I thought I would post an update. I brought the nvr back to factory settings and was finally able to access the IP camera and change the IP to suite my network. I will tell you what I have learned from this which is just a rant by me and not really associated with my post. I have since over the...

I apologize as I didn't say that properly. There is only 1 port in the nvr which is used to connect to the router to allow for remote viewing through the network. What I meant was whenever I would unplug the cat5 coming out of the nvr into the router and plug the camera in directly to the nvr...

Yea, I tried doing all of that with the camera directly connected via straight and crossover cables but still couldn't log into the camera. The frustrating thing is: I have done networking for the last 20 years so I understand networks but know nothing about how these cameras are set up. These...

The camera has 2 cables attached to it. A female cat5 cable (I think it is used mainly for direct connect to the nvr for doing a "match code" for addon cameras) and a female power cable end. It is actually the one in the picture I attached.

Whenever I have the camera plugged in directly to the nvr via cat5 cable is shows as camera 4. So I go into manually configure the camera (which it assigns an ip address of 172.x.x.x) as an ip on my routers subnet of 192.168.0.x but that seems to not do anything. To be honest I'm not sure if it...

I might try fing but I would think the client list from the routers gui would show it. I have tried the camera being plugged into the PoE port and non PoE ports with various scenarios. I am not sure if the camera is PoE powered or not but the PoE switch I bought is supposed to work with PoE and...

I have had them 1 room over and then tried one in the garage (about 50' away). When I did that I tested the speed both times to make sure there was data being sent back and forth with my laptop. In both spots the internet was testing out at around 40-45Mbps which is more than enough I would...

That's just it, I can't find what the actual IP of the camera is as I have tried hooking it directly into my laptop via straight through and twisted pair cat5 cable to see the IP. I am new to the whole IP camera scene. I don't know how they are set up as far as running internal dhcp or if they...

I appreciate the reply. Yes, the uverse router is set to serve address via dhcp for wired and wireless on the same 192.168.0.x. The wireless cams that are currently hooked up are all internal 172.x.x.x addresses via the nvr's dhcp handling. I had the camera connected through just the powerline...

I have attached an illustration that I have created for the setup I am trying to get to work. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Thank you.
