Annoying ip camera password

[Alsan]

Hello all,

So I have this annoying password problem with only one camera I recently tried adding to current nvr . Every time I physically disconnect camera or cut off nvr power, I have to manually input camera ip camera password. If I don't input password inside a certain time frame and correctly, either I end up not being able to view camera or it will lock out. If password is correct, I can view camera without a problem. The password it asks for is the one I assigned when I initialized the camera on the ConfigTool. Basically I don't want to input password every time the power goes off. Is there a way around this issue?

camera model:
EmpireTech IPC-HDW2231R-ZS

Nvr model:
Lorex Lnr416s-n

Thanks in advance

See if this helps. Lorex is a Dahua rebrand.

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

IF you have a Dahua NVR with built-in PoE switch... DO NOT follow instructions telling you to use the config tool or switch the IP of your cameras or initialize anything..! With NVR's typically with a -P designation (Built-n PoE switch - example: 4208-8P-4KS2) none of that is required and it...

With my Dahua camera I did use config tool..with laptop connected directly to NVR. I selected that particular camera and used the left sidebar menu (with the arrow) to change the password. Then it stayed. Don't know if it works for other brand cameras.
