Sprite 2 Network Issues

Recommended Posts

Can someone please help me.

 

For some reason I changed the network settings on my sprite 2, but now I cannot access it via my network.

 

No biggie....I thought...

 

Just do a reset on the unit as I didn't really do anything really custom to it.

 

Well DM told me there are NOT any master reset switches at all.

 

I don't have a monitor with a BNC input, so I cannot hook it up directly, and all my tv's that have S-Video are on the other side of the house, and trying to lug a 52" tv into a server room...well....that is not going to happen either.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

DTT

Unless its critical that you keep recording, I would just unplug the sprite and take it to the tv, sort it out, then take it back and plug back in.

Well I did the next best thing.

 

Went and bought a $19.99 tv from RadioShack, then bot a SVideo to RCA adapter for $21.99 and was able to hook the small TV from there.

 

Then got it sorted out.

 

In the end that was a good buy...I can use it with a few adapters to setup more cameras etc without having to carry my laptop or needing anyone else to see how it all looks.

 

Thanks for the advice....

 

BTW - taking the DVR out of the rack is the most annoying thing....

I figured the $20 TV vs. $22 SVHS adapter would be pretty dang annoying.

and I can connect any bnc camera to this little tv and carry it around with me when setting up other cameras etc.

 

Works real nice and is only about $40 total in the end for everything.

 

Rory,

 

If you have issues getting this in your little paradise, PM me and I can send one to you.

 

BTW - I just used the svideo cable and adapter to hook it up to the llittle tv, changed back the settings that I changed before and everything works find now.

 

Thanks DTT
