These cameras came with a a few different Chinese vendors and they haven't seemed to bad for my use. Recently I pulled the IP's by plugging them directly into the router then putting them in "station mode" with a router username and password and have it hooked up to a Amcrest 16 channel NVR. I am soon going to be going to Blue Iris and doing a build out for that with hopefully new components but these have been good to me and I don't know if some of these cameras have been hacked and someone changed the passwords or what (weirdo neighbors) but I have seen that you can reset them by using jumpers in certain areas to do a hard reset. These bullet cams do not have a reset button on the outside nor on the inside unless I am missing something. I have read on the boards before becoming a member and still cant figure it out. I found the 2 holes that everyone is always describing and when I trying using a jumper wire and plugging it in, it is still retaining the last static ip it was assigned and a password that I don't believe I changed or used. So with that any help would be appreciated as I dive into this new hobby of mine with the help of others. I will post some pics.
