Yes I did end up setting it up to keep 10 days worth of video.

I decided to delete some old files from my Q-see system to hopefully free up some disk space. So I set the system up to only keep 10 days of files. After I did this I looked at the system to see what files were on there and able to replay, 10 days are still on there. So then I went and looked to see what amount of disk space I got back and from what the system is showing me, it didn't report back anything. I also rebooted the system to see if it would read differently, no change. So how do I get my disk space back?

About once a day I hear a single beep from my QSee system. I looked at everything I can possibly see to figure out what it is and I can't find anything. Does anyone know what this single beep could mean?

Currently I am running the system as it came out of the box. Mostly because I haven't had much time to fiddle with it yet. I do have a 1TB drive in the system.

So now that I have my system up and running I am wondering how most people record. Do most folks record based upon a motion triggering the camera or just let it roll recording 24x7? I'm sure a 24x7 recording would eat up HD space pretty quickly. I have a Q-see 804 system with 4 cameras.

I can use the username and password to log into the Q-see system itself directly so the credentials must be right. I've tried IE and Chrome. Both have the same issue. I guess I'll call Q-see support tomorrow.

Just installed a new qsee QC408 and I can login locally with admin and the new account I setup under the admin group but when I connect to the system via my PC and the ipaddress:85 for HTTP, when I type in the username and password, it tells me invalid password. Anyone know what's going on? I get the Qsee web service page but it won't take my username and password.

I'm on the local network same network as the DVR. But you asked about port forwarding so I gave you the info. Here is a pic of what's happening on my PC using Firefox 33.0.2.

I'm on my "local" network, inside my house. I haven't done anything other than setup an admin account. Bad assumption was that if I can get to the log in page, I should be able to log in. Also bad assumption, if I get an invalid password reply back it would seem that it's trying to log me in. I looked at my router, port forwarding, it shows that there is already a forward for the qsee IP and port 85. 192.168.1.10:85 HTTP TCP Any -> 85 All Broadband Devices Active

Is there any place that shows systems reviews? For the last day and a half I've been looking thru the forum to see what system I might go with but I really can't find anything on certain ones. Here is a system I was looking at but I'm not sure if it's a decent home system or not. This seems like a good deal especially since it has 16 cameras and I really don't need that many. The price seems pretty darn good as well. Q-See’s QC3016-12H4-1 - BJ's wholesale club has it on sale for $449.99. Is this a decent starter system with decent cameras? One question is with a system like this, would one need to have a electrical outlet by the cameras to power them?

I'm in the market for a security camera system for the house, outside. I like the looks of the dome cameras as they seem to look better on the outside of a house plus seem a bit more concealed. One system I saw was the Night Owl B-PE45-4DM7. It is a 4 camera system with the dome cameras. One thing I am not sure on is that the cameras only have a 40 degree angle of view. Initially the cameras will be mostly on the front of the house, driveway, front door, and one somewhere else. I am trying to determine what a 40 degree view looks like and whether or not I should consider a system without the dome cameras. So any insight on the cameras would be helpful. Trying to keep my initial cost for the system close to $500.
