Hi all,
I've recently had two Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-ZE cams installed and connected to CAT6, however I'm having no luck connecting to them via the web interface or discovering them using the Dahua ConfigTool. A few months back I setup a T5442TM-AS using the same process and had no issues.
The process I followed is:
Any help would be much appreciated...
I've recently had two Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-ZE cams installed and connected to CAT6, however I'm having no luck connecting to them via the web interface or discovering them using the Dahua ConfigTool. A few months back I setup a T5442TM-AS using the same process and had no issues.
The process I followed is:
- Cams both connected to PoE ports on a Netgear switch which is wired to a wall outlet which in turn is wired to my internet router (I've tested and I'm getting perfectly good connection from the wall outlet and also via the switch)
- I then connect my laptop to the same switch via CAT6 and change the IP address settings of the network adapter on my laptop to be as follows so that my laptop is on the same subnet as the camera:
- IP address: 192.168.1.2
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- I then open my Chrome browser and type in 192.168.1.108 which is meant to be the default IP address the Dahuas come with but it tries and eventually comes back with not being able to connect to anything
- In the ConfigTool, I click the 'Search setting' button and tick the 'Other Segment search' box and then enter the following:
- Start IP: 192.168.1.0
- End IP: 192.168.1.255
- default username and password
- All options on the main screen ticked
- The search returns nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated...
