Firmware How to access Hikvision camera settings directly to adjust settings?

[d.francek]

Yesterday I update my DS-7608NI-K1/8P original firmware version 3xxx with NVR_K74_BL_ML_STD_V4.30.000_200508 downloaded from original Hikvision page. Now I see all cameras in Hik connect, but now I can not modify additional light to my camera DS-2CD2327G1-L(U). What now? Can I update now with NVR_K51_BL_ML_STD_V4.30.060_201228.zip or must update all before
V4.30.005 build200628 EUI
V4.30.010 build200715 EUI
V4.30.011 build200803 EUI
V4.30.055 build201111 EUI

Hi @d.francek

Yes, we would recommend you update to the latest firmware, to access some camera-specific settings you will need to enable Virtual Host which allows you login directly to cameras connected to the PoE ports on the NVR. If any of the cameras are remotely connected to the NVR from PoE Injectors/switches elsewhere on your network you can just log in to these using their individual IP addresses and adjust the camera settings there.

Ok. Now i am lost. What if I get wrong firmware? Where can i found latest firmware for my DS-7608NI-K1/8P

 

[Dan]

All of the firmware you have listed above are correct for your model but as you are already on the first v4.30 firmware you can jump straight to the latest v4.30.060 firmware.

Is this NVR_K74 and NVR_K51 important? I tried every of this files, and always said updae is not sucess. I updatd First time sucessfuly from laptop. And now dont want to update.

I have just realised our mistake, you have a DS-7608NI-K1/8P and all the firmware files you have linked above are for the DS-7608NI-K2/8P which is why they are not working.

Are you saying that your original firmware before updating was a K74 firmware? If that is the case then the model you actually have must be a DS-7608NI-K1/8P(B) which use the K74 firmware, the latest version of that firmware is v4.30.010_200715

My model exact is Hikvision DS-7608NI-K1/8P 8 ch Poe up to 8 MP resolution

I updated with K74, now is V4.30.010 build 200715

I have now different problem. I have 6 cameras model DS-2CD1043G0-I 4.0 MP and it works fine. Before first update I had one kamera model DS-2CD2327G1-LU and for that camera I had oportunity to make when it power on additional light and power level from 0 to 100 %. Now there is just Day or Night and there is no any posibility to adjust level. But I have another one DS-2CD2327G1-LU kamera new. I bought two of them, and another one was never activated and connected. Can I downgrade firmware wit this new one?

To access those camera-specific settings you need to enable virtual host, see my earlier comment:
