Edit: I entered the wrong Program number. It is 23B64. Sorry.

Edit #2: based on the replies, %70 limit will applies if it the software finds something wrong (some parameters that the software identifies). otherwise, charging can go back to 100% (according to one reply). If Ford is reading this, they really need to be "clearer" about this fix, and they need to inform the dealers so the message is right. Thera are a lot of unhappy folks at the moment.

Did anyone go with this update?

The service tech told me that this update will hard-code the maximum charge to 70% !!! Even though we've been told to do so at 80%. I guess Ford does not trust that we've done the manual update ourselves.

Any news on when an official repair/parts replacement will be ready?

I’m stumped. I’m wondering if anyone has #3 setup and working.

1.      The NVR is on local protected network. Hik-Connect app works fine when connected via local WiFi.

2.      Connecting from an external Wi-Fi (friends’ house), I can VPN (using WireGuard) to my network and Hik-Connect works fine. No issues.

3.      Disconnecting WiFi and only use Cellular service. I can VPN to my network. Hik-Connect tells me I’m “offline”. I can open a browser (on the phone), connect directly to the NVR using the IP address without any issue!

Since I can use the browser (while on Cellular VPN), tells me that I have a good connection, so my issue is either with the cellular network blocking a port/MTU, or with Hik-Connect wanting to go to Hikvision cloud first.

I tested different ports/MTU and different cellular service providers, that didn’t make a difference. Thus, I am suspecting it is Hik-Connect.   Any suggestion or idea to try to solve this issue?

I currently have an Annke NVR & cameras serving outside home perimeter. The model I have is few years old. It is a rebranded DS-7608NI-k2/8P.

I would like to upgrade to either DS-7608NI-M2/8P or perhaps DS-7716NI-M4/16P.

I don’t think I need an AcuSense NVR (like a DS-7616NXI-K2/16P). My thinking is if I’m planning to buy/add AcuSense cameras, then I’ll get the benefit of AI in the camera, and would make sense to go with M series NVR. Any thoughts or comments?
