I got my N85EFN2 from Andy/EmpireTech and after getting it "configured" with the software I found on Dahua USA's website, I tried connecting it to my Synology Diskstation running Surveillance Station. If I didn't know better, I would think it wasn't turned on but, the Dahua config tool sees it so, my POE+ switch (Netgear 305EPP) must be powering it properly, and my laptop worked for the initialization and configuration so it is apparently 'visible' on my network.
I'm wondering if I missed something in the instructions which were pretty sparse and perhaps I missed a feature to turn it on because Surveillance Station and my laptop don't see it all outside of the "Config Tool". The lights on my switch indicate a good connection as well so, I'm a bit perplexed at the moment. I don't have the audio RCA plugs or alarm ~22ga wires connected so, is that part of the problem?
Thanks,
Sid
