Hopefully someone has a solution...
I rescued an LTS LTD8316T-ET(U) NVR that was part of an office cleanout as the scrap guy was heading for the door. It has no drive, but I have one for it. It boots up and goes right to empty video (no cams attached).
So, apparently it works but it does not have the default admin password 12345.
This is of course, a rebranded 16 channel hikvision box, but I don't know which hik it really is.
I pulled the mb battery so time will always be 01011970 at boot.
I tried the hikvision password reset tool with the SN I got from sadp. No joy.
I searched for the firmware and found it (TVI3_V3.4.80_170223). This is a 2017 box. I was hoping to flash it and restore the default password.
I tried using the tftp server and telnet, etc. The firmware was pulled out as the expected digicap.dav and placed into the folder running tftp.
At one attempt I did get something at startup with telnet. It showed "TVI DVR ET Series" and then it disconnects. I was not able to recreate that.
----------------------
The log shows:
TFTP server[192.0.0.128] initialized
Connect client[192.168.1.30] success (that is the lan ip it is apparently set to)
Open file[G:\econt_Vision-AV2000] failure (with a control char at the end of AV2000)
------------------------
So, I tried copying digicap.dav to that filename without the control char and of course it didn't work. A copy and paste reveals that the control character is illegal for a filename in windows.
During my reboot trials, I had a window open running ping -t 192.0.0.64
When it reboots, it will respond to the ping nicely for 10 seconds and then nothing. So, there is a window of opportunity.
Following that (now and at each retry) the tftp server reports "Connect client failure,0"
I can't even get the Open file failure message anymore and the copy I made under that name was deleted and I've retried all of this for hours.
I even tried the old config file url trick. Again, no joy.
I could certainly use this to add some more cams to my setup.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
