I don't believe you can change the wifi settings via any QC app. You must use a config tool. Change the wifi settings through the browser link in the tool.

i have tried the config tool. i've gone through all the menus & field setting. there is no option to view/edit the wifi settings.
also, connecting to the camera via http/port 85 doesnt work either.
pls tell if i am missing something

connecting via http/port 85 doesnt seem to work on the QCW wireless cameras (site not found error). it works for my DVR, but no the wireless cameras.
Great, thank you. Had to break out the laptop for the config tool (used 4.09.0). When it loaded up I had three cameras showing and the one I reset wasn’t initialize, selected it and hit the initialize button on the bottom to program my password. Now I’ll have to reset the other two cameras since I can’t remember the password I set for them. Then I’ll setup my vpn on my router for remote viewing and I’ll be back in business. Shame the password initialization can’t be done via an app. Now the laptop has to be updated to windows 10 20h2. The should of added an O to that version number.
For the record I wasn’t able to connect when hitting that (e) button it brought up the correct ip and :85 but connection failed. Not important just wanted to let others know.
Reset your camera(holding the button more than 15 seconds).
‘Make sure the volume is loud enough on your device you are running the QC View app on.
Check the microphone on the camera doesn’t have a piece of lint or something blocking it.
‘Also do this in a quiet location without echo.
Thanks! This almost worked for me.
Adding via the cuckoo noise seemed to change the wifi settings. the indicator light turned green, suggesting it was connecting to the wifi
However, adding in the QC View app fails on the last step, where i enter the username/password. Says 'Failed to connect'. I used the default admin/admin combo
When i scan the devices via the config tool, it finds the camera, but says "Uninitialized"
What is going on?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have disabled the NVR from the router DMZ setting. However, the weird thing is I can still view 1 of the 4 cameras on the Q-See QC View app over data. How is that even possible? I thought by disabling DMZ I should not be able to view any of the 4 cameras but that's not the case. I can still view 1 of the 4 cameras on the Q-See QC View app over data, it's just that the camera displayed changes sometimes. For example, yesterday I was seeing camera 1 and today I saw camera 3.
The only difference I noticed by disabling DMZ is that the port 85 no longer works on Open Port Check Tool -- Verify Port Forwarding on Your Router. If I have DMZ enabled, both ports 85 and 37777 will show as success. With DMZ disabled, port 85 shows error and port 37777 is still success. Am I doing everything right? Should 37777 be open?
For the physical setup, I have 4 IP cameras connected to a POE switch (/w ethernet cables), the POE switch is connect to another unmanaged switch (/w ethernet cable), the unmanaged switch is connected to the router (/w ethernet cable), and finally the NVR is connected to the router (/w ethernet cable)

@David150 Get that NVR out of the DMZ! Use a VPN instead, a VPN for inbound connections not the type that hides your surfing on the internet. Using an inbound VPN makes your phone work exactly as if it is on your local LAN. Having the NVR in a DMZ is asking to get hacked.

The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...ipcamtalk.com

I have two QC8916 NVRs in a retail setting that I've lost remote access to. Reading through the previous posts I now know why. When I try to log in to the units with a known user name and password, the system is not opening the user interface. Is that part of the Q-See shutdown or something else? Is it possible to reset the system so I can start trying some of the workarounds in this thread?
Because it's in a retail setting that has credit card transactions, I'm behind a managed firewall with a LAN 1 for PCI compliance and LAN 2 for all other traffic. Looking for a simple solution that won't get rejected by my firewall folks when trying to restore remote mobile viewing.

Hello guys! I have 4 QCW2MPSL cameras, Q-see Plus stopped working after February 11th. I tried various iDMSS Plus, Imou Life applications. At the last stage, they don't agree to work with my cameras. I do not want to buy NVRs, as they are in different places with me. It was convenient for me to use the Q-see Plus application. Can anyone find another app? Share! Thank!!!
Use QC View. DMSS works as well. You need to add the cameras directly via the IP Address. If you don't know the IP address on the cameras, you can scan via the Config Tool.
Hello! Tell me what is the default password for cameras? I see you are using the same as mine. Can I reset my password using the reset button? Thank!!!
i think default is admin/admin. yes, you can reset by holding reset button for 15s.
note if you reset, you won't be able to fully initialize, because you are required to change password on install. and for some reason you cant do this in qc view or dmss. you can then go to config tool, find the camera and then initialize by changing password.
