Hi everyone,


I recently bought a Hikvision ERI-K216-P16 NVR second-hand (eBay purchase). Unfortunately, it turns out the device is still bound to the previous owner’s Hik-Connect account. The seller cannot help me unbind it.


I tried using the TFTP method to re-flash the firmware, hoping it would reset the binding. However, the process fails with the following error:
econet vision av2000 failure

At this point I’m stuck:


  • Is there any technical way to re-flash or unbind this model?
  • Or is the binding permanent unless Hikvision support removes it (which they likely won’t, since I’m not the original owner)?
  • Has anyone managed to bypass this error when using TFTP with this model?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
