    forgot password

    I have a IPC-HDW4431C-A. I had set it up a few months ago on the test bench, but never mounted and installed the camera. Went to go mount the camera and I forgot the password. Since this is a chinese camera, I really didnt want to have to put new firmware on it, if I can avoid it. Any...

    Raspberry Pi Zero W to view camera feeds

    I've been using a Raspberry Pi 3 to view the camera feeds thru a web browser. I has been working great. What I'm wondering is, has anyone done the same, but using a Raspberry Pi Zero W instead? Is the Zero W powerful enough?

    Amend recodings

    Sorry for the dumb question. I just reformatted and started all over from scratch. Previously, I thought I had set a setting to amend to the recordings. ie, so at the end of the day, I can just click on the camera recording on the right side and get one continuous recording of everything that...

    Buying Dell from eBay, asking for Service Tag number

    I thought I had seen a post that said when you buy a Dell from eBay to ask for the service tag number, and then verify the warranty on Dell's site. So, I've just started looking on eBay, and when I emailed a seller for the tag number, they responded that they could not provide the entire tag...

    Hard drive - Purple vs Green

    OK, before I get flamed, I know I should be using a Purple drive for the cameras. I will be going with a SSD for the OS and BI software. But, right now, I already have a extra 2 TB WD Green drive, that I'd like to use to get the system up and running. Most likely for Christmas, I'll upgrade to...

    Newbie here, purchased NVR, but think Blue Iris may be what I need?

    Hello, newbie here. I purchased an OEM Hikvision NVR thinking it would be easy to setup and not have worry about reinstalling OS + software if it crashed. Well, I've had the toughest time trying to get the NVR to record motion detection, as it only wants to be setup on one of my 4 cameras. And...
