IPC-T5442T-ZE new - setup done - then locked out - password/camera reset

[dmsims]

So a new IPC-T5442T-ZE

Connect to the camera IP before adding it to the NVR

Go through setup - strong password BUT I lost before getting it into Keepass!

Tried the Dahua scan tool and it will not create the XML file

The camera does generate a QR code if you click Forgot password? but DMSS won't work

Any suggestions on apps / methods to gain access ?

Firmware is V2.820.15OG004.0.R

Factory reset and start over.

If you are going to connect it to the NVR POE port, simply let the NVR assign the same user/pw as the NVR.

Factory reset how ? (I read the manual and that wasn't much help!)

Since you don't have the password, you will have to unscrew the cover where the SD card goes and there is a tiny reset button.

With power supplied to the camera, press and hold the reset button in for at least 10 seconds or until you hear the IR filter click, then you can set up the camera again.

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

After you do the factory reset...

From the PSA:
2- Plug in your cameras to the NVR. Dont do anything else. The beauty of a PoE NVR is you dont have to do a damn thing, just plug them in, dont go clicking on buttons and shit when you dont know what youre doing, It WILL F$@k things up.

*Dont try to manually add them or force them to the bottom pane. Wait. Sometimes it takes a bit.

3 Open a browser on a PC on your network (again assuming a standard home network of 192.168.1.x) and type 192.168.1.108 or the IP you changed it to, and hit Enter. You will go to the WebGUI interface of your NVR. This is how you will manage your NVR from now on. Login with the name and pass you assigned the NVR

4- Assuming the newer 4.0 dark interface, Choose "Management" at top left then "Camera". This will take you to a page (Registration) that looks like the thumbnail below. The NVR will have automagically assigned each camera a channel and an IP address in the 10.1.1.x range** and a port of 1,2,3 etc.. You can NOT access the cameras without going through the NVR interface and using the Blue IE icons. See thumbnail below. (well you can access them but its a PIA and not necessary)

5- Click on the BLUE IE icon to open the individual cameras Web GUI to make changes to your camera settings, IVS, etc. The login for each new camera will default to Admin/your NVR password
The Login and Password for each camera will be identical and the same as your NVR. Dont F$@K with them!
*On initial login/setup for the cameras, DO NOT enable P2P in the popup that asks you this. Uncheck that along with Auto updates.

Thank you both, I did spend quite a bit of time trying to figure this out/googling etc but I appreciate the replies
