Yes, it was on the network when the DCHP assignment worked.

Ha! I DID IT! After spending countless hours trying to create a static IP and trying everything I could think of and everybody's suggestions, I tried something different. By accident. I reset the camera. Once again the strange IP was shown. This time I clicked DCHP. I saw a green check mark...

Thanks Chris for the info. I just tried everything you suggested. No luck. I don't have IE so I had to use the Edge IE Legacy. It's a shame. I was stupid not to think the initialization had a shelf life. Are new Dahua cams easy to initialize and reset (if necessary)?

I don't see a green light but I am able to depress the button and hear the reset clicks without removing the board. I found this thread from 2018. Do you guys think these cameras, purchased in 2017, require an email activation code in the software but no longer exists in the config tool...

No. it won't allow any changes without a password. Not admin, not 123456 or anything else I came across on the internet.

They are plugged in one at a time as I am trying to reset. Yes, I know that the same IP addresses are a problem. i am recording to a Synology NAS but that isn't the problem.

They are plugged into a switch with POE ports. I downloaded the Dahua Config Tool software to a laptop. I thought maybe the config tool corrupted the camera so I unistalled it, reloaded it and tried a different camera. Same thing. No, I couldn't change IP.

i thought it would show up in the pic. Yes. If I removed the circuit board the button would be in that location. In the full image it is in the dark area under the board.

Here is a pic. Let me know if this isn't the reset for this camera.

It does not have a door but it is under what looks like a microSD card slot. I have held it until I heard one click and two clicks. Tried repowering after hearing the clicks and not repowering after the click or clicks.

I've tried it 5 or six times. I'm either doing it wrong or it isn't going to work. I'll give it another shot. I've tried it both ways but should the rest button be pushed with power on, or should power be off, push in the button and then turn on power?

I got them from Andy.

I have four HDW4231EMP-AS cameras that were purchased new in 2017. They were never powered and remained in their original boxes. I plugged them in and the Dahua config tool says that they are all initialized with an IP address of 192.168.0.123 which doesn't seem to be the default IP for Dahua...
