Hoping a firmware update may fix it Hi firmware won’t help at all and not available anyway. moving hard drive onto your pc will work as it will format and use different sectors insert and new drive into your dvr and let dvr format it DVRs are cheap I would replace your old dahua lite unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suggy 0 Posted January 14, 2023 Hi thanks for the reply. Did try a new HDD, worked fine but on reboot off the DVR stopped working again. I have since got a Hikvision iDS-7208HUHI-K1/4S (second hand) which worked fine with my original cameras so I ordered a new iDS-7208HUHI-M2/P but for some strange reason wont work with my cameras. Both DVR's are set to HD/CVBS the 1st works OK the the latter the footage aint right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 14, 2023 Hi bad mistake using hikvision in the uk cheapest crap on the market now the reason for second unit not working is it’s digital not analog so works on tvi cvi or ahd not all hik revert to old analog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your uk …… so banned in some situations and now looking at no large data by isp could ban you should read the terms and conditions when loading the app people buy security for protection but hikvision take so much of your personal information and your contacts information and then you allow them to track your mobile phone (if app installed on it) even if your 1000s miles from your home cameras hik track you ……. Your data is more important as it’s valuable to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
