We recently bought a house and upon settling the Dorani NVR box was dead, it was working during all prior inspections. Annoying because there wasn’t a monitor to test the security system at the time but whatever. Given there are 3 Dorani DORIP4-BLACK cameras already, we bought a replacement Dorani NVR box after speaking to their support. Now we’ve plugged the cameras in via PoE, there is an incorrect username & password error for all of them.

Dorani is saying we need to get them out to have a look but if the camera’s firmware hasn’t been updated in a few years, it may not be possible and may need to replace the cameras

Any recommendations on resetting the cameras or how to get the system working? Don’t have the spare change to justify a new system (particularly after getting a new NVR) or paying for Dorani to come out. When we asked for the CCTV passwords at settlement, the vendors just gave us the Dorani support email.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’ve been keen to fire up my RVL-001(AUS) Wii again so I purchased a Wii2HDMI adapter off Amazon and tried it with my TV (Samsung 2025 OLED TV if the context helps), unfortunately it returned no signal and I sent that adapter back.

Then I purchased an AV2HDMI adapter. Plugged it in and got video but the colours were off and it produced visuals like it had a black filter over it. So I put that adapter to the side.

Then I saw lots of good comments online about the Portholic Wii Adapter so I bought that one in the hopes it might be a bit better quality than the Wii2HDMI one. But same deal as the Wii2HDMI again, no signal.

Would like to understand what’s happening here and what the options are to connect the Wii up that aren’t super expensive.

Is it because my Wii is from AU so only likes PAL? I tried switching it over while using the AV2HDMI adapter and can only select 480i as EDTV is greyed out. I tried selecting this with the screen off when troubleshooting the Portholic and (assuming I was able to do it) it didn’t work.

Any help is appreciated!
