some insight.
