I did port forward 18004 and the web and media ports (80 & 9000) and I now see my cams from anywhere..

Can't get anything to come up in Chrome browser or on the tablet. The "Asee" app never connects and the other free IPcam viewers are not seeing the device... it has been a long afternoon...

I'm having the same issue now. Did you find a solution?

There's a button you can hold on the unit that switches the display mode. I don't recall which one it is, I think '1'. Hold it down for about 5 seconds, and you'll hear it beep, and the screen should flicker.

I've successfully gotten the DVR to work under the Android app IP Cam Viewer. Using the "Zmodo DVR w/Mobile Port" model, as well as the "Zmodo H9106 w/Media Port" model, using ports 18004 and 9000, respectively.

Additionally, for those using Zoneminder, I managed to get it working with it. It's not perfect, but it's something: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18137

Hi guys, On friday 25 I get robbed by 2 guys. I have 4 cameras and 1 camera was not recording at that time. SUCKS. So there were 3 working that night and I could record the robbery. 2 cameras caught the guys stealing on my cars and the other camera was in my back yard which does not happened anything. Unfortunately my girlfriend's car was open and they took everything inside. The thing is the robbery happened on friday and the records videos were there avalible to see it in the playback and now i don't know how the records of those 2 cameras shows totally black now, like missed. The only 1 avalible is the 1 was in my back yard which doesn't happpened anything. DAM SUCKS. I just go to search, hit a day and the time and shows the 4 cameras video records. 1 black from the first time and 3 that i can see, but now there are 3 black and 1 avalible to see it.
I don't know because the record video is saved it all 4 cameras together. I have the auto overwrite, which the old records will be overwrite.
Anything that i can do to recover those video or they are there but something happened.

I bought this video surveillance system and set it all up right around July 1st, then I bought a "Silo" TV about a week later from WOOT.

>>>The video surveillance system caught a guy in the act of RIPPING OFF my TV about 2 minutes after it was delivered to my front porch by FedEx! LOL!

So I put the tape on YouTube and someone at Fox News saw it and came by to interview me. Then every other network got in on it too and called me asking to come out to my house. Good news is Woot refunded me right away. Literally about 24 hours after it was ripped off. Love Woot, and when I waited for the TV deal to come up again, I had it delivered to the FedEx station for me to pick up.

Got mine today. Got it all hooked up, connected 2 cameras, have it displaying on the montitor, but I'll be damned if I can interact with the DVR in any way, shape, or form.
The mouse has no cursor on the screen and left or right-clicking does nothing (I tried another mouse too).
Pressing any of the buttons on the front of the DVR has no effect.
The remote control does nothing (I tried known good batteries).

I see others have had the same problem for some time. Are we all sending them back in this condition or is there a fix for this.

Restraining orders mean crap to Police so even a few moments warning so she can grab the phone or the mace may mean the difference between life and death. Think about that and think if perhaps you know someone who needs these cameras! Just one woman's thought.

Maybe a man is being harassed by a woman. It can be used by either sex to protect against either sex. There are women out there just as crazy. IF we want to be treated equally, then we should treat each other equally at all times.

Way to go Rob! Did they ever catch the guy? BTW, reading some of the comments under the stories in your links, I can't believe how some people can be so mean! Some of them want to blame you the victim and give the thief a pass... Strange! At least it seemed that most of the people were nice about it...

Found out that there's a default display setting that sometimes needs adjusted. He had me hold down the rewind button on the DVR for like 5 secs or so until it buzzed. Then everything worked properly. So just a heads up if you're having a similar problem. Before you get pissed and throw the thing out the window, try holding the REW button for a few seconds.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was about 5 seconds from shipping my DVR back because I was at my whits end with trying to get my unit to work. Sure enough, the REW button got my mouse, buttons and remote all back. Thank you!!

I'm having the same issue, and no matter which button I push and hold, it's not letting me get into the video settings. Ideas?

ok.. just found out there is not hard drive..do i need one and if i do, what kind and where to buy?

Mine now restarts on its own every five minutes. Hope the warrenty will fix it.

just got mine delivered. trying to set it up, but it's asking for a password, either for "admin" or "user". Cant find any documentation with the password. help! Anyone know what the default password is?

For those having problems recording motion, you have to schedule the recordings and set the times to alarm. You can actually schedule a camera to record constantly for some hours, then record only on alarm for other hours. Comes in handy for my needs, records motion only during the day, and records always between 2-5 am (sweet spot for night lurkers in my neighborhood). Hope that helps.

I have been unable to get the DVR to use a USB HDD. I have tried two different USB HDDs that I know work but when I tell the DVR to format it I receive a 'Format Failed' error. Any suggestions? I have restarted after plugging in the HDD to see if it would recognize it but no luck.

Did anyone figure out the root password?
Or any user/passwd that can telnet in?

Thanks.

Zmodo DVR,

has anyone been able to use a generic viewer, eg. vlc. ispyconnect, or exacqvision?
im working on a project that involves these apps and its streaming to one of these programs.

password is blank or just enter!

The DVR doesn't support USB hard drives. I found that out through tech support. You gotta get one of the hard drives that connects on the inside. Hope that helps.

Maybe someone can help me? Everything was set up and going swimmingly until about a month ago. For some reason, only one of the channels will display. It's not a camera issue because if we change the camera that is connected to the working channel, we see the display fine for that camera. We did the hard factory reset and got nowhere. I'm about to call Zmodo tech support, but thought I'd throw it out here.

Thanks y'all.

Well it's about 8 months old and the internal power source has failed. So if you want to use this for a year it's your system.
