    Thanx for the additional info! I guess I should have said that I would like a recommendation for either a Lorex or Dahua NVR since that is what my cameras are.

    No, we could not see the video on the NVR, we got a config-18 error. So I'm home and we plugged the camera in using one of my hard drive power adapters and we can see the camera in the config tool (using ancient windows laptop) The camera popped up immediately with the 10.1.1.68 ip... Now I...

    ok i’ll try this tonight if we have a power supply that will work. (so maybe like a power supply for one of my external hard drives???) so i reset first? and a reset should change it back to a 192 ip?

    i have read the formums and wikis and a lot of it is “greek” to me.... this is for our home. i bought the lorex based on rave reviews for it at slickdeals and chose the starlight’s because they were supposed to come with it. They don’t connect to my NVR, i can’t see them on my computer and they...

    i even specifically asked, before ordering, if these would work directly with the costco lorex system and i was told yes... if i needed extra items (i.e. power) i wasn't told that and there is no power where we are placing them (if they ever work) which is why we have POE.

    yes... directly into the computer... assumed they power that way since they are supposed to be POE. we do not have an adapter as we bought them specifically to add to the POE lorex system.

    unfortunately we don't have a 12v power adapter (we bought these as POE to go with the lorex system. we did do the button press while attached to the computer (and also the nvr since we were trying everything.) we'll try that again this evening... i'll have to see what we can figure out with...

    We hooked them up to the NVR first and yes, they were showing a name of 10.1.1.68. Then we tried hooking it up to the computer and it wouldn't find either the 192.168.1.108 or 10.1.1.68. Tried to reset and nothing..... I don't know how to give the computer a new ip address (and as much...
