Thank you all. I finally figured it out and got my camera working. Great forum.

After setting my frustration aside for months, I am looking to finish setting up my IP cam. I've finally made progress from last year — I can ID my camera on the network via iVMS-4200 software. However, the camera won't operate on that software's test connection or my Synology Surveillance...
