I recently upgraded it with a firmware available, which according to hickvision's realease notes 'Conventional SD DVR deletes Hiddns and IP Server function, newly supported Hik-Connect.'
But when updating via WEB browser, none of this happened. The firmware apparently remains the same, apparently it just updated the version shown on the device.
No hik-connect option was added in the menus, and hiddns continue to appear in the options. The firmware used was: DVRKN33KN35N20EUROPEAN-MLSTDV3.1.6build170613.zip Downloaded from site: hikvisioneurope with upload date: July of 2017 Would anyone know if I need any specific procedure for the update to actually be applied?

I'm getting nowhere. I found the list of items quite confusing in your link above and so I contacted you online and downloaded a file suggested by either yourself or Gilly. This was called digicap.dav and after a number of unsuccessful trials I finally transferred this file to a USB stick. I accessed my NVR via the appropriate maintenance page from my Safari browser. From this you will gather that I run aMac computer which has the latest High Sierra operating system. However, when I click the upgrade button I get an immediate message which says 'firmware update failed' Hikvision UK have failed to reply to my online request for details what how to upgrade NVR firmware when using a Mac Computer. Perhaps I downloaded the wrong file from the list contained in the link you sent me within your online chat page.
It was suggested I downloaded the file with the most recent date and so that it is what I did. Perhaps it was the wrong one.
