The other way round... Wrong firmware on a Euro unit.
Should the DVR start receiving TFTP data as soon as it powers on. I'm sending to the IP address last used on the unit as it's my understanding the settings don't change on a flash. Am I wrong? Should I use another IP/subnet on the laptop.
FYI; on power up the unit shows the HikVision splash screen, blanks, shows, at the wrong size, the on screen text for the cameras it was set for, remembering 1+5 view I had set but no camera video, then restarts.
