Hurricane Sandy messed up my Milestone Essentials Config.

Recommended Posts

During Hurricane Sandy my camera server lost power and after a reboot, all of the cameras had changed IP addresses. I re-configured all of the cameras except 2, which can not be accepted into the Milestone software. What is interesting is I can view the camera and change it's settings in the IP Utility and everything seems peachy until I go to milestone. What is even weirder and what I believe is the issue, is whenever I type in my password to set up the new camera instead keeping the text I type ****** it auto-corrects to a longer password ********.

I have no idea why it does that but that may be part of the issue.

Thanks for this great site and anticipated responses.

In the management application, try going to File-Load Configuration From Restore Point, and see if there's a backup point you can restore. You could also try deleting the particular camera in the settings, and starting over.

 

As far as the camera addressing, it sounds like your cameras are set for DHCP, rather than static IP addresses. What cameras are you using?
