Do I need to upgrade NVR for ColorVu cameras ?
GDay @johnfitz The NVR model is definately correct, I believe it can have upto 16 cameras connected, but only has 8 PoE built-in ports. I never got around to putting more than 8 cameras. I initially intend to upgrade only the two front cameras, but eventually will upgrade them all to ColorVu...- geek7899

Just can't get remote access working after Hik ban - willing to reimburse someone [Sydney]
Are you saying that if I run a VPN server, I wouldn't need DNS ? I do understand your efforts in warning people about the pitfalls of port forwards. Setting up VPN is for another day. My modem (Netcomm NF7) doesn't support VPN tunneling, but I do have another Asus RT-AC86U router in WAN Bypass...- geek7899

Bummer ! With regards to upgrading: My NVR is from Aliexpress. Looking at the details in original post, would you know if there is a English language firmware available for this model of NVR ? If it can be safely upgraded, I might attempt that -

Forgot Hikvision NVR pass, but have Config file
Hi Thanks for your reply. It’s not the cam, but NVR password that I am talking about. I grabbed the NVR configuration file from iVMS-4200. It was a zip file and when I unzipped it, it further contained many files. Here is a screenshot of all files.- geek7899

DS-2CD2432F-IW not recording
I thought they had the same settings. But on a closer look, I found that under ""Linkage Method", Trigger Channel wasn't ticked. I ticked it and walked into the motion detection area. It still didn't record any file. Other than that all settings were similar. -
