This is a useful feature. However I am having a problem if anyone can help. When I click on Instant Replay, the current video stream is paused (I know this because the time stops) and I get a yellow bar at the top which decreases from (i.e. it goe…

Floodlight Cameras
Actually I was thinking the other way round: a Floodlight with a camera such as the Ring one, but that won't work with SS as its a closed system. Steinel is a good solid brand of floodlights. They have a nice one (shorturl.at/kvyz2). I wond…

The IP addresses are the same and the other port forwarding to an NVR is still working. However, I will log in directly to the Super Hub to check and confirm. And I will restart the Super Hub and Router again. It looks like its something to do with…

In Settings -> Camera Settings, you probably have selected the Depth to be Greyscale. Change it back to Color for all cameras.

Does a user have to logged in for the software to run?
