Firmware Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR firmware 3.4.93 to 4.60.005?

Hi all,

I'm currently changing some of my cameras over and found my DS-7608NI-I2/8P is on firmware version is 3.4.93 build 180622, I can see on the Aus website it’s now up to 4.60.005 build 231219, I have read on some forums skipping versions could brick it, the camera firmware would be the same vintage, would you update the NVR first or cameras first?

Hi @350calais

Are the cameras directly connected to the PoE ports on the NVR or connected remotely over the local network using separate PoE Injectors/Switches?

Are you able to access the cameras currently and confirm the firmware versions they are running?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply, all the cameras are connected to the PoE ports on the NVR
2 DS-2CD2342WD cameras on 5.4.1 - build 160624 plus 1 on build 170314
1 DS-2CD2387G2 camera on 5.7.12 - build 230523
1 DS-2CD1H41WD camera on 5.4.5 - build 170124
1 DS-2CD2355FWD camera on 5.5.53 - build 180802

Thanks @350calais

As they are directly connected we would recommend updating the cameras first in case there are any issues accessing the directly connected cameras on old firmware after updating the NVR.

Your WD/FWD models are all running quite old firmware so we would recommend speaking to your original supplier in Australia and/or Hikvision Australia and asking them for access to some of the older firmware versions because we would recommend updating in steps and not just straight to the latest firmware version.

Ok, thanks for that.
