I need help with the camera Canavis DW672-1P1M

[mrhambre]

The recorder that came with this camera has died. We tried to connect them to another but I only get the image via cable. I have this string rtsp/:<User>:<PASS>@<IP>:554/stream1, but it only works if the ethernet cable is connected. When it is connected, I access the image both by wifi and by ethernet, but if I disconnect it, the image stops and it is no longer possible to access it. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

Since you know the cam's IP when on Ethernet and the RTSP port is the standard 554, have you tried opening a browser to the cam's IP address to see if it has an embedded webGUI on HTTP port 80?

Yes, and the same thing happens, I access the configuration website, also in this case it is only by cable, if I disconnect it, I can no longer access it. when it is connected, I have two IPs, the one for the wifi and the one for the ethernet, and access through both to both the video and the configuration, if I disconnect the cable, obviously the ethernet ip disappears and although the wifi ip continues connected I can no longer access anything through it.

Then when you are in the cam's webGUI you likely have to configure the wireless to be the 'default' connection, have it scan for your Wi-Fi and connect to it, it'll want your Wi-Fi password, save it, wait a full minute then disconnect the Ethernet and try the IP for the wireless.

That's how the Amcrest IP2M-841 is; it has wireless and wired and they each have their own unique IP address and you must set one or the other as 'default'.

ummm, I tried waiting and doing it, I'll try again, even so I didn't see in the webGUI how to select the default connection, I'll think it's the one that occurs before and I'll try. Thanks.

Re-read my previous post, I edited it with an additional step.

it does not work. wait and nothing, set it manually, turn it off and on without cable and nothing. Try to access the wifi ip, without the ethernet cable connected and the browser waits, I connect the cable and it enters immediately. but the fact is that these cameras work with a wifi NVR.

If there's no place in the webGUI to have it look for the SSID of your Wi-Fi and connect to it then the cam's firmware likely has it hardcoded to connect only to the wireless from the Wi-Fi NVR when it is NOT on Ethernet.

The wireless signal from the NVR is likely hidden and/or in 'ad hoc' mode, not 'infrastructure' mode.

that's actually it. now it works. Millions of thanks.

You're welcome.
Now can you clarify "that's actually it. now it works" for perhaps another member?

 

[mrhambre]

SOLVED!!

Indeed, the camera works if it is connected to an adhoc network, not in an infrastructure type network.
