    Yes. I’ve given up and have asked the AV team who installed them to come in and fix them. I can be rummaging through the walls!

    I bought the house 3 months ago. These are about 8 years old and the house was previously owned by a major celebrity (I am not!) who would definitely have had spy cameras modded.

    It’s 100% a camera. I have two others exactly like it that are functioning cameras.

    Yes - definitely a camera. I have two others that look just like it. And the other two also have white cables close to the unit but somehow they magically change to black somewhere between the basement and the attic at the PoE switch.

    So I can get it off the ceiling and open the (empty, fake) battery compartment. But can’t figure out how to open up the thing to look inside… anyone familiar with them? I don’t see any screws. I tried twisting it. And didn’t see any latches other than for the battery compartment. Sorry...

    Then I must be wrong. It is what the camera looks like. There are two other similar looking camera and they are plugged into the ports in the attic (and working). I will try to take the camera down.

    Tried it in one of the definitely working ports. And no blinking and no change in message.

    Also I’m fairly certain this is the camera: https://wifispycameras.com/products/copy-of-wf-404-sony-1080p-imx323-chip-super-low-light-spy-camera-with-wifi-digital-ip-signal-recording-remote-internet-access-camera-hidden-hidden-in-a-residential-fake-brk-smoke-detector-with-viewing-and-power-options

    figured. I’ve set up another camera to look at the NVR monitor so I can see it on my phone and don’t have to keep running up and down

    I should clarify. I moved it to an empty port. Should I have swapped it with a camera in a port I know is working?

    I moved it over. No change - no blinking and the screen still says login return time is up.

    So - the good news - whoever set up the switch used white cables for the outdoor cams and black ones for indoor. There were four black ones. The top two were blinking green and sure enough when I unplugged them they correspond to the two functioning indoor cams. The other two were not...

    Newbie needs some help!

    There are 11 cameras. 1 is a feed from the front gate. It has an IP address that starts in 172 (all the others start with a 10… not sure why that is?). I find this one disappears when I unplug the NVR or lose Internet by mistake but it eventually comes back on its own after a few hours (I...

    Not sure if this is helpful but I just found “Onvif” for the camera.

    Never mind! I put the HDMI cable in the wrong plug. It’s back up now. But I’m getting a “login return time is up” on camera 2 and the error on camera 10 changed to “can not find the network host”

    So - the good news. I took the NVR out of the rack and found this label. So NVR is ENS. Bad news is I hit the power button by accident and my interface now says “Decode Not Enable.” How do I get it back up and running? I tried to take down the camera but it is hidden inside a smoke detector...

    Newbie needs some help!

    I wish I could tell you. I apologize again that I’m brand new at this. I assumed I’d find the NVR make/model and camera make/model in the NVR web interface. But “System” doesn’t seem to have that type of info. And I didn’t see any brand identifiers on the NVR box itself. For the camera - it...

    Hi! Thanks for answering. Here’s a shot of the error screen. Also the front and back of the NVR and the main menu page… The camera on channel 10 is the one I want to fix. It says IP is 100.0.1.113.

    Newbie needs some help!

    I purchased a home with an existing system of IP cameras. The professional AV team that had installed it years earlier was less than helpful and tried to substantially overcharge me to fix them. All are now working but one. The last one is giving me a login runtime error. I’d like some help...
