Add Revotech I706-POE-FHW on H.264 NVR

According to most info I could find, the camera is initially set to get an IP via DHCP and its video decoder is defaulted to H.265 so I'd address those 2 things first.

I'd power up the camera and connect to your router so the router's DHCP server can assign it an IP.
Discover that assigned IP either by looking into the router's webGUI under "devices" or the like or by using a network sniffer.
When you find that IP, from a PC on that same LAN, open a browser to that IP so you can access the cam's webGUI.
In the cam's webGUI under video settings change the default video decode from H.265 to H.264

Is that NVR a POE NVR?

No, I had to buy a PoE switch to go with it

OK, so you can assign the camera a static IP in the same subnet as the NVR's LAN (I'd make the NVR's LAN IP static also) and stream it to the NVR in that manner.

For static IP's I'd insure they are unique and OUTSIDE of the router's DHCP pool, if there is a router.
 
What if I connect the camera directly to my laptop's ethernet port, then a Linux command to see what's on the eth0 adapter?
If the camera is configured as DHCP and not static then it will assign itself an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet when no DHCP server can be found (like a router); if so then that won't really help you.

Can you not perform any steps in post #4?
 
it's a Hikvision OEM i think if its Revotech.
might recall finding with my NVr's search function. remote device - search menu
 
I have several Revotech cameras in use but no experience using a NVR as I only use in Blueiris and via browsers. Initially they have default IP addresses of 192.168.1.108 and 192.168.1.113 from which I found using ONVIF (great free program). I login via browser and change them to a fixed IP on my desired 10.0.0.x network of operation.
