What to do when the NVR is stuck where the system's initializing?
1. Unplug all other cables from the nvr, including network cable, hdd, flash disk, just connect it to monitor.
2. Power off and then power on, reboot, repeat this for several times, you might get a chance to get into the system once. Then you can upgrade the system to the latest version. If 1 and 2 do not work, go next
3. The U disk must be FAT32 Format and 2.0 interface，Root directory means the first grade directory.
4. Power on NVR, then NVR will upgrade automatically, then you will hear "BI" , then wait for about 6mins,NVR will upgrade successfully and rebooting. (note: please don't power off NVR when upgrading)
5. If NVR still doesn't work normally after 6 minutes upgrading successfully, please try again. keep U-disk plug on NVR, power off NVR, then power on. Wait for 6 min, NVR will upgrade successfully and rebooting again.
6. if channel information is deleted after upgrading , please match code to add camera to NVR channel again. steps as: " Video manage--Match Code--double click the found out camera, then the camera match code to NVR."
Remark: 1. USB-stick should be formatted to FAT32 before upgrading.
2. If NVR can't find USB-stick, please use HPUSBFW V2.2.3.exe to format it.
3. The restore_factory_config_is_dangerous file in USB-stick is one-time-use, if want to upgrade again, should copy it to usb-stick again.

Hello
Please let me know if anyone has had this problem.
My DVR keeps getting stuck on the “System initialization” startup interface.
Can anyone help me?
I have taken the ba k off dvr unit on a zosi 8 camera system replaced battery and couldn’t find a reset button any where on unit and still stuck in initialization mode. Any other ideas what to do?
Hello,
I tried disconnecting all cables as stated in post, but when I plug unit back in, it returns to same screen “ZOSI” in large text, and “System initialization…” below. It never changes despite several unplugs and replugs.
Also: what is all this about the usb drive. I never got one with my unit.
—I have a drive and will now try to find the driver/software online…. All of this is unclear to me. Could you please explain?
Thank you kindly!
