RRH 0 Posted February 2, 2019 Hi everybody, I just bought a Turbo HD DVR HIKVISION (7200 series). But when I plug my cameras HIKVISION HD 720p, i just have images during 3 seconds and then black screen with a message "LANGUAGE MISMATCH". Could you please help me on this problem? Thank you so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larry 2 Posted February 2, 2019 That's a Hikvision region issue. The cameras and DVRs' region (country) don't match. For instance a Chinese version camera trying to play on a US version DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo HD is tvi, not SDI. I have the same issue, language mismatch, display for a few seconds then black screen. I've heard of others having the same issue on camera models which were never released in China. Hikvision are obviously being very reckless with whatever method they are using to block imported cams on the turbo hd dvr's and blocking more cameras than they should. I wonder if there is any workaround since analog camers are fairly basic compared to ip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
