TVT NVR – replace TD-3208H1-8P firmware with linux / debian

Heyas,

I have an TVT NVR device, model TD-3208H1-8P, which I’m using for recording cameras on, but the interface is very outdated and only works in edge running in internet explorer mode. I’d like to replace the existing firmware with some variety of Linux so that I can run the video streams through AI image processing (external device) and to rebroadcast the streams in a usable format.

I’ve tried rebroadcasting from the device directly, but it’s very unreliable and doesn’t really work.

I’ve tried multiple ways of trying to get it to boot from a USB or the hard drive instead of its normal firmware, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to enter the BIOS menu to change the boot priority.

Has anyone managed to do this or can you give me some advice?
