Subject: [SOLVED] Looking for HiView Setup.exe compatible with Windows 7
Body:
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up a HiView DVR system, but I am running into compatibility issues. I have an older machine running Windows 7 (64-bit).
I am looking for a reliable download link for the HiView setup.exe client software. I have tried a few versions I found online, but when I try to run the installer, nothing happens, or I get an error saying the application is not compatible.
Does anyone have a working version for Windows 7?
My System Specs:
Any help or a pointer to the correct legacy software would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! hiview setup.exe windows 7

Do you still rely on Windows 7 for your security cameras? Let me know in the comments below.
