Avtech KPD679-D help please!

[demios 0]

I have an Atech KPD679-D which has been fine except for the firmware being a bit scatty.

 

I tried to view some footage the other day and had great problems so I decided to upgrade the firmware.

 

I downloaded 1022-1005-1007-1005 for the KPD679 and started the upgrade. Everything was ok and then it got to 50% of upgrading database and stopped. I left it for several hours and nothing happened, I eventually rebooted to find I got the bootup logo but then a black screen. The hard drive was still running so I left it. Next day I rebooted again and now I get a blue screen with the 16 camera sections (grid) but no picture and none of the controls work, it just beeps if you push a button.

 

Is there anyway to force a firmware upgrade again?

 

Or any other ideas?

Hi Phil,

 

Can you first make sure what is the model of your dvr? is there any silver label on the back of dvr?

 

Once you are sure about the model you can try to force upgrade of firmware by manual resetting the dvr.

 

When you will write me the full name of model i will give you.

 

This operation not always will be working, it depends of the damage the dvr received. In the worst case you will need to send to repair.

Hello, im looking for the newest update for the KPD679ZB-D.

 

i have this dvr and the firmware is : 1004-1001-1001-1001.

 

im facing some software problems, actualy the dvr menu are lagging over the local network.

 

i have found a upgrade on the net KPD679_1022 but when im try to update im getting this message :

 

ERROR: Firmware's product name or checksum is error.

 

then the dvr restarts and nothing happen.

 

dear Leohuangdi can you send me the correct update file ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Petros,

 

Your dvr is a B version, so you cannot use the firmware 1022.

 

This is the link for the last firmware of KPD679B (fw- 1008):

Hope this firmware can solve your problem

I have forwarded 80 port of DVR via Wifi Router on internet, i was accessing cameras on internet through 4 Users including admin account. But right now i am unable to login via any of the username accounts that i set. I don't know what has happened to DVR. Its giving authentication error. How can i reset password of DVR?

Waiting for prompt reply from Avtech Expert.

Just looking at your address bar you seem to be missing your port number at the end of your ip address

Hey Mate, i have managed to open that page. I just want to know how to upgrade the software/firmware. Should i attache Data Traveler Flash Drive to DVR?

[tomcctv 190]

i would only do a firmware if you need too. remember they dont make your dvr newer . firmware only fixes problems.

 

 

 

and DONT use the link in this thead. it is for KPD679ZB you have a KPD679-D

 

 

 

if your dvr is working then leave it as it is

Is there a newer version for my KPD674?
