I have the above DVR and am looking to upgrade the firmware (so that live streams will work over the web). I bought it from Aliexpress, but it appears to be a European model. Where do I find the firmware for this, the Hikvision website is very confusing.
 
Yes, it is very confusing!

HikVision produce this small Word document (if you manage to find it):
http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/port...onship between firmware and device model.docx DOWNLOAD PORTAL

Which tells you this:
K51
DS-7324HUHI-K4
DS-7332HUHI-K4
DS-8124HUHI-K8
DS-8132HUHI-K8
DS-9024HUHI-K8
DS-9032HUHI-K8

K71
DS-7224HQHI-K2
DS-7232HQHI-K2
DS-7216HUHI-K2/P
DS-7208HUHI-K2/P

K72
DS-7204HUHI-K1/P
K51
DS-7324HUHI-K4
DS-7332HUHI-K4
DS-8124HUHI-K8
DS-8132HUHI-K8
DS-9024HUHI-K8
DS-9032HUHI-K8

K71
DS-7224HQHI-K2
DS-7232HQHI-K2
DS-7216HUHI-K2/P
DS-7208HUHI-K2/P

K72
DS-7204HUHI-K1/P

From that list you can see that it seems your DVR requires the firmware referred to as K71.

The latest V3.5.50 version of which (K71) can be downloaded here:

I would go with the ML STD version.

ML = Multi-Language (which will include English)
STD = the Standard HikVision version (as opposed to NEU for neutral which is alleged to not include HikVision branding)
 
Hi there,

I just made the upgrade to the new firmware v3.5.50 for DS-7208HUHI-K2 and I can tell that at first sign the remote control does not work anymore. How can I downgrade back to a stable firmware?

thank you,
 
Hi, Sorry to hear that. We don't recommend downgrading, Hikvision recommend that you use the latest firmware.
The best thing to do would be to report the problem you have found (with your remote not working) to Hikvision Tech Support, and see whether they can offer a solution.

support.uk@hikvision.com
 
I performed the downgrade to v3.5.35 build 180417 and it works great back functionally the remote. It is clear that a bug is in last firmware version. Thank you for advice.
 
it was my fault because I thought that DS-7208HUHI-K2 model is same with DS-7208HUHI-K2/P model, but they are totally different. So finally this is clarified and below is the last release for this DS-7208HUHI-K2 model, I have to test it.

Thanks for coming back and sharing.
 
Hi,

yesterday I made the upgrade but the new version 3.5.37 build 180928 has a problem. At every 2 minutes is rebooting, I'm in investigation now with hikvision for this problem. So if you have the DVR model DS-7208HUHI-K2, I do not recommend upgrade to 3.5.37 build 180928.
