This is such a rookie mistake, Im embarrassed to waste others time but I'm getting desperate. I have had a Hikvision and IP camera setup running for a couple of months with no issue.
I finally got fibre to my home and figured I would get my cameras accessible to the Internet. Problem is during the setup I had a problem remembering the admin password that I setup previously - after much guessing, I opted to do a factory reset. BIG MISTAKE! now with a brand new setup, I cannot get my NVR to connect to any of my cameras. I cant ping the camera's anymore. I know i am missing something basic but how do I reset the cameras to a specific IP Address and connect using the new admin password?
I recall when I first got the system setup, I had to go into HIKVision offices and they reset all the passwords for me - I have since mounted all my cameras and the NVR is racked in a secure location so I really want to avoid taking the whole system back in to Hikvision offices.
