Will do. Under which 'tab' are you getting the version info? I HAVE a 'version' tab and only get what I reported above. Nothing like the screenshot above. Or maybe you're getting that via the computer interface? I have to work with the TV but would be glad to look and find the exact...

yes, it sure does. The only thing different is the remote, of which I don't have any. And it's only in that section I learn what 'FN' and 'Shift' keys/buttons do, though it doesn't precisely tell me the Shift button will lock/unlock the tour sequence. Ha, I harp on this one in particular...

just re-tried downloading the QT file; it's now downloaded. Not sure what happened there. Btw, I DO have QC View for Mac; haven't done much with it yet as I didn't have the cams working. Yes, the screenshot of v3 is what my main page looks like. I'll look again re NVR numerics but I didn't...

@msquared ; the link to that config tool is the one I used and it crashed, but I still have it. The QT-QC View link would not open/download/do anything. Dead link, I suppose. In your above screenshot, I couldn't find anything like that. This is the closest I could find; System information>...

The model is QC826. I found this spec sheet; https://usermanual.wiki/Q-See/Qc8260901.1178244480 and this from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/QC826-4-16-Channel-Network-Surveillance-Recorder/dp/B074P1SDDM checked out both links; the first is not my model and dissimilar. I already had the...

@msquared Again, thank you! I've got all this copied and pasted and will give it a try. I may just work with the NVR and see how it goes but will also set up at least one camera as you've outlined as it seems more in line with what I eventually want. The QSee I got is everything --no Dahua...

Thanks a lot for this; will give it a try. I'm assuming if I get into the guts and am able to assign a static IP, that if I disconnect from the switch, it will stay, correct? That I'm altering something inside the cam software. Yes, the system I was given is from 2018; I don't think there...

@msquared ; okay, now that my frustration has waned with the successful resetting of the cameras, I'm considering what you proposed above. After what I went through just trying to learn the system and how to fix it, I'm going to assume what you described is not as easy as it looks. That is...

can you suggest something moderately priced on Amazon (or other) as the aux power source? I tried once with an adaptor from whatever (said 12v) but nearly fried the thing and ended up getting a 4 port PoE switch. I'm supposing you mean other than that.

With @msquared 's help, I finally got my inoperative QSEE cams (qcn8093B) to finally show up on my NVR system (4K Ultra Scan and View, 16 channel). I was gifted this system and had issues right upon start up. Though I had the NVR pw and creds, I apparently didn't have what the NVR wanted to...

THANK YOU so much, MM!! it worked. The switch wasn't red and if it was any smaller I'd have missed it AGAIN, but there it was, under the circuit board peeking out. Did the deed, cam worked! Spend all night fixing the other 12, although one cam still won't fire up, so probably something...

oh, and the config tool did NOT work on my Mac; it crashed and I have the prerequisite OSX. I feel that would definitely do the trick if I could get it to work.

mat; I haven't fixed anything yet, but I'd be glad to start one of those 'how I got my Qsee to work' if or when that ever happens. Still need help. Spent 2 more hours today and at least got a new pw and email for the unit. So, any other resources? Hard to believe I can't find any other...

other than that missing panel on the bottom, the pics LOOK like the ones I have. And I HAD some working upon initial hookup, changed something, knocked the working ones out. I tried downloading the Dahua config tool to my Mac; says I need Mac OSX 13 and above, which I have, and it would not...
