    Cannot connect to ip cameras using ip address

    Probably but it did not work for me when i tried it a few days ago. Once unplugging, waiting, and plugging back in failed to work I decided to post up here. Someone suggested unplugging for at least 5 min so I unplugged it and called it a night. Plugged it in this morning and everything works again.
