Thanks for the news. Trying now!

If you want to use your own subnet or dhcp server and happen to have another POE switch, you can get around this by plugging the cameras into the switch and uplink that to your standard network. The NVR will still detect the cameras even if you're using the NVR's internet port and assigning your own IP addresses.

hotneutron, Thanks for posting this! GREAT tip. I'll have to try it out. Yes, I had the same question. Is there a way to permanently commit the routing tables, i.e. maybe with a startup script?

If you're in the web administration (using internet explorer), you can go to config -> advanced -> record and make sure both main and extra stream is set to "schedule." This should ensure the alternate stream is being recorded.

Thx for the input. From a CPU perspective, it seems the specs are the same. There is a high probability they are also using a hardware decoder card for displaying video, but i haven't had a chance to check yet.

Here's the output of /proc/cpuinfo from a QC808: ~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo machine : hdk7108 processor : 0 cpu family : sh4 cpu type : STx7108 cut : 2.x cpu flags : fpu icbi synco fpchg cache type : split (harvard) icache size : 32KiB (2-way) dcache size : 32KiB (2-way) address sizes : 32 bits physical bogomips : 495.61 I suspect CPU will be the same for all 4/8/16ch models.

I'll PayPal anyone $20 bucks who can either absolutely report the exact model and speed of the ARM main processor, as well as the Broadcom h.264 decoder chip AND if it has any differences between the 804 808 and 8016. A bonus $20 if you prove to me that you can hack the 804 up to 8016 firmware and have it actually work. I'd love to put our conspiracy theory to an end, whether right or wrong. Note, no fudging/hacking the results to make $20. No bounty required. We can check directly. On my QC808, you can telnet in with the login posted below: root/vizxv (thanks for this! where did you find it?) After dropping into the console, run cat /proc/cpuinfo and the chip info will come up. I'll post my results tonight after getting home. I think the password for the latest QC804 should be the same?
