Instructional video guide on how to upgrade firmware on a Hikvision camera directly using the cameras web browser interface. To upgrade the firmware of a Hikvision DVR/NVR, first download the appropriate firmware from here. (Note: The firmware are region specific. Upgrading firmware developed for another region may cause damage to your product.) Once the firmware is downloaded, extract (unzip) the contents of the.zip file onto a USB flash drive. The.dav file is composed of multiple archives which need to be decompressed. Hello, I have an old DVR which I tried to upgrade to the latest firmware. I requested the firmware for my device from a representative of the company and it was sent to me via email. I unzipped the file, copied it on a USB stick and flash it on my DVR through it's interface. The process completed successfully and the DVR rebooted. Since then DVR is in a constant boot loop. I tried unplugging the cameras, booting it up without the hdd installed, removing the battery from the main board so that it will reset to factory settings, used a power supply from a friend that has a working DVR but nothing worked. I went from a functional device to a device I can no longer use. Please find the link to the firmware provided as well as a short video I made that illustrates the exact process of the boot loop. Firmware: Video: PS: please lower your audio level while watching the video because the dvr speaker beeps very loud. Boot loops are built into the firmware and can be triggered by many things - you'd only be able to know what by connecting to the serial console of the DVR. Common on the newer NVRs are trying to put EN firmware on a CN device, for example. This is the 'official' firmware - which may well be the same as that which your seller supplied - same rev and build date, not sure about the language though. It may be worth trying it with the tftp updater. *edit* But here is some older firmware that the readme.txt suggests would fit your model - may be worth trying. Thank you for your reply. The 'official' firmware is the same as the one I flashed on the device, including language (verified with hiktools- EN/ML). I tried the tftp updater but it did not work, it only showed 'TFTP server initialize' ( I did change the computer IP to 192.0.0.128 and connected it directly to the ethernet port on the device). I read on the forums that the TFTP update utility has some issues with windows 10 and unfortunately the computer I tried it on has windows 10, as well as all the other computers that I have available.

I will give it a shot with the older firmware, see if that is of any help. I am not sure how I can connect to the serial console of the DVR but I am willing to give it a try if you can help me with some advice. I do not know if I have a CN device and not sure how I can find this out but the odds of it being CN are small, in my opinion, since the device was bought from a local retailer in my country (Romania, Europe) At the moment I am also awaiting a response from hikvision support regarding this issue. I will post here if I receive any helpful answer. This was a useful post on the components needed to connect to a serial console: The assumption is that your 'classic' DVR has such a facility. Yes, the tftp updater has been known to be troublesome under Win10. And also when directly connected - just with both wired as normal to your switch or router should work OK. But changing the firmware being offered won't fix an inability to connect to the tftp updater.
