Swann SWNHD-825CAM Standalone Recording Configuration

[PawnDaddy]

I am trying to configure Swann SWNHD-825CAM cameras as standalone devices using the internal DVR software. I have been very impressed with the capabilities of the cameras and the features that are included in the internal software, however I cannot get the cameras to record. I have motion detect set and it is detecting. I have the scheduling set for 24/7. I have motion detection turned on and every check box I can find, yet the cameras are not recording. I am storing the images to an external NAS device that is attached to my router. The cameras formatted the NAS drive and created the necessary subdirectories. No errors or issues with the drive are apparent. Any help would be appreciated .... I understand these cameras are the same as the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I so anyone with knowledge on that particular camera might be able to help.

Thanks in advance,
PawnDaddy

Old post / ....I would like a cheap way to view a swann - swnhd-825cam via a lan/vla for a girl that needs to see that 1 camera. Not real sure she has access to the 172.16...... but i can find out. I wish i could explain the way she had access to that 1 camera. Its an old setup.
PS _ the 172.16.2.xx is a vlan i dont know if she has access to, but im sure i could make it happen.

On the flip side she has a bunch of hardware that seems to convert the cam to coax then to to db9 monitor. I need a bit of time to diagnose it. I also think there is an easier way....especially if she has accuses to the lan the camera is on.

One of the owners asked me to check it out. I can easily bring it up via ONVIF on there LOREX sys but it will not show up on the 16 view but 8 or lee it show up.

Lorex is a bit limited via the firmware, and im not a specialist with ONVIF and Swann. I'm not really asking for a fix. Just shouting into the wind.
