Re: Private Directory?

Yes, you can password protect folders, but I wouldn't recommend it.

 

All they have to do is restore factory defaults, and that protection disappears.

Re: Private Directory?

you can also create folder called:

.not for children

 

The dot in front automatically makes it a hidden directory. Hub wont see it. But at night when kids are asleep you can unhide i from PC, watch, rehide

I found it much easier to put mine on a seperate USB drive and connect it when I want to use it hide the whole drive in a sock drawer :smileyhappy:
