agentstar 0 Posted January 29, 2017 i have bought new HIKVision i think it is DS 7208HGHI F1/N cctv dvr system. the camera and hdmi cable are connected. ethernet is not connected yet. I can see the screen it shows correct date and there is a small sq red icon on screen which means it is recording.. THE SCREEN IS LOCKED. i cant do anything at all. the usb mouse is not detected and the remote control is also not even showing light when i press any button on it. CANT GET MENU. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY SET UP PROCEDURES. i have received a paper saying software activation procedure by going to hikvison website and activate device v1.01_20150612 I HAVE NOT DONE THIS BECAUSE I HVAE NOT CONNECTED THE ETHERNET YET.
