    Changed a couple cameras to "direct to disk".

    I reread the help file last night and it seems to say that motion detection doesn't happen unless the video is being encoded. The way I read direct to disk is its not encoding. Is that correct? -Bill

    Finding a way to change settings on a Samsung SNH-P6410BN camera's

    I just got off the horn with Samsung support and was told they disabled web access on these cams with firmware a couple years back. They told me that making a change on their internet portal doesn't actually change anything on the camera either. I need to lower the frame-rate (he was pretty...

    Mobile App What ports need to be open to the Internet?

    I am demoing the mobile app but I won't consider opening port 81 to the internet. That's just too common of a port to consider that. Is there a way to change what port it uses on the server or at the client? Thanks, Bill
