Thanks Q It was six 0's

I just received two of the Lorex cameras from Costco. I am trying to log into them to change login info. However the default login is not working (admin / 12345). I keep getting the error that User or Password is not valid. I have computer set as 192.0.0.x, and can see the camera at 192.0.0.64 I get the login screen. I tried DL the iVMS program, but am getting extremely slow speeds. Reports that more than 8 hours to download - and then it quits because of network errors. So does anyone know if default login has changed or a mirror for the iVMS program to DL from? Thanks George M

Has anyone been able to get the Dahua HFW-2100 working with Zoneminder. I searced the Zoneminder forums but there is little there. The couple of posts I did find didn't get it working for me. I did find the RSTP info for the camera: rtsp://ip_adx/cam/realmonitor?channel=0&subtype=0 Tried a lot of different configuration but never get a picture. Only get a black screen or a white screen. Running MintLinux 14 Zoneminder 1.25 I do have it working with a Foxcam camera so I am pretty sure the install is correct. Thanks for any help.

Since this was a new install, I just started over and reinstalled everything. Now works as planned. Have two Q-See cameras working. Zoneminder has so many options I need to spend a lot of time reading up on all of them. First thing to fix is that when an event is triggered, it doesnt reocord the event in one long file, but instead breaks it up into many 2-3 second segments.

Some progress. I realized there is a login for the DVR and a different login for a camera. I reset the camera and then re added it to zoneminder. Used the login for a camera and I had video. But now the problem. A couple of hours later I come back and the camera shows red. No video. No connection. I connect via IE and I can view it fine. I rebooted the computer, but still no working camera again. Dont understand this.

Thats what I have been trying. Isnt working. One clarification is that these are Q-See cameras (Dahua clones). I went to Bahama Security where you can input your info and it will spit out the code string. On the first page, are you picking ffmpeg or Remote?

Does Avigilon have a trial version? I looked around and couldn't find one. George M

I too have been looking at building a pc for nvr purposes. I have looked at the camera lists for Exacq and Avigilon but neither support the Dahua cameras I am looking at. Are they supported under a different name possibley? I am looking specifically at the Dahua 2100, 3200, and the new 3202. Thanks GM

Who are these Dahua resellers? I have read that a lot of companies (in the US) have stopped selling Dahua products. Maybe that is wrong. Can you tell us who sells them in the US?

I'm waiting to see the answer to this also before I take back my 4 channel.

If anyone is interested in an enterprise level switch with POE on all ports, I have a couple of HP ProCurve that I will be selling for very reasonable price. These are the 48 port, 1U rack mount version.
