Hey guys! I did a quick search here and on google with no luck, with the closest result being the Dahua PSA posted a few threads down. Im hoping you could help me with specifics.
I'm helping a neighbor who owns an HVAC company and is having issues with Catalytic Converter thefts. I have experience with LOREX systems and like their interface and app, so we have a Lorex N862A63B NVR installed. We have four Lorex E892DD cameras to put in the corners, but wanted to get a little fancy and put two UNV IPC672LR-AX4DUPKC Active Deterrence cameras up, as he really wanted to draw attention to the cameras to deter theft. All cameras are connected to a separate POE switch on the same network as the NVR, none in the NVR ports.
The UNV cameras are able to be found under registration without issue, and are assigned their own IP via DHCP (192.168.1.107 & 192.168.1.109). I am able to add them via registration in the NVR, and I am able to access them via their web interface. The web interface has no issue, but when I add them to channels on the NVR, things get weird. I have .107 added to Channel 2, and .109 added to Channel 3. They populate and display, but then the channel goes black for a second, then both Channel 2 & 3 display .107. After a minute or so, Channel 2 & 3 switch to .109. It just keeps cycling like this. Again, the web interface works just fine, but I need them to record to the NVR. I have accessed both UNV cameras via the web interface and changed their IPs to .13 & .14 and added them again, but get the same issue. In the camera registration field, the IP addresses of added channels switch between the two UNV cameras as they switch on the screen, even when I deliberately add them one at a time via the NVR. I have removed all channels on the NVR and rebooted it, but same issue.
I know Lorex is now owned by Dahua and I have been trying to read up on Dahua products, but am coming up with nothing at the moment. I have added UNV Active Deterrence cameras to a Lorex NVR in the recent past via switch without issue, but that was with older firmware. Please educate me and help me fix this.
Thanks!
