Final update - Got it working, @Securame was spot on. For future generations, heres how I did it: I got a PoE Network switch (Needs to be PoE so the IP Camera can be powered) Plugged that into power, and then plugged ethernet cables from the switch to my Router and my laptop Ready to start - I...

I guess I read the website wrong. Either way, This is the only one left thats not Hikvision at this point, and iVMS does what I need it to

I did see that, however it's limited to 64 cameras - I have 11 sites total each with between 13-16 cameras. Also, I'm not a fan of dropping £70 on software that wanting me to pay before letting me trial it to see if it actually works.

Yes, I have a few other sites that are all Hikvision, and I'm wanting to use a single app to remote view them. I've not yet found a solid application that can remote view cameras from different manufacturers

Ah, I getcha. Thanks for your help - I got a few more things to try when I head up there. Once I get it all working, I'll pop a post on here for future generations!

Yes, thats correct. When I'm setting the IP of the camera, it asks for the IP address, subnet mask and gateway, but I didn't know what to set the gateway as. The NVR itself is sat on the regular network, so is on 192.168.1.x, and isn't accepted as a valid input as a gateway address.

It does initially, but that can be set manually -The bottom image on the OP is from the Hikvision NVR, and I was using channel 1 with the Dahua camera I'm trying to configure, so the NVR defaults to 192.168.254.x, but I've found that it will pickup the static IP from the camera automatically...

Will do when I head back to the site! I was only going by what the Dahua config program was saying - Hopefully I'll be heading back there after the weekend, So I'll update then.

I've read the thread from last year on this, and it was really helpful, but any insights would be amazing. I have a system with Dahua cameras, and a new Hikvision NVR box. I plug the camera into a PoE switch (Along with my computer and the NVR) I log into the camera using the Dahua Config...
