I managed to rename cameras on this system many months ago. I swapped out a camera and for the life of me I don't see where to rename the camera.

The sign of well written software is that it is intuitive and you don' have to pull out manuals, search the web or ask questions on forums about how to do something.

I would appreciate it very much if someone would tell me how to do this.

As a side, is Blue Iris more intuitive?

Found it under On Screen Display. I would think that "cameras" which lists all the parameters would allow one to edit the name, but alas it does not.Anyway found it, but still would like to know if Blue Iris is more intuitive.

For anyone else as dense as me...

Log in with your password, Go to Camera, then On Screen Display. The second item down from the top is camera name.

Sorry about replying multiple times to my own thread. I will start a new thread on Hikvision DVR vs. Blue Iris.

Thanks for this thread. Just went through the same thing, renamed my first camera a few days ago, and today installed another 3 and for the life of me couldn't figure out where the setting was to change names.
