Google chrome notified me that my NVR password was part of a data breach. (yippee) It was stupid simple and 6 years old. It was the same PWD I had taped to the bottom/front of the NVR's and DVr's at the Condo job.
and that system was taken over by another Mgmnt company.
Blue Iris runs thru a Tailscale VPN, so that wasn't affected. ( maybe/perhaps)
So I took the plunge, and went into Account and modify password, and it asked me ( in a never experienced menu pop-up) if I wanted to transfer the new password to other devices.
I thought this might work for some of them. So i did. The green light / Red light status in the NVR indicated all but two made the switch.
Some how even after a reboot of the NVR, two of them were stubborn. So i went into a couple cams ( amcrest 1179EW's) and manually updated the PWD.
Blue iris showed some dropped out cameras. but not all.
So I painstakingly went thru the Find/inspect with ALL the cams using the New PWD. I even plugged in the shelved Z-12's just to keep them current.
I started noticing a drop in CPU %age somewhere thru the process.
I don't know why exactly, but I'm thinking maybe because it was originally configured thru the 8Ch NVR POE and then Migrated to a 16 CH NVR, and then to an external POE switch.
Maybe I knocked some cobwebs out of the thing.
But im running 9-14% and 1-2% GPU, and 2GB ram, whereas before it was common to see 33% +or- 10%.
But now I see I'm getting a Shit ton of Get Events Errors 8000ffff on 4 cams.
So I played around with IVS and 1 fixed itself. but the other 3 I had to turn off Get ONVIF events to make the crazy yellow Diamond alerts to go away on the console views.
Time for bed.
