Good morning all, I have complteted an IP camera system upgrade at a small restaurant. In this restaurant they had a Northern model # NHT-NVR16POE2. The NVR works fine but the cameras were in bad shape, some had water damage. I have the NVR home and reset the NVR to factory defaut. I want to use this NVR with other brands of IP cameras, for example I have several Annke ip cameras laying around which are new but Im having a hard time, here is what I have doone so far:
Reset NVR to factory settings
Reset Cameras to factory settings
Connected IP cameras to my home network via POE Switch
Used the Hikvision SADP tool to capture IP address using DHCP
Inserted IP address from the camera into NVR using manual setting as well as ONVIF, the NVR attempts to connect to the camera but I continue to get incorrect password.
I have created a simple password such as abc12345 to both NVR and camera but to no avail. I need some help here, i dont want to toss out this recorder that can be reused or should i just buy some northern ip cameras and sell it to someone who needs a inexpensive system.

According to the User Manual here, the NVR should accept most ONVIF cams. Note, however, that manual is for the NHT-NVR16POEH, not the NHT-NVR16POE2.

Annke IP cams are usually OEM'd by Hikvision or Dahua; what is your exact Annke IP cam model # ?

Depending on the (unspecified) camera models and firmware versions - ONVIF may be disabled by default on those cameras.
In the camera web GUI, use Configuration | Network | Advanced settings to add an ONVIF user, and Enable ONVIF.

Verify that ONVIF is working OK with ONVIF Device Manager - having given it some valid logon credentials, top left of the window.

Any chance you tried presetting the user/pswd of the cameras to the same user/pswd of the NVR before connecting them?
