I forgot the account and password for 
SF2012H-D. How can I go back to 
default setting?   
Please refer to the manual of “VI Factory Default 
setting” description. 
I can’t find a way to force day mode and 
night mode. Is this possible and how. 
We don't provide this function due to the limitation of 
hardware. 
What is the night mode setting does, 
under camera setting page, with option to 
choose frame rate. Any way to check the 
shutter speed and settings? 
Night mode means slow shutter and you increase the 
shutter to make the object brighter. However, the 
weakness is that the frame rate would be reduced. 
I recorded video file in H.264 file format 
but failed to playback on Media Player 
(V.9). 
Default Windows Media Player doesn’t have H.264 
decoder so that you can’t playback the file 
successfully. Please install K-Lite program in advance 
or install KMPlayer or VLC program to playback the 
video file. You can search those free program on 
Internet.
