If you set useSN to 1, it is worth noting that you will loose history(not able to access it from the web interface) for that device each time you change it. You will also need to run camcontrol or the like on said server to figure out what device actually corresponds with that serial number.

|
||||
Also if the system you are using uses non-static device naming based on bus information, it may be worthwhile just using the SN as the device ID is going to be irrelevant in that case.
