After upgrade to new laptop with Creators Update my backup download folder switched to: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\BACKUP My settings direct to: C:\Program Files (x86)\BACKUP Any fix for that? @MikeMahon do you know a solution? Edit: ok. just run ie as admin ad setup backup dir.

You should power up HDD with external usb charger. The USB port in this device was designed to support only low power devices and protected via chip that burns out when you draw too much current.

Did you connect HDD via USB only? If so probably usb overcurrent protection died. Few pages back you can find photo of the SMD chip on board that should be removed to make usb working again.

I installed it remotely via firefox (IE didn't allow me to - when i tried to upload .update it immedietly failed with error message pop up). Both outputs work ok. Did your update finished with "update successful, reboot device" or simmilar message? In case of any trouble try telnet recovery found somewhere in the begining of this thread. After power up you should get ping from 192.168.1.188 and few seconds later IP that you set up should also reply. If your usb ports seem to work try autoupdate from urccstvstore. Anyway my usb was dead (but thanks to Mike Mahon it works ok now) so i was forced to do telnet update using esata hdd with recovery files. BUT REMEMBER to plug Hdd after few minutes from power up! If you plug it while device is rebooting NVR will format the drive (at least that was in initial firmware). Connection to device works with telnet protocol. Login and password is also somewhere in this thread or you can find it easily via google.

After some troubles i did. I don't see anything new.

My USB on NVR is dead I had to recover by coping telnet recover files to hdd with esata cable and plug hdd after whole device start up. Now i have 2014 firmware. What is proper path to get to the newest?

i got into ssh ant runing ants_dvr makes segmentation fault ....... dmesg go like that: Linux version 3.0.8 (root@sqy-desktop) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Hisilicon_v100(gcc4.4-290+uclibc_0.9.32.1+eabi+linuxpthread)) ) #82 Fri Oct 17 16:28:21 CST 2014 CPU: ARMv7 Processor [414fc091] revision 1 (ARMv7), cr=10c53c7f CPU: VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache Machine: hi3520d Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback On node 0 totalpages: 37632 free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat c03cb448, node_mem_map c0419000 Normal zone: 294 pages used for memmap Normal zone: 0 pages reserved Normal zone: 37338 pages, LIFO batch:7 pcpu-alloc: s0 r0 d32768 u32768 alloc=1*32768 pcpu-alloc: [0] 0 Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.

Sure ... i have just bricked device. No VGA output at all. Restart every 1 minute. Ping reply but i got only onece for a while access to login screen. I had N6200-8E.

Hi, Thanks for sharing Your opinion. You can also try Crome web browser with IE tab add-on installed (it supoorts ActiveX). I have some analog DAHUA DVR which also needs IE and activeX but it works perfectly with chrome IE tab I'm not sure but Firefox may also have some plugin to work with IE activeX. Before buying I asked the seller for manual to the mini NVR and it was mentioned there that this unit was tested with following HDD: "The product supports external HDD only, including mobile HDD, hard-disk cartridge with E-SATA port. We have tested following HDD brands and model numbers work with the mini NVR: Seagate Backup Plus 1TB 2.5’’ USB3.0 mobile HDD, Model No.: STBU1000300 Seagate Expansion 1TB 2.5’’ USB3.0 mobile HDD, Model No.: STBX1000301 Seagate Expansion 2TB 3.5’’ USB3.0 external HDD, Model No.: STBV2000300 Western Digital (WD) Elements 1TB 2.5’’ USB3.0 mobile HDD, Model No.: WDBUZG0010BBK" I have got 2,5' SATA HDD which I am planning to connect via following cable: I think it is also possible to connect 3,5 SATA HDD with external power supply 12V. USB port is 5V only which is ok with 2,5 HDD. What is the firmware version of Your unit? Maybe firmware/software is being developed and in latest version it automatically discover cameras. My NVR has been shipped and I am awaiting it in about 20 days. In the meantime I am still thinking which IP cam to buy... I am curious to know if you got the 3.5" Hard drive to operate with the cable you mentioned. I would like to use a 3.5" 2TB drive as they are half the price of the 2.5" hard drives. I have a Hitachi 2TB, 7200RPM, SATA 6.0Gb/s. It says 5V 450mA 12V 850mA on it. You don't have to be curious anymore, it won't work since there ara no 12V inside this cable. Also Esata cable without external power plug won't work since this device does not include power pins in esata connector.

Open File tab - change dates to long time ago and today. Press search and check does under certain dates of backup files are found. I know this device have terrible UX but Mike Mahon here does not care about it, this is chinesse way of making software. They don't care about user experience, user guide, flexiblity - it looks like the software was build for its dev not und users.

If you will find a way how to do it, please share it here, I was looking around this too but was unable to come up with anything... By the way the filename is easily reconstructable, it's just channel name and start and end times of the video, which you set when exporting it. Why are you doing it in so complicated way? Open config (Under IE start/run command: iexplore 192.168.1.23 - put your ip) in ActiveX mode. Scroll to System Management/Local Settings. Chose one single local dir for all directories (Preview, Playback, Backup, File, Preview Record). Save settings. Return to Playback and use backup button. Enter start&end time and change output to AVI. Press start and VOILA. Look into dir you have chosen before. There should be a subdirectory backup - and directory structure will show you data, time, channel and at the end avi file with recorded movie. IT WORKS ONLY UNDER INTERNET EXPLODER!

Have you tried disabling password in i12 mode? In my case using i12 with admin/password results in no signal. If i make password empty (in camera configuration) it works fine.

Did anyone tested this august firmware? I see some addon's like enable 3g and rstp. Is there something new?

I switch back to the default port but no luck. Furthermore, impossible to register the active X which is not signed. It is a real mess! you have to change options of IE for trusted sites, adding the adress of the nvr and enable the installation of not signed active-x otherwise you can download manually the active-x with a downloader and install it manually then, if you opened the door 5051-5052-5053 it will work trust me, i had the same problems and i solved like this in case you need --> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/how-do-i-add-a-site-to-my-trusted-sites-list/98cc77c8-b364-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5?auth=1 Windows 10 does not allow any active-x. MS Edge does not support it. So ... if you want to use remote access there is no way. But you can try forwarding also 1935 for flash realtime. It may help, if it does not .... sorry no more remote view on this device Come on Mike Mahon ask someone responsible for writting firmware what ports are really used to view viedo in flash mode. We all here know that you are not telling as whole truth. Forwarding 80, 5050-5053, 1935 is not enough. No way to see video remotely while in lan it works.

Remove ip camera password and i12 will work. Tricky and stupid but i found that after few months of fight with this cameras.

I think that there is one problem. Most of us use this device as NVR, and connect ONLY through webbrowser while the web interface is cut down from some options. First configuration should be made using hdmi/dsub connection. This is very disappointing, becouse hdmi connection should be only secondary and main connection should be made via webbrowser. IMHO that is vendor missunderstunding on customers requirements. Like i said many times there is no one in company who cares about User Experience - device is not bad but GUI is fatal and should be redesigned from scratch.

I will wait few weeks for your raports about hdd detection stability. You are an experimental rabbit here. I wanted to buy it, but will wait until some review it in regular usage.

Add your nvr is to trusted sites in IE.

Shoud I format it as FAT32, EXT3, NTFS?? Still just wondering why it formats my hdd if it was already formatted. IMHO - just clear it up. Remove all paritions. But hdd works randomly. This is bug in NVR firmware. And you just have to try on your own to find proper method to make it work. Basicly use E-Sata cable with external power usb supply.

I asked before and did not get an answer, nmap shows rstp port open.

This is impossible. I made a feature request here to Mike but chinesse developers don't care about UX. That is way chinesse hardware never get good reviews in EU.

How do you want to incorporate rPi in this project? I don't see way to mux audio with stream from camera and record it with mini NVR.

Is it a common problem? I never heard about this problem before. Dig through this thread a lot of people have problem with hdd seen by nvr, or the drive disappear after restart.

Did you fix hdd detection problems after reboot or few days/weeks work?

My mini nvr got weird today. It does not see my hdd again. I rebooted it remotely but it does not help. I thing that there is something bad with hdd detection becouse there is nothing about esata hdd in dmesg. Does mini NVR II have this problem solved? I don't want to spend cash on new device with the same bugs.
