Make sure you have no power voltage going to the DVR before attempting to do this. This sometimes works and reverts everything back to its default settings. Method 1: Try removing the battery from inside the DVR for around 2 mintues and then replace everything back and power the dvr Method 2: Remove battery and power the dvr and wait until it loads.Once loading cycle is completed then power down and put the battery back in. Above methods do work aslong as the DVR does not have an internal eeprom usually a 24LCXX

Definitely worth networking and follow my previous post. Do report back

If you know the ip address of your dvr then its worth doing the following test. 1. click on "start" button on taskbar under windows xp/vista/win7 2. then click on " Run" 3. type the following without the quotes "telnet dvr ip" and then press ok Note: substitute dvr ip like this --> telnet 192.168.1.64 if it asks for a login details then please report back and i will digout the username and password and then show you how to reset the admin account. This method mostly works with chinese dvrs that run linux. Hopefully should work for you.

I have a Alien DVR model DSD105 i require the firmware file as the DVR tends to hangs on boot up and pauses for about 20sec on the splash screen and then does a reboot cycle each time. I will probably have to remove the TSOP EEprom to program the firmware. I just can not seem to find the firmware for this 4 channel dvr. I hope someone here can help. Thanks in advance.
