You are 100% correct, Something seems really off here, I was actually going to ask him also to ship me one. ;)

That's a good Tip..works well

Hahaha...bringing back nightmares from my other life. I will add my 2 cents here on those cams. IF the config tool he was using says they were already initialized with that IP address, Most likely those cams were tested someplace else on that subnet, he claims they never saw daylight until...

I would say MOST people are just happy with getting Their IP cams and NVR properly configured on their network and security is usually a afterthought. Out Of sight is out of mind ya Know. The average(DYI) homeowner or small business is not going to set up their NVR or DVR on a V-Lan or mostly...

Your are missing nothing. That is 1 scenario on how its done.

being literate may not be a job prerequisite

PROGRESS!!! Take the little wins, Who knows, a year from now you might be running Guykuo's P.T.Z. repair services. :winktongue: Working on circuits with no schematics can suck, frustration, but very satisfying when you gain some insight. This is really Groundbreaking stuff because there is very...

Did you try to read anything else from the native adapter before you put the (add on) adapters on? like a standard 128Kx8 flash chip ? or something from a old motherboard. Just to make sure you are getting the correct voltages and make sure it reads and writes proper? I had a older HP laptop...

it is a strange error however IF somebody stuck a thumb drive in or ADDED a hard drive, A LOT more entries would be in those logs, like viewing or logging in so If you do not see any of that I would not lose sleep over it. I'm with red Fishy on this one.

You cannot effectively manage non dahua cameras through the dahua web Gui, You might (depending on the cam make) get a few controls to work. I have raysharp, Uniview and Axis running 'WITH" my NVr but when I need to make any changes I need to log on outside of the NVR.

I was on my Couch, felt like somebody was shaking the couch back and forth, We have one back here in the 90's that felt like a Roller coaster effect, this one was definitely different.

And Do not take Logs from smartPSS for the gospel, Log in direct to the NVR..As Big red has pointed out before, bits and bytes get lost in translation between the two..

Any SD cards or Usb devices in the mix?

We felt it here in upstate, My cat jumped and flew off the bed, any camera at my house that was bolted to the house showed No shaking, I have one in my garage just hiding in plain site, That guy was moving.

If you have 2 hardrives, Its switching the drive its writing to. i believe this to be Normal operations.

Unfortunately this Version of NVR is most likely EOL. Looking back on the firmware thing, I really wonder if they just needed extra bytes on their ROM memory FOR security and had to eliminate something or a feature to make room for it. I do know this NVR had issues with me over the years...

Could have been in part from the yanking and pulling out of the ground but the chewing was all over the place.

I do NOT care what type of direct burial you get or buy, The critters will chew it to shreds, here is a cable I pulled out after a year and a half, BTW the system quit working. :smash: If you like doing things twice, like me then go for it.

When you get everything set back the way you want it, backup your config file to a Thumb drive or a network folder, it will save you a LOT of issues in case things go sideways again.

Haha, Everything is too small for my eyes at this stage in the game, Yea My wife might bring up the New scope is 3 years worth of car payments.

That Station is about 14 years old, been decent for what I do, Getting harder to find "Decent" Tips and heating elements for her. I do love my Andostar Microscope, I work on a lot of OLD crap so its been nice to actually see bad traces and cold joints.

I use my Xgecu quite a bit, lots of bang for the buck, far cry from 10 years ago, Its amazing how much it will do. I Don't know the half of it. The only issue I have with it is trying to maneuver their website for firmware updates. Looks like you got ALL the adapters, i have not had a need yet...

:rofl:Why would they care, No DST in that part of the world.

That definitely looks like a after thought fix, Kind of surprised to see a add on cap and a bodge wire on that board. I cannot speak for dahua, but I do know some electronics makers will use the same board but different caps (and other components) depending on the environment or 'Region" you...

HaHaha, and if your not good with that they will put a expiration date on you.

Myself and my family had it last week, My Daughter was the last to go....back to school Tomorrow Wheew

I do not believe butchering the names was a accident. Any half wit editor would have picked up if one of them was misspelled but both? How does that get by them. Lets not piss off the Chinese GUV. N.J. "Advanced" media they call themselves.

Hahaha... You know how many times I have heard that. I have found that is a Illusion of not having to live by the clock. I work only part time now but on those days of not having a schedule, that is a easy frame of mind to fall into. Its too easy to drink 3 cups of coffee and not move off the...

WOW!!! Congrats

Ya, I have seen some shady Spectrum work over the years, They use contractors quite a bit, usually the trained line guys are pretty good. I worked with a contractor from them one time and we got bullshitting, he has a small metal recycling business along with a plumbing business and a Antique...
