    "NO LINK" appears on monitor. No Live feed on Hik NVR + cam

    Thanks ... but I couldn't have done it without you and femderman's useful info. No idea why it didn't pick up, probably a 'glitch' ... Actually the camera had been allocated the same IP 192.0.0.64 by DHCP as was evident in one of the screenshots on last page. And its a 7616 NI E2/8P, not 7608...

    Managed to get a monitor and plugged into back of NVR via VGA. When I go into settings for camera, I can enter password. But after that message comes up saying "The user is locked" A simple shutdown and restart fixed this problem !

    Houston, we have a go !! Can't thank you enough mate ! Also, another setting I had to change was the camera time. When I changed the time zone to my city in the drop down box, it wouldn't save the settings. I had to tick "Sync with computer time" for the correct time to show up. Is this the...

    Thanks fenderman ! 1. So reset is OK .... reset would still default back to hacked English firmware ?? 2. I haven't checked anything yet.
