varascope 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Most upgrades are: 1. USB with firmware loaded. Firmware loads on boot if it determines it is newer 2. Serial Port command line and Hyperterminal 3. FTP 4. GUI based with network or USB You don't know the manufacturer, but you have upgraded firmware????? If your not 100% sure what your doing or you have the wrong firmware, you could brick your unit.

aibudo 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Upgrading firmware doesn't reformat the hard-drive. I'm with the previous post. DON'T do anything with firmware unless you absolutely know that it's the right one. or that DVR will be junk. Even if the firmware is right, I've seen many DVR's junked with an attempted "upgrade"!
