Hello everyone!
i have some questions about DH-NVR3216 . I bought it in China (i live here now) and it was in Chinese.
i have asked the supplier for English firmware and he gave me this firmware:
General_NVR3xxx_Eng_P_V2.616.0000.0.R.20140110.zip (56618kb)
However he said that if i attempt to change the firmware, it is on my own risk, because the NVR was made for the Chinese market and they never tried to change the language.
I decided to give it a try! From the Zip archive i extracted the bin file:
General_NVR3xxx_Eng_P_V2.616.0000.0.R.20140110.bin (14186kb)
and i installed it with ConfigTool. The install process went normal and after the reboot i could see it in ConfigTool. The interface language changed to English, however in front of each word was added some words like this: &conf.gen.
I tried to go back to the Chinese firmware, but with no success.
Does anybody know how to deal with this kind of problem?
In the zip firmware file that i received from the supplier, there are some other files with bin, img and lua extensions. What are these files for? is there another method to upgrade the firmware using these files?
Any help will be appreciated!
