    Lost Password to NVR5208-8P-4KS2E NVR, Help!

    I was able to figure it out! I'll summarize here in case I forget again and have to do this again. After resetting the password on the NVR I wasn't able to add the cameras in SmartPSS until I first accessed the NVR by typing its IP address into Microsoft Edge and entering the new password...

    Lost Password to NVR5208-8P-4KS2E NVR, Help!

    Thanks for the help! I was able to connect a monitor to the NVR and reset the password by scanning the QR code on the monitor with the DMSS app and recovering through my email. I'm able to log into the NVR directly with mouse and monitor now and I can access my two cameras from there. Then I...

    Lost Password to NVR5208-8P-4KS2E NVR, Help!

    I have an NVR5208-8P-4KS2E NVR and two HWF5241E-Z12E cameras attached to it that I installed 2 years ago. They were working great until a few months ago when I had to reinstall windows on my pc. Now that I've finally gotten around to reinstalling SmartPSS, I can see the NVR, but I can't log...

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    That is quite a difference. I'm not sure I can make out the second one. I guess I'll leave it alone for now and fiddle with the focus some more during the day.

    That was the front of the car. I tried zooming in further and adjusting the focus and got this on the next car that passed. I flipped through frame by frame and this is the best one. It's not great, but it's readable.

    Any suggestions for what I should change to make the plates show up better at night? This was taken with your settings.

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Thanks! I figured out how to download footage from the NVR and I have the cameras mounted in their permanent positions. I'm just starting to mess with the settings for the plate camera so your screenshots will be helpful.

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    I just switched from Chrome to IE and that fixed the logging into the camera issue. When I went into the camera it had a check box for P2P that I unchecked. Now I'm going to look around at the camera settings and see if I can figure out how to download footage.

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    I have already been logging into the NVR through the ip on my LAN, but it looks a little different than yours. There is a QR code in the NVR GUI that I scanned with my phone and I think it had me download an app, but I never bothered to set it up. Is there a way to see if P2P is enabled so...

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Update: I bought two of the HWF5241E-Z12E cameras, one NVR5208-8P-4KS2E NVR, cat5e cable, a 6Tb surveillance hard drive, and the necessary tools. I ran the cables and set up the NVR with the hard drive. I have one camera connected to the NVR through a short cable for testing purposes. I've...

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Ok, my plan is to get the HWF5241E-Z12E and the following items. I will put the NVR next to my computer and run at least two cables through the attic to where the camera will go. I couldn't find information about how the NVR connects to my computer. Is it just like plugging in an external...

    Is the Cat5e 1000' spool acceptable or do I need the more expensive Cat6?

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Coincidentally I'm in the middle of rewiring my attic, so it would be convenient to run an ethernet cable now before I get the camera. Once I put the plywood floor back down, it will be very difficult to access the cable. Is there anything in particular that I need in a cable? Is this one ok...

    Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. I will definitely look into ordering the HWF5241E-Z12E from Andy.

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Hi everyone, I have Wyze cameras all around my house, but they're incapable of reading license plates as I found out the hard way Thursday night. I've attached the video in which they back into my Prius and then drive off. I was able to track them down using other means, but in the future I...
