Hikvision Cameras Password

[JMTech]

Hi, I have just installed 3 new IP Cameras, DS-2CD2163G0-IS x2 and 1 DS-2CD2185FWD-IS to an Hikvision NVR, Im wanting to adjust some settings in 1 of the cameras, I went to the address 1 of my cameras is located: 192.168..... it asks me for an UN/PW, I haven't actually set one, I tried my password for the NVR that I setup and is in correct, and with me only having 5 more attempts left, I don't want to try my luck. Any help?

Thanks, James

Depending on the firmware version and model of the NVR -
If the cameras were added in 'Plug & Play' mode from an Inactive state, the cameras will have been configured with either the NVR password, or the alternate camera-specific password that can be configured via the NVR VGA/HDMI interface.
Also, depending on the firmware version and model of the NVR, there is a tickbox on the VGA/HDMI interface to 'Show the camera password'.
