I did not Initialize in ConfigTool. I just connected to confirm that default IP is .108. I left it just as it was in the screenshot. I didn't access camera's WebGUI.
Connected camera to Port 3 and popped up in the bottom table in about 2-3 minutes by itself. And that's how it worked before, but...
So it worked as expected, except no image again...
It is supposed to be Port 3. I tried Port 5 with the same result. Other cameras work fine. I tried 3 different factory made patch cables...
Camera seems to be fine in all NVR tabs except no image. After I try to Refresh or Copy Encode settings...
I got a nice setup from Andy that consists of 4 IPC-HFW1831E and 52xx (I think) NVR. I tested all cameras when received and they worked great. I installed 3 out 4 cameras and they were rock solid. The 4th camera was in storage for over a year.
I decided to add it to the system... Plugged in...
