I have an IP2M-841S, in hand.
My wife thought it was smart to peel the serial # sticker off and add to her receipts folder for warranty purposes.
Problem is, now she can't find it.
How do I retrieve that info? I have the camera in my hand and just want to readd it to our system after swapping a new router.
Thank you so much.

Re: Serial # Sticker is gone...
Well I answered my own question out of frustration.
If you have the actual camera in hand, you can plug it into a router via ethernet and check the LAN status page of your router. All of my cameras show their serial # as the connected device name, EXCEPT my camera in question, it just showed a truncated/incomplete version of the serial # (adding a _ in between the middle four characters).
For some reason, while plugged in via ethernet, I was able to see the serial-less camera's FULL serial # as an "Other Device" in Windows Network Folders via Explorer.
I used that serial # to re-add my stickerless camera to a new router.
I think I made sense there ;p
