Hikvision NVR English firmware 3.4.80

When will they fix the gmail issue ? I have the 7608NI I2 and it says not to upgrade due to ram limit.
 
We don’t recommend users to upgrade DS-7608NI-I2 and DS-7608NI-I2/8P to V3.4.80 dueto RAM limit. Could they mean E2?

Already chatting about this on the NVR firmware section. I don't think it does mean E2 as it refers to I2 again for something else.
 
DS-7608NI-I2/8P > DS-7608NI-E2/8P, so this message does not make sense.

Yeah... This new firmware really does suck. Tried it for 15 minutes... Some configuration screen show empty data over https, but work fine over http. 3.4.62 did not have this problem, but had a tendency to reboot if you click too fast in the IVMS playback menu. I guess Hikvision's engineers are busy devising useless obfuscation schemes, so this update was probably crafted by their IT support interns.

Update: 3.4.80 randomly reboots, too. Downgrading back to 3.4.62

Did you see if it had an event-marked continuous playback timeline in the web GUI?

I did not notice it, but I have not looked much because 76xx I2 with this firmware reboots all the time. I did research the reboots, they are OOM killings of hikvision's main process by the kernel, so HikVision's message about insufficient RAM on 76xx I2 devices is unfortunately correct. fsck hikvision wtf #$@#$%%#!! Do I have to upgrade to the huge-ass 7716 I4 now?

7716 I4 owners, how much RAM does the unit have? (cat /proc/meminfo)

76xx I2 has 382856 kB (256M+128M it looks like)
 
This is a DS-7816N-E2 - 500MB RAM.

Does this apply to 8p and 16p?

That is a good question. Somebody with a 7616 I2/16P, check your memory size.

DS-7608NI-I2/8P has 384Mb of system RAM
DS-7608NI-E2/16P has 512Mb of system RAM

This confirms my suspicion that all Hikvision hardware is designed by pandas in the Hangzhou zoo.

Wow, I am glad i got 16P version, who knew they would screw this up. I wonder if I2/8P version will see any future upgrades. What about E2/8P, does it have 512 as well?

Update: The amount of memory seemed too small, so I opened the NVR. It actually has 1GB of DDR3 DRAM. Here is what I think the issue is:

8P hardware comes with 1GB of DRAM. Of the 1Gb, 640MB (80MB per channel) is allocated for video buffers, which leaves 384MB for system RAM.
I bet that 16P hardware comes with 2GB of DRAM. Of the 2Gb, 1.5GB (96MB per channel) is allocated for video buffers, which leaves 512MB for system RAM.

There are two bootparam dwords at offset 0xCC that control how much video and system ram is allocated.

Anybody with a DS-7608NI-I2/16P, please post a picture of the board or markings on the 4 identical chips around the CPU heatsink to confirm he above. The chips should say "SK Hynix" on them.

But that does not tell you what the specific NVR is equipped with.
It's only checking what @montecrypto has already referenced in the hardware descriptor block:
Code: 
echo "----------<3> load hisi sdk ----------"
SYSTEM_DDR=`echo | awk -F: '/DDR Bits Width/{print $2}' /proc/hkvs/cpldinfo`
echo "The system mem size is $SYSTEM_DDR"
cd /home/app/hisi/modules/
if [ "$SYSTEM_DDR" == "0x0" ] 
then
    /home/app/hisi/modules/load3535 -i 1024M
elif [ "$SYSTEM_DDR" == "0x1" ]
then
    /home/app/hisi/modules/load3535 -i 512M
elif [ "$SYSTEM_DDR" == "0x2" ]
then
    /home/app/hisi/modules/load3535 -i 2048M
elif [ "$SYSTEM_DDR" == "0x3" ]
then
    /home/app/hisi/modules/load3535 -i 1024M
elif [ "$SYSTEM_DDR" == "0x4" ]
then
    /home/app/hisi/modules/load3535 -i 2048M
fi
cd -

This is my 7816N-E2 cpldinfo:
Code: 
alastair@PC-I5 ~ $ telnet 192.168.1.211
