Firmware 7604Ni-K1/4P and cameras - Firmware checkup

[alsno]

Hello all,
I've had my home CCTV since 2018, and don't frequently check or update it.
I've updated the firmware today, with a little patience (because the process took so much of it away)

I wanted to get confirmation that it's the latest firmware for my items - the upgrade process has been hit and miss, with failed updates (or me just attempting to use the wrong version).

The kit and firmware as of today are:

• 1x DS-7604NI-K1/4P (v3.4.103 181226)
• 1x DS-2CD2442FWD (v5.5.82 190909)
• 3x DS-2CD2342WD (v5.5.82 190909)

I used iVMS-420 to update the cameras (Remote Configuration > System Maintenance > Remote: Upgrade)
However for the NVR, the Remote: Upgrade option is missing on the screen.
(attached screenshots show the System Maintenance screen for one of the cameras vs the NVR)

I still manage to update the NVR via Hik-ProConnect (by registering as an installer).

Can someone please confirm I'm up-to-date?
Thank you

Hi @alsno

Yes, all your devices are now running the latest available firmware.

Thanks Dan, that's great to hear.

Are these patched and secure for the Hikvision vulnerability?

Also, do you have any idea why I don't see the Remote: Upgrade option in iVMS4200 (as shown in my screenshots)?
(is it supposed to be there, is it a firmware specific 'feature'?)

Hikvision stated that firmware versions dated earlier than 210628 (28/06/21) are vulnerable, but not all models included the feature that was vulnerable and so even if their versions pre-date this they are not vulnerable. As your models haven't received new firmware since 2018/2019 they likely did not require the patch firmware as they never had this new vulnerability.

No sure why you can't see the upgrade menu for the NVR, we've checked a 7604 on our network in iVMS-4200 on Mac and we could see the option under System Maintenance. What version of iVMS-4200 do you have installed?

I installed the latest version on my PC, this is iVMS-4200 v3.7.0.5 (20211228).

I managed to upgrade the firmware via Hik ProConnect with the web interface, as the Remote Upgrade section is missing in iVMS-4200.

Ok, it may be that this feature has been broken in the latest version of iVMS-4200 for these older NVR models, we have seen issues with old camera/NVR models in the past when Hikvision have introduced new software/firmware because they primarily focus their attention on making sure the updates work for the latest/current models.

If you wanted to try there are some older version of iVMS-4200 available from the UK Download Portal, but if everything else is working ok in the current version I don't think it is worth it as there is unlikely to be anymore firmware released for the NVR model you have.
