Ya, I'm guessing now its the cable.
I think IPPower is same owner as Nelly's Security. And they used to rebrand hikvision cameras. But they've stop rebranding hikvision cameras few years ago and switch to Uniview now.
If the camera has a power source ( because routers are NOT Poe) then yes, the camera switches over to 192.168.1.108....if it has not been initialized. If it has been initialized you'd need that ( User/Pass) to log in to 192.168.1.(whatever assigned by router)
FWIW, Nelly's "R" series cams are Raysharp.

Wiring standard 568B is almost always used for connection between NVRs, Switches, IP Cameras and Routers, and you can freely use CAT5e cables because in most cases the cameras have a throughput (speed) of up to 100Mbps, and CAT5e cables can provide a speed of up to 1GBps and up to 100 meters away. (and of course CAT6 is better)
I saw all of the 5442's on the bench with the new NVR...not sure what you are asking??
I have done this, and don't have the login info of the camera, as it does not have the same password as the old NVR that it was connected to. So no idea what the password would be for the camera...You still should be able to connect to each camera with a computer.
Unplug from the NVR, find the IP address assigned to the camera by the NVR in NVR settings.
Plug camera into a POE switch. Work on one camera at a time.
Plug a computer into the same POE switch.
Change the computers IP address to be in the same range as the cameras IP address
If the cameras IP is 10.5.2.4 for example then the computers IP address needs to be in the same range.
With a web browser, type in the IP address of given camera. And see if you can connect.

Ok let’s stick with that and the 5442.
The cameras all dropped down into the bottom half, and the one I configured is working properly, so I know my configuration for the 5442's is correct. Now I need to investigate the wiring.
A cable terminated T568A on both ends would be functionally the same as a cable terminated with T568B on both ends and both would be considered "straight-thru", not "cross-over."...only the 2 data pairs to pins 1/2 and 3/6 would be colored differently.
I agree with everything you said, and it's my mistake because in my previous post I forgot to say that a long time ago, a crossover cable was used for networking (connecting) only two computers with each other, i.e. on one end of the cable is standard 568A and on the other 568B.A cable terminated T568A on both ends would be functionally the same as a cable terminated with T568B on both ends and both would be considered "straight-thru", not "cross-over."...only the 2 data pairs to pins 1/2 and 3/6 would be colored differently.
A cross-over (X-over) cable is terminated T568A on one end and T568B on the other which was needed to connect 2 computers...but that's somewhat dated since the development of "Auto MDI-X" Ethernet interfaces by Hewlett Packard over 15 years ago, IIRC. Most NIC's, switches and router sold today provide the Auto MDI-X function and so you can use either cable, straight-thru or cross-over, on any Ethernet device.
Yeah, T-568B is my personal favorite and I really appreciate most of the U.S. sticking with it as well, makes it easier on this old fart....But I kind of like to stick to the 568B standard and I connected and crimped my entire network and all LAN cables according to the 568B standard.
