I did a search and found a newer Batch tool that seems to work with the newer cameras and changes passwords:

This is awesome and a great way to take full advantage of the PTZ camera. I've implemented similar customer smarts for people so they don't have to understand how the PTZ camera works. They just sit back and look at it and the camera looks at what it's supposed to based on time, day, and other...
@nayr
Thanks for the praise! You gave me the motivation to look at this deeper and now I'm going to add this to my home automation as well!
I'm going to work on some python code that can receive these events from Dahua and Hikvision cameras to tie into my software as well. Right now I use...
@psycik (never mind, i figured it out)
by any chance have you tried using the API to configure any of the settings? I've been spending the last few hours trying to get the commands for configManager.cgi?action=setConfig to work for any of the parameters and every time it just gives me an error...

It's worth trying, it might cause more noise in the dark areas. I made the comment based off the camera's spec of only having 74 dB of WDR (with that I thought the pictures looked pretty good).
I agree with @Matthewtalk, this looks pretty good for such a camera. To have more details/range in the dark area while retaining the detail in the bright kitchen, the camera would need better WDR. But even then, the dark area looks good considering the lighting.
We just reached out to him today. we have not but plan to. Some how we missed his request for a replacement and by this I mean we have replaced others. So we have no reason not to replace his.
The previous owners of Wrightwood did not track serial numbers but even if they did it would not have...
Hi All,
I represent Wrightwood Surveillance and am very sorry to hear what happened to @nowandthen. We have reached out to him to have his camera replaced and we are confused on how we missed this request because we have replaced other peoples cameras due to the issue we had with a batch of...
