pbmb8883 0 Posted May 22, 2014 I am new to the forum and to this field. Looking for some help/ tips from Pros here. Can you please provide thumb rules for firmware installation on DVRs. What I am looking to do, is this - i have old (maybe 2009 product), possibly imitation DVR which seem to have really old dodgy firmware on them. as a result some of the recent options available on dvrs arent there. I want to know if a firmware install on these old dvrs help? Can i take a new latest release firmware (like say hikvision firmware, dahua firmware) and put that on such DVRs? what limitations are there when someone plans for a firmware install? or how do I determine that the best possible firmware is on the dvr and beyond such a point the DVR itself cant support firmware. I would be grateful for any guidance and help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
