NVR and networking troubles

[bigredfish]

NVR model# and camera model#?

 

[funkybunch]

yup, i'll reboot again and upload a screenshot. once the nvr beeps after a reboot then i can access the management/camera page.

 

[bigredfish]

While at it snap the screencap with the dialog box open using the pencil on one camera

 

[funkybunch]

NVR5208-8P-4KS2E, cameras are 5241H, 2231t S2, 5241E-Z12E, 5442TM-AS, and an oddball N22AL12 from B&H. , it's using the NVR 4.0 updated GUI with the latest firmware, about 2 weeks old.

rebooting again, when i goto the management > camera page nothing shows up until i click device search

 

[funkybunch]

reboot, here's what i get every time, then when i click device search i get the second screen. the order in which they are displayed move around constantly and i'mnot sure why. the SNH is a little samsung cam that's it's detecting, i tried to log into that with my username and password but i was unable to see that either.

Move the .65 one to bottom, open pencil dialog box

 

[funkybunch]

it's hard to click on the camera, it's bouncing around every second inthe list up top.

 

[bigredfish]

Change Manufacturer to Private

Nothing should be moving

 

[funkybunch]

that changed the port to 37777, yeah on the top list of cameras, they move around every 1-3 seconds. it's non stop

 

[bigredfish]

The cameras have not been factory defaulted. This is your problem. Somewhere you changed all that stuff to onvif and played with config tools and stuff.

Make it look like my box, then close and yes it says 37777 in the pencil dialog, but on the Reg page it should change to port 1,2 etc. make it look like mine

 

[funkybunch]

that's the magic question, how do i factory default the cameras from either inside the NVR or via the camera login? i can't get to the camera log in because it's a 10.1.1.65 ip , i can't reach it on my 192.168.1.1 network

 

[bigredfish]

Change your pc to a 10.1.1.x network and access it directly. But Im not the network guy to tell you how to do that

 

[funkybunch]

noooooo i changed my network to 192.168.1.x so i could access the dahua default address of 192.168.1.108, i've been thru that for the past two weeks, this is a huge cluster. i just changed the ip address of the camera and it said successful, i click on the blue web browser, it opens a page but doesnt load. looks like i need to pull the camera down and reset, all of them, i can't believe this s#!t.

 

[funkybunch]

now when i click device search NONE of the cameras are showing up, anyone want to buy a new camera/NVR setup? this obviously isn't for me.

 

[bigredfish]

This is why I wrote the PSA

Once you go down the path of onvif, use the config tool, change the IP of camera, hold toungue to the left while standing on one foot, a Dahua built-in PoE NVR and camera hookup will be a cluster.

 

[funkybunch]

i already factory reset the cameras, plugged them in and the nvr changed the default ip from 192.168.1.108 to a 10.1.1.x, now when i click on the blue "e"it just opens a browser with the 10.1.1.x address and i can't get into the cameras to set them up, i can't even factory reset them, this blows.

 

[bigredfish]

Yiu dont have to change your network. You plug your PC into an NVR PoE port and allor it to assign it an 10.1.1.x address. YOu may have to go to the litle MS Network box and choose it I dont recall...

 

[funkybunch]

thanks for your help, if i didnt have over a grand tied up in this i'd take it out back and put some slugs thru it and put that on youtube. you have no idea how frustrated i am with this crap.

 

[bigredfish]

The cameras are not showing factory default per above.

Y0ur 100% certain that your PC has a 192.168.1.x address and that the NVR has one too?

Im afraid you need someone with networking knowledge to reset everything and start over
