Bring me back about 17 years

Mine has gone up about 17% in the last 2 years, Insurance Guy blamed it on Inflation and price of materials, so has my car Insurance..I'm getting a few quotes now. In 2020 when I switched to them, they saved me about $600 a year between car and auto bundled.

So you must have had it on your network with the router connected if I'm understanding correct? Sounds like buggy firmware but glad you got it.

You are 100% correct, Something seems really off here, I was actually going to ask him also to ship me one. ;)

That's a good Tip..works well

Hahaha...bringing back nightmares from my other life. I will add my 2 cents here on those cams. IF the config tool he was using says they were already initialized with that IP address, Most likely those cams were tested someplace else on that subnet, he claims they never saw daylight until...

I would say MOST people are just happy with getting Their IP cams and NVR properly configured on their network and security is usually a afterthought. Out Of sight is out of mind ya Know. The average(DYI) homeowner or small business is not going to set up their NVR or DVR on a V-Lan or mostly...

Your are missing nothing. That is 1 scenario on how its done.

being literate may not be a job prerequisite

PROGRESS!!! Take the little wins, Who knows, a year from now you might be running Guykuo's P.T.Z. repair services. :winktongue: Working on circuits with no schematics can suck, frustration, but very satisfying when you gain some insight. This is really Groundbreaking stuff because there is very...

Did you try to read anything else from the native adapter before you put the (add on) adapters on? like a standard 128Kx8 flash chip ? or something from a old motherboard. Just to make sure you are getting the correct voltages and make sure it reads and writes proper? I had a older HP laptop...

it is a strange error however IF somebody stuck a thumb drive in or ADDED a hard drive, A LOT more entries would be in those logs, like viewing or logging in so If you do not see any of that I would not lose sleep over it. I'm with red Fishy on this one.

You cannot effectively manage non dahua cameras through the dahua web Gui, You might (depending on the cam make) get a few controls to work. I have raysharp, Uniview and Axis running 'WITH" my NVr but when I need to make any changes I need to log on outside of the NVR.

I was on my Couch, felt like somebody was shaking the couch back and forth, We have one back here in the 90's that felt like a Roller coaster effect, this one was definitely different.

And Do not take Logs from smartPSS for the gospel, Log in direct to the NVR..As Big red has pointed out before, bits and bytes get lost in translation between the two..
