Hikvision Dvr Software Upgrade
Update 24-5-18 - Superseded by a newer version: Hikvision iVMS-4200 v2.7.1.4 HikVision have just released a new version of their IVMS-4200 software. The new version is V2.7.0.10. Released 12th February 2018. At the moment it only seems to be available from their UK website here: Hikvision UK &. Here's how to upgrade your HikVision camera or NVR to the latest. I have a hikvision 7208HVI-SH DVR, which came with a very old software,.
Hikvision are great for providing regular firmware updates for their IP cameras and recorders. As well as adding features from time to time they usually fix a number of bugs, improve performance/compatibility etc. Updating to the latest firmware is the first thing to do if you are encountering any issues at all.The best place to download firmware from is http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/i .. 20Firmware where 'Back-ends' are the recorders and 'Front-ends' leads you to (IPC) IP Cameras.
If you are having trouble locating the right firmware. Simply ask us on here..
Once downloaded you will have to extract the .dat file (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html is a good free extractor) and then you can upgrade via the web interface or a USB pen directly into the device.
I’ve written this article out of deep frustration, as I’ve tried every single method of updating the firmware of my?HIKVISION DS-7204HFI-SH DVR and nothing seem to work, and not only that, I’ve also bricked / boot looped my DVR! So, I’ve made a huge research about how to fix it, because I was sure there IS a way to fix this! And here it is, for your usage, I hope it will help you!
So, if you want to upgrade your DVR firmware but?it’s very old and won’t let you use anything other than Internet Explorer 9 Browser or?even If you bricked?your DVR, it doesn’t matter, you can still upgrade it to the latest firmware with those following steps:
The things that you will need:
- A HikVison DVR (yeah)
- Your DVR latest firmware. Please check carefully that it’s exactly what you need and matches your device! You will POTENTIALY be able to fix it if you screw up, but I wouldn’t try!
You can download it from here:

- A Windows 7/8/10 Laptop/PC with a network cable
- A lot of patience!
Step 1 ? Prepare the files
Unzip your firmware zip and the TFTP zip to a new folder. Make sure you unzip all the archives to the same directory (it doesn’t matter where you create it). You should get a folder that contains a few files:
md5
digicap.dav
tftprc_en.dll
tftpserv.exe
tftpserv.ini
tftpserv.log

Feel free to explore. Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) bus mods, ETS2 Indian Volvo Bus, Scania Metrolink & Ashok Leyland MAruti V2 ETS2 Mod Download. Right hand drive map mods is also available for Free.
The file digicap.dav is the firmware file. Make sure it has exactly that name.
Step 2 ? Connect your PC to the DVR with a network cable
Do that. Connect them directly with a network cable.
Now go to your PC network adapter settings and set your IP to be 192.0.0.128
(this is extremely important)
Turn off your DVR.
Step 3 ? Watch the magic
Open the file tftpserv.exe and turn on your DVR.
It should say something like “TFTP Server[192.0.0.128] initialized
Wait for your device to start up the booting process, should take 10-30 seconds and you will see a few more messages pointing out test and connect.
If you have the correct firmware and it’s file name is digicap.dav on the same folder, it should start the transmiting the firmware file to the DVR.
Here is an example of the log after it’s all done:
After it finishes, it will reboot and will magickly work!!!! You now should have a working DVR device.
You can now close the software and unplug the ethernet cable from your PC.
