Replacement Camera Setup

[glennd]

If not, using the pencil icon, in the popup edit the password to the same exact password as the NVR .

I’ve seen older NVRs take quite a while to register a new camera.

If that doesn’t work you need to open the camera and do a hard reset with the physical button held for 45 secondS. Then wait 30 min again.

Go to the live view and see if your cameras are showing.

If that doesn’t work I don’t know what to tell you.

Show us a picture of the back of your NVR with the cables plugged in all 4 cameras

And unplug one good camera, plug the new one in its place. So you only have 3 connected

I guess your NVR only likes those 3 old cameras ? Never seen anything like it

LOL,looks that way.Thank you for being so persistent.I have Andy checking on another nvr.The first one he recommended was a little pricey.He has a one refurbished nvr that hes' checking out.

Update;Picked up a refurbished DHI-NVR4216-16P-44KS2/L from Andy.Using the @bigredfish guide(PSA for those with a New NVR..),the nvr came online and recognized all
my cameras.

One question,how can I get more information on this alarm?I want to prevent it from showing up on my monitor.

I can’t recall off the top of my head but I think there’s a small icon in the live screen for each cam that toggles that off/on

OK,I don't see it there.The alarm doesn't show up on live view for web service or SmartPSS.

I'm having trouble accessing one camera.I click on the IE webpage symbol and the login page starts to load,but never shows the User/Password boxes.
I tried to reboot nvr and reset the camera.
Is there anything else I need to try?

 

[bigredfish]

A different browser, and/or refresh/reload the page.

 

[glennd]

A different browser

Yes,I also tried Pale Moon.

Close web UI, Clear cache on browser, login and try again. You could have something like a popup blocker running that is getting in the way…
