    How do I reset a dhi-nvr4104-p-4ks2?

    If it was mine, I'd check out J29, above the board part number. Serial TTL, not RS-232

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    What you've described in detail looks good - so there is not an obvious cause for the bootloop, unless the bad block in the backup cfg_sec is implicated.. The serial console hopefully would provide a clue. I don't think an original - but what may be a 'hacked to English' version from...

    DS-2CD3145F-IS firmware upgrade

    What are you trying to achieve with hikpack? Hikvision changed the firmware packing scheme in 5.5.x such that hikpack no longer handles it. Remember also that the 'language change' in hikpack is only for the firmware header - it does not change the firmware language itself. To change your CN...

    Public port forwarding on firewall?

    Does the firewall log the probes and access attempts against the port? Any interesting exploit attempts?

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    Did you do some endurance estimations? I'd imagine drive writes per day will be quite significant whilst @Arjun is still around ...

    Friends dont let friends install wireless cameras

    Probably an AI bot, wouldn't mind so much if the post wasn't just stating the obvious. We'll see if it's a placeholder for future edits.

    GDID and Windows 11

    I'm on Linux Mint 22.3 with Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-136-generic just now, been on Mint for quite a few years. It's easy to use, stable, with a good set of tools available for those 'research tasks'. ** edit ** On the rare occasion I might need Windows - I just boot up a virtual instance with Oracle...

    Translation : " In the Netherlands, Russians have hacked "a small number" of private cameras along routes where military goods are transported. The intelligence services AIVD and MIVD have alerted the owners so that they could take action, Defence reports. These are cameras that can be accessed...

    Capture Schedule delayed and stops after few days

    Relative to real time, or camera time? Is the camera time properly synced using NTP?

    Rename cameras in Remote Config settings?

    I don't use iVMS4200 much - so this may be wrong, but - What are the camera names in the NVR web GUI? I'm wondering if that's the origin of 'Camera 01' etc and it's being inherited from there.

    Agreed, and removed.

    Neat. Stylish.

    RF Detector?

    That's perfect, a full stealth result. That's one possible cause for the NVR behaving oddly now eliminated - it's not accessible from the internet such that any vulnerabilities could have been exploited.

    Camera Password Corrupted - Power Surge Knocks off NVR

    The camera should have been automatically activated by the NVR after you reset the camera to defaults. Odd that it didn't, when the channel is set to Plug&Play. But you can still add the camera manually. If the admin password that you activated the camera with is the same as the one the NVR is...
