just buy a Hikvision camera and plug it in, sell the onvif camera and get some money back.

mixing and matching NVR and IPC never works well as most use custom protocols so you are unable to use a lot of the features.

as for connecting a camera you will have to set the IPC to a fixed ip address that is in the same range as the nvr cameras range, connect to the back of the NVR and manually add the camera and set the protocall to onvif

this should help

Some suggested steps to try:

First - untick DHCP and set up a fixed IP address on the NVR, something outside the DHCP range of your router, for example 192.168.0.240
Next - using Windows / IE11 connect to the web GUI of the NVR.
You will need to download and install the 'Webcomponents' plugin as prompted when you point the browser at the NVR IP address.
Log in to the NVR as admin with the admin password.

Now you need to configure one of the NVR POE channels for the ONVIF camera.
Do this in the NVR web GUI Camera Management page.
Select the channel you want to connect the camera to, let's say it's channel 1
Change the Mode to Manual instead of Plug&Play.
Change the logon ID and password to match what you have used for the camera.
Set the protocol to ONVIF and the port to 80 (this is from your ODM screenshot of the Identification page).
Note down the IP address that the channel has been assigned to use for the camera. It will probably be something like 192.168.254.2
Save the settings.

Now for the camera. I'm assuming this is a POE camera.
With the camera powered on and connected to the LAN, log in to the camera web GUI.
In the network configuration page - change the camera IP address to match what you noted down from the NVR, probably 192.168.254.2
Change the camera default gateway to 192.168.254.1
Change the camera DNS to 192.168.0.1
Save the changes, wait for about 30 seconds while the camera reboots.
The camera will no longer show on the browser. This is normal - the IP address has been changed to match what's needed for the NVR.
Unplug the camera from the LAN and plug it in to the chosen channel of the NVR.
After about 30 seconds, select Live View in the NVR web GUI.
The camera should be available.

Good luck!
