Ignore your NVR/Hik-Connect app with regard to 'no available update' or 'latest version installed'. The update check has never worked. To add to that Hikvision now advise against using the portals as they're no longer kept up to date. That's a huge step back, as the product pages generally only show current models and the search on the Firmware Download page is hit and miss.
thank you so much for commenting on my query. So just to clarify, my NVR is now not sold in the UK an your saying that there's no confirmed firmware update file for this model?
That model is no longer sold in the UK. If you go on the Hikvision website and navigate to NVRs > Pro Series All, then filter the results down to 4 channel models, you'll see that it is not in the results (the NXI model appears to be considered its replacement). Because your specific model is not on the site, there is no firmware update link there. The portal(s) (that used to be the best source for all firmware past and current for models past and current) is no longer up to date. Hikvision recommend using the website product page, which no longer exists as it's not a current model. On the global (not UK) website, the non PoE version of your model is listed with a marginally newer version. The likelihood, is that it's the same platform and can be used, but in the absence of release notes with the file that explicitly list the /4P model, I can't be sure (the non PoE model was never available in the UK)
Correct. And that is absolutely nothing to worry about.
It hasn't and you haven't. If the firmware updated via your Hik-Connect app then it came from Hikvision; if the firmware updated by clicking a link/notification on your NVR it came from Hikvision. You haven't opened a back door on your router. Looking at the post linked here...:Im concerned that this global attack on the Hikvsion has targeted my NVR and I've opened a backdoor into my router

I wouldn't worry about it, it's still considered a recent NVR. It's probably a commercial decision by Hikvision to drop the standard model in favour of the NXI AcuSense model.Thank you JB1970 - I can now sleep, I haven't properly for past 4 night.s worrying My issue now is that I had my system installed 1 yr ago, and gets me thinking that I should have had the NXI model installed. It seems that there's no life left in the NVR
I don't think you would see much benefit. One thing I like on the recent NXI firmware, is the ability to filter playback in the Hik-Connect app to Human. Vehicle etc similar to how you would on the NVR screen. That feature is available only on certain models with the latest firmware. You might already have that and if you don't there may be an update in due course. Also, if you have AcuSense cameras already, then you don't need that feature on the NXI model (using it on the camera as you currently will be, is far less restrictive)
