Hello does any one know how I can force my dvr (Model TV-700-8D) to accept fresh copy of its firmware. The box will not boot correctly and there is no display so I cant use the upgrade option?

Tried different hd but no different! May have to get a new one. Was looking at the Aver Digi Nano 8 ch as recommended by some here!

Does anyone have any ideas please ????

It was working for over a year. I bought it from a company called Inesun and the manufacturer is Shenzhen Techvision Co.,Ltd. It turns on and hard disc sounds and on the front panel the power light comes on and when a network cable is inserted it flickers on the board and on the front panel. Have it connected to my Samsung lcd tv for over a year. I have also tried the video out but get no display? It would normally bleep when started up but it does not so I am guessing either there is a board fault or hopefully the software is stuck somehow? To answer your other question the unit alarm sounded and then re-booted it self a few times. I wondered if the hard disc needed formating so I ran the option to clear it. Was Working then next day it was showing the screen with the message H.264. re booted then no screen since.

Hi, Its a standalone dvr! I have opened it up and it has a main board with network, 2xusb, alarm connections and pc monitor connection. A hard disc, a separate board for the camera connections and front panel board !

Ok thanks, That's good to know. Actually as I read the manual it says it allows the following Encoding size: CIF/Half D1/D1. I am hoping there is a way to force the dvr to accept a fresh version of its firmware/software! or if there is secret key press that will make it boot!

Hello I have a 8 Channel DVR that I bought on Ebay. It was working fine until the other day. It Is set to record automatically and I noticed it would sound an alarm as if a camera was disconnected every now and then. Then I noticed it was re-booting some times. A Few days ago I checked it and it was stuck on the start up . screen displaying H.264. I Re started it and now it will not show anything. There is no video output either via the pc lead or via av lead. The Unit starts and the hard disk runs. The light on the front lights and when you connect a network cable the network light begins to flicker etc. Even the shift button displays a lighted led to indicate the shift key. I have a disc with "Update Software" on it along with dvr manual etc. I have tried to load the update software to a usb stick and after turing off with pen inserted to load new files but nothing happens. Also read somewhere to try to disconnect hard disc and load the update software but no difference. I have emailed the company were I got it but no reply as yet!!!! If anyone has any ideas I would be realy grateful. Thanks

thanks but its more than a year old now! What are cif units ?
