Folks--- I found a situation similar to "the car will not run, so change the tires!" Weird! I tried just about everything I could think of today to get my camera functioning. Rather than suffer from the details, this came as a COMPLETE SURPRISE to me. I shut everything down and restarted. Next after the dot test, selected the language, network, drives AND CAMERAS. Nothing, ziltch on cameras. I next decided to see anything that the NVR could show and with that I left the WIZARD........yeah, even as the NVR questioned "do you really want to leave the Wizard?" ...or with similar words.
And %^&*$ I did! I essentially said goodbye with full intentions to spend enjoyable minutes away doing anything but trying to get this dog to bark. Back to the surprise! AS SOON AS I LEFT THE WIZARD....WITH NO CAMERA FOUND VIA THE NVR...........(clearly seen with the SADP tool)
I SAW A PICTURE OF ME....NOT AS GOOD LOOKING AS I THOUGHT.... SHOW UP ON MY MONITOR! I don't give a hoot about what the so called Wizard could not find, I have it! The camera does all the PTZ functions.
I have a tomorrow commitment so that is out. Tuesday I hope to install the camera over my garage door and the next hurdle is going to be trying to get my system working online and finishing my setup. After that, at least 3 additional cameras.
