Might help How to Connect an IP Camera to a Computer

I have 3 dahuas connected to my Lorex kit and one is via powerline adapter. Works good. My only issue is in grid view one might not show up but when I click on it, it's there recording.

I will say this. This system is great. I got the 6 4k cams and 16ch NVR from Lorex for 850.00. And added 2 starlight cameras. But adding one of the cams was a bit of a challenge for me as I had to learn all about re-setting the cameras and that took me awhile. I don't know about what IVS...

I have mix of Lorex and use some Dahua cameras

I don't know the answer to that question but I can tell you that the turret IPC-HDW4231em-as fits on the round junction box PFA139 AND the square pfa121 because I tested it.

Lorex saw my dahua cams but no video until I went in through Lorex nvr to set onvif for each camera.

I have the Lorex system and have added Dahua camers to it. I'm pretty happy the image quality is great but I'm no expert. I did buy some Dahua starlights. When I figure out how to take a picture and post them online I'll do one from the Dahua and the Dahua at night. Honestly I don't see much...

This is very good directions How to Connect an IP Camera to a Computer

Why not just go with cams and a NVR?

Raised an Army brat here and would like to thank both of you AND your families for both your sacrifices. Matt helped me also. I read him here and Slickdeals.

I added starlights and they really do have some awesome nightime video! _______________________________________________________________________________ I guess everyone can have a different experience but had I had more money and now had to have someone install mt cameras and knew more about...

Thank you both, I FINALLY got it working. I was not able to change the password and ip address of the camera through the config tool but signing into the camera through the webpage I was able to. I then plugged into my Lorex NVR it assigned another ip address but I then went to password and...

Ok I've read everything I can find (learning networking, Cisco website, here, The Cliff notes here, etc) but I am still having problem (but some headway) with getting this one Dahua IPC-HDW4231em-as to connect to lorex nvr (3 of 4 connected). I've reset, I've initialized with toolbox config...

Just recently (within 2 weeks) bought my 4 Dahua cameras to connect with my Lorex 5k NVR from Andy. Cameras arrived quickly, exactly what ordered. Three out of the 4 recognized easily, 4th one I'm working on. I'm ignorant in these matters (not so much now after days) but I feel I'll figure it...

Out of 4 cameras IPC-HDW4231em-as I was able to get 3 to work with Lorex NVR. One will never let me initialize it and smells and feels hot when connected to poe or connected to 12v dc. Any suggestions? I have contacted Andy but no reply yet, I know it's Chinese New Year. I probably am thinking...

I ordered the cameras on a Sunday night and had them in hand the following Friday to North Carolina from China. For one of them I had to do a hard reset, initialize, and change the password before it would come online but it seems that might be the norm now with the Dahua cams.

Um wrong I have 2 Dahuas running on my new Lorex nvr.

I was just at the electrical supply store and purchased some grey sch 40pvc that states on it "For above and below ground"

Thanks

LOL well I know that now! No one even mentioned that. I am not using a switch or poe injector! How many hours did I search for that camera? More than I want to think about. Ethernet with 12vdc works fine...thank goodness, had to go to electrical supply store across town.

solved!!!!!!!!!!

To reset and initialize the camera- Get a 12vDC adapter to camera (ethernet to laptop will not work, trust me) Find your camera style and find the "reset button" (most likely have to open camera) Plug 12vDC adapter into camera port but NOT the ethernet yet Hold the reset button in and plug in...

OK fixed first problem. The camera needed a dc12v adapter, ran across town to buy one just now. Evidently ethernet to laptop isn't strong enough to power it. So now I CAN see my camera on config with the ip address of 10.1.1.67 but when I follow directions and put that in browser it doesn't go...

SOLVED!!!!! Downloaded configtool on Dahua, Think I did a hard reset (how can you tell?) on IPC-HDW4231em-as camera. Connected camera via cat5e cable to computer after downloading ConfigTool (trying to reset password) Opened configtool, shows no connections, hit login, pop up had areas already...

Ok here is what I've done. Took cam apart and connected to Ethernet cable attached to nvr while holding down the reset button see below. Then removed from nvr and attached to computer via ethernet cable. My computer showed nothing I went to dahua config trying to change the password but this is...

I already tried that didn't work for me. I was so hoping.

Im sorry I thought I answered. It's a lorex nvr and dahua camera IPC-HDW4231em-as (2.8). Yes it's plugged into NVR. I have the Lorex cameras working and the one Dahua IPC-HDW4231em-as (4.0). I am going to try everything. I did already reset the password through the NVR interface but that...

This is direct connected to NVR no POE switch. It has to be a setting because now I know both of the 2.8 Dahua IPC-HDW4231em-as are doing it. I do have 2 questions, when I do a hard reset can it be plugged into ethernet cable or do I need to plug into ac adapter and when I go into the camera...

Though that would be ideal, because I didn't buy their system (LTS) he will not "service" the system, which I sort of understand. He said he tried everything he knew and advised me to call Dahua (which we know that isn't happening) From research it is looking like possibly an IP setting or...

OK I'm a newb and can't install them myself. Had to have someone install them for me (disabled) and don't understand a lot of this. I will try changing the ip address. Yes 10.1.1.66 is the present one with the error.
