Securame 0 Posted October 3, 2017 Here you go, latest version is v3.3.5 from Feb/17: http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/?dir=portal/Product%20Firmware/Back-ends/Recorder/DVR/Turbo%201.0%20DS-7100%207200%207300%208100%209100HGHI%20HQHI%20HUHI Btw; the QR code is just the serial number encoded. In your case it would be 523575782. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickflan 0 Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks, I have emailed IKVISION with same pic, they replied saying it wasn't one of theirs but it looks like a GTEC model so I have emailed them lol. The link you sent doesn't have a 3.35 only goes up to 3.34 but thanks ill let you know what GTEC say. Mick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 4, 2017 Hi. Why not set it up manually........it’s not a hik it could be something else I would say forget the qr code It’s safer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hikvision will not give you support for an OEM DVR, of course, you need to contact the seller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickflan 0 Posted October 5, 2017 well, It does belong to a company called GTEC they supply them to their installers. I contacted them and they said it doesn't need a firmware update for network (which I knew) and gave instructions. then told me to install app called Guarding Expert which is identical to the Hikvision ivms 4500 apart from the HIKconnect. Just though a firmware upgrade would enhance the box. Thanks for all your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted October 6, 2017 Just though a firmware upgrade would enhance the box. You will get to have the latest firmware earlier. But Hikvision will not help you with it, it is not their unit; and GTEC will also not help you with it, it is not their firmware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickflan 0 Posted October 6, 2017 securame, so the Turbo HD DVR V3.3.4_Build170220 will work on the DVR. mick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 6, 2017 securame, so the Turbo HD DVR V3.3.4_Build170220 will work on the DVR. mick Hi. No it will not .....hik firmware will now only work with hik and hik licences systems. You can't use hik-connect to connect with copy or none licensed hik. All you need to do is forget the QR code. Just do port forwarding......and your system would be more secure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sentience Security S 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Usually to use the QR code for hik OEM you need to set up pt cloud. There should be an option on the app for that. Then scan the QR code through the app and it will work. This will cut BIG holes in your firewall though so I wouldn’t recommend it. Manual port forwarding is always best.

Sentience Security S 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Because it uses default port settings which are easy to find online. You really should set up customer ports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sentience Security S 0 Posted October 11, 2017 What we usually install is Hik OEM and the server port is 8000, RTSP 8558, HTTP 80 and HTTPS 443. I believe it’s the same across the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sentience Security S 0 Posted October 11, 2017 I would believe that, but I am also certain that doing manual port forwarding is much more secure. The webinars I watch from hikvision all the time indicate this to be the truth. As a hikvision authorized distributor and retailer I can’t suggest using the pt cloud function.

Sentience Security S 0 Posted October 11, 2017 There is no such thing as closed ports for a DVR that is able to communicate with a remote device. It doesn’t work that way. Those QR code readers blow a hole in your firewall so they can communicate with outside servers or they bypass your firewall altogether allowing very easy unfettered access to your network through your DVR.

Really? How is Team Viewer works behind firewalls? and lots of other P2P apps skype? and more "Those QR code readers blow a hole in your firewall" What is different in your example who will open ports you or App u see my point? I would suggest google and understand how certain P2P can work behind "Closed" Ports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being an authorised hikvision distributor .... then you should know pt cloud is a new name for a company hik dropped using It’s China based and goes under a number of names.
