How to connect ZKTeco camera to dahua NVR

[brucildo]

Hi! I am new to this world and I just bought my first NVR (Dahua DHI-NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H), when buying the cameras, the seller sold me 2 ZKTeco cameras and told me the NVR and the cameras where compatible. Fast foward a month and I cannot for the life of me cannot successfully add the cameras to my NVR. i have done some digging and found something about ONVIF? Not really sure how that works and if it takes place on my problem.

The second issue is that I cannot access the camera IP even if connected directly to the camera (through PoE) as I always get a refused connection message. I have tried everything: Public IP, private IP, using the default ZKT port and nothing. Can you guys please help me understand what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

According to the attached guide, the cam's default IP is 192.168.1.188 .

Insure your PC is in that same 192.168.1.XXX subnet.
If not, assign your PC the static IP of 192.168.1.20, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, no gateway needed.
Connect the PC directly to the cam if its powered by the 12VDC connector or to the POE switch or POE injector that's connected to the cam.
Open a browser (try IE or Palemoon 32 bit browser) to 192.168.1.188.
Default user is admin, default password is 123456, according to the guide.

If you see the cam's webGUI, insure that ONVIF is enabled and/or a user account is created.
