Hi all,

A couple of mates have the Alien Mega Hero CCTV DVRs (one 4, one 8
port) and I've helped one of them set his (8 port) up and we can
access it from a browser over the LAN and the Android app over the
WAN.

http://www.aliendvr.com/megahero/ (no connection etc).

However, we can't get the Windows client to connect (or the Widget)
and when you run the Widget it eventually times out with an error box
that suggests it's trying to access the wrong ip address. The problem
is we have not seen any way of changing the ip address, either during
the software setup or afterwards (On W7/10 so far, even though the
instructions reference a 'Setup' button, GoTo p36 here):

I've even looked in some of the .ini files in the application
directory and whilst I have seen some stuff, nothing relating to the
address.

It was too late for any telephone support and we can't find anything
pertinent when Googling.

There is a secondary question re setting the storage on a NAS that
seems to use 'Net-HDD' and whilst you can see an open share on a
D-Link NAS and write files to it (from Linux or Windows), we can't
seem to get the DVR to see it?

Mate with the 4 port DVR is all Mac and his client app seems to work
ok.

So, we have probably missed something so wondered if anyone here had
played with these things (the Alien DVR Windows client in particular)?

Cheers, T i m
