Maintenance Problem Solution
My CPU is pegged at 100% Test if Werks.exe is using the CPU by checking Task Manager (CRTL-ALT-DEL>Task
Manager>Process Tab).
If Werks is taking the CPU do one or more of the following:
Reduce the number of live cameras you are viewing from the 6-camera view to the 4-
camera view, or from 4-camera view to 1-camera view.
Reduce camera resolution from 640 x 480 to 320 x 240.

This usually occurs when you change the USB receiver attached to your PC or you
change the PC used to run Werks. Follow these steps in either case:
Enter your former password into the Old Password field.
Enter your former password (recommended) into the New Password fields.
Validate that you can now see your cameras. If not, follow the steps for the “I have

A friend gave me a camera
and I do not know its
password
Remember that passwords are stored in the camera’s power supply, not the camera. If
you get a new camera & power supply from a friend or from eBay you will need to reset
the password before installing the camera. Follow these steps to clear the old password:
1. Power-up your camera by plugging in the power supply and connecting the camera
using the Ethernet cable.
2. Wait until the camera’s green status lights are flashing
3. While the camera is on, reset the camera by gently pressing a paperclip against the
reset button hidden below the small hole next to the camera’s Ethernet connector.
4. Follow the steps in this manual for adding a new camera.
