1793 0 Posted June 18, 2015 I'm an electrician and I have a customer who has called to see if I can help with their DVR. It is calling for a password and of course after 10yrs they cannot remember what it is. Is there a way to reset the password. I talked with the folks at Super/Circuits, sent them an email with a photo of the unit I'm asking about and they said they did not recognize my DVR, however, what is pictured in their manual I found online, looks just like one in the photo I sent to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was afraid of that. I was hoping there might be a backdoor or password reset available. Thank you for your time and advise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1793 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Ok -- I need a little more help here. This customer has two buildings, detached, and both have DVR's. I have set Building 2 with a Crest CDR-3308-1T dvr to a wireless router for viewing on a laptop in the office of Building 1. Is there a way to connect the cameras in Building 1 to the DVR in Building 2 via a wireless connection? I don't know if I have explained this well enough to understand my situation so PM me if willing to discuss. As always, thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Is there a way to connect the cameras in Building 1 to the DVR in Building 2 via a wireless connection? Is there a way to do it? Yes. Is it worth it? No. It would be easier, cheaper, and way better to install a DVR in building 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1793 0 Posted June 29, 2015 I think I'm going to have to scrap the old DVR, I cannot get past the "password" issue I'm having. My new thought is to move the DVR from Building 2, 8 Channel, to Building 1 where I have 8 cameras. Buy a new 4 Channel DVR for Building 2. I am having an issue with the remote access that I am hoping someone can help with. I think I have the Port Forwarding set correctly. When I login I get the Web Viewer H264 1.8.1 opening to the "Log In" dialogue box. When I enter the information it thinks for a bit then I get a connection error message with "Invalid_Socket". If I log in on the network the DVR is on everything work great. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
