Hi guys. Very new to security cams. Some time ago I found a discarded camera in the dumpster. I finally decided I would like to identify it and get it running.
It is an eyeball (turret) style of camera with no branding that I can see. I even tried opening it up. I cannot find its IP address on the network in Windows too. I assume it is in a different IP range to the ethernet in the PC. The camera powers on over PoE and seems to operate, so that's good.
1) how would you go about quickly identifying the camera?
2) assuming it gets identified, which free security camera software would you recommend for Windows and which for Linux? I can go either way.
Thank you!
