I am trying to do some testing of a Nano Station and in order to make sure it is working correctly I am trying to be able to access the camera's GUI directly with a laptop. I followed the directions and set the laptop's IP Address to static 192.168.1.200 as the instructions show, turn off wifi and then begin with connecting a test bullet camera in my office powered by a 12V 1 amp power cord and the RJ45 going from camera to laptop. The test camera has been initialized in the NVR and has an IP address of 10.1.1.79. I then go to Dahua IP Config Tool and follow the Dahua directions by going into "Search Settings" and entering the Password the NVR assigned to it that I gave the NVR. As a reference point, I did check the test bullet camera's WebGUI by going through the NVR and it connects each time with no issue using the NVR's password I gave it on initial startup a couple of months back. Now back to the results of "Search Settings", in the Dahua IP Config Tool, I enter the same password that is used on the NVR and Camera and everything goes fine. I then click on the box for the camera and then click on the Modify IP button and put in a static assigned IP address of 192.168.1.33, subnet as 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.1.1 I came up with, and when I click on the ok button and then get a password error on the Dahua IP Config Tool.
Is there a way I can view the camera without changing the IP address of 10.1.1.79 or going through the NVR? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
