I'd factory reset both the NVR and the cameras, if it were me. Anyone who wants to use them should do the same thing to start with a fresh, clean slate. :nod:

That depends. Is it Blue Iris running on a Windows PC? If so, deleting all the existing videos would suffice.
Is it some sort of NVR device? Best to consult the original owner's manual or their...
