Hi did you get it working ? If so, how ?

So I'm having this issue from a month back and don't really know what triggered it. I have an HIKVISION DS 7208 HGHI-SH DVR hooked on to 6 Analog cam's with 1 TB of HDD for storage. Everything is working fine except that if I make any changes now like an OSD camera name change or Number of camera view change, it changes on clicking the save button but on DVR re-boot it all revert back to the previous setting. I tried initializing the HDD again and also changed the tiny battery inside the DVR but the problem still persists. Can some one please tell me what's going on and how I can solve this problem. Thanks.

I changed the batteries like someone suggested above and nothing happened. It's still the same

Could be, but as far as I know battery only supports real-time clock and has nothing to do with keeping settings. I'm facing the same problem in my DS 7208 HGHI-SH DVR. I'm unable to save any changes, it all reverts back to default on re-boot. Can't change the OSD settings, Camera view settings , nothing. I'm even unable to update my firmware which is on 3.1.7. Have no idea what to do now. Will try out changing the batteries inside the DVR ( if it's there )
