I spoke to a supplier this morning regarding a back order on DS-7604NXI-K1/4P(D) NVRs. The single HDD models of these NVRs were supplied without the 40mm case fan. I've been told that due to a higher than expected number of failures, they are opening all units on arrival and retrofitting the...
I updated Hik-Connect the other day from 6.9.880 to 6.10.0. It seems a step backwards as things have been moved around and changed.
6.9.880 - Clicking 'Me' you could log out/log in, see the version etc.
6.10.0 there's no version and no log out. To find the version, from 'Me' you have to go...
Looks like another update for the G3 4MP ColorVu's with H13U firmware. Same version number but this is the third build of 5.8.13:
250715 > 250725 > 250808
A few posts to follow so I'll reserve a couple beneath this one to avoid it becoming unwieldy....I'll also edit/update these top three posts with any additional information regarding features, bugs etc.
I've been waiting impatiently for the new VPro NVR to become available. I've no real need...
There's finally some new firmware for the G3 ColorVu cameras. A new build of 5.8.10 came out some time ago for the 8MP models (H13) but now there's 5.8.13_250715 available on the download site for the 4MP models (H13U).
Gotta hope it fixes the garbled audio when Environmental Noise Filter is...
Hik-Connect 6.8.400.20250317.1 (latest version at time of writing)
I just noticed yesterday that pinch to zoom no longer works in landscape mode for me since updating my phone to iOS 18.4. Now only the zoom icon works which only gives you a single zoom level. You can pinch to zoom when the...
I've finally got my hands on a couple of the new ColorVu 3.0 cameras to try out. These are the DS-2CD2xx7G3 models and I guess the next step on from the Hybrid light models (DS-2CD23xx7G2H). They (Hikvision) have dropped the 'H' for Hybrid in the model code but the functionality is the same...
I just noticed that new firmware has been released for the KV6113WPE1(c). I've not seen any release notes but the version has jumped from 2.2.78 to 3.7.0 so I'd guess there are some major changes? It's available on both the UK and Global Hikvision update search pages.
Edit: I updated mine...
As reported by @johnfitzy 5.04.050_250124 has been released. First released on the US website and now on the global firmware search page. I've compared file properties from both and they are identical.
There were multiple issues with 5.04.020 so I'll detail what is/isn't fixed in this version...
M Series 5.04.020_241106 Released. Due to multiple issues I'd recommend avoiding this build...
No release notes. Just loaded it on mine.

Finally after years of people requesting it. The Hik-Connect update this morning allows you to change the order of sites on the Home Screen. There are also changes allowing grouping of devices and how the device thumbnails are displayed.
The layout is a bit better allowing you to scroll the...
I'm not sure whether this has already been posted but there appears to be a newer build of the G5 5.7.17 firmware. It's been updated from a build of 240606 to 240731 and has a different file size. I've loaded it on all my G5 cameras. The only thing I've noticed different (this may have been...
New version 6.4.201 out. The new version now allows you to see the firmware version of NVR connected cameras and update where a new version is available.
I’ve noticed that the slow loading playback timeline is resolved for my M series as well. It now loads instantly with event markers (under...
I had a firmware update pop up on the local UI of a DS-7616NI-K2/16P. It's an old one and these are end of life. As usual where you would get this firmware is unknown. If you search that model:
UK Product Page/Firmware Search - no result for NVR
Global Product Page/Firmware Search -...

I had an installation to service this morning that was more of a job than usual as there's been nothing updated for a couple of years so I needed to update everything as well as service the system and provide training for a new...
Well it's only 2 or 3 days since the last new firmware for the M series came out that fixed the control of camera features when using Hik-Connect. A newer version 5.03.000_240428 has just appeared on the UK firmware download page.
Hik-Connect 6.2.51 has been released in the last 24 hours. 'Bug fix' is all that's detailed for the release on the iOS App Store. It does seem (for me) to have resolved or at least massively improved the loading of the timeline when selecting playback. Previously this could take upward of 20...
Another bug. I'm unable to determine whether the bug is with:
Hik-Connect 6.2.18.20240229.2
G5 firmware 5.7.14_build231213
M series firmware 5.02.000_build240229
The bug regards control of the Hybrid Light Cameras mode in Hik-Connect. After clicking the icon for 'Compensation Light...
I'm wondering if anyone has had disk issues with the DS-7716NI-M4?
I installed one in late November (firmware 4.63.020) and installed four 6TB Toshiba S300 drives.
Jan 31st I arrived to do some additional work and found the recorder showing a 'HDD Error' and going into the storage...
