I have existing cameras that were moved over to a new camera server. These cameras were implemented prior to me working at this job (no one has the PWs). Is there any way that I can somehow pull the individual camera login PWs from milestone?

Hi David,

If you’re running “C-code” software (Corporate, Expert, or a “plus” product version) then you can use MilestonePSTools to get the hardware passwords.

Install-Module MilestonePSTools

Connect-ManagementServer

Get-Hardware | Get-HardwarePassword

If you’re running “E-code” I’ve written a tool to decrypt credentials from the Configuration.xml ​located in [C:\ProgramData\Milestone\Milestone](file:C:/ProgramData/Milestone/Milestone) Surveillance\
