I've had the camera for less than one week and I'm already better than the official shop support.It was 192.168.0.99
How weather proof are these cameras? I would really love to put it on the soffit above where the current camera is if there is solid wood behind the cover material. That would give it a much better view without the eaves in the way. If it is ok to place there the poe would come through the bottom rubber gasket and I will cram everything up into the arm. Then use a weather proof caulk around the edge where the camera meets the house. If that placement is no good then I will take down the board, remove the current camera, remove the box, and put the new camera on the board but where the box currently is.
Going to have to stuff everything into the arm anyway because the pig tails are not long enough to go around the box and up inside it.

You are going to have a problem stuffing the cable into the arm, you would be better off using a box like @klasipca did in post #10 https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthrea...ne-buyone-that-worked-FLAWLESS-with-no-issues
As far as weather proof, mine is right out in the open for 3 months now with no problems. (I need a piece of wood to knock on)...
"My PTZ for some reason is currently working on the Hikivision/Abus/Swann setting"
that works too, but you may need to enable the 'reverse up/down' checkbox under 'options' in the 'ptz/control' screen...
So are you liking the camera having fun !LOL, yes it is odd. My keyboard does it correctly, but the BI buttons are backwards.
Log in to camera or use SADP to change IP address to match the NVR's PoE port range. 192.168.254.x then try adding it.Anyone who has installed this on a Laview NVR or hikvision NVR - please chime in?
I bought this camera recently, and have been trying to set it up for the first time on my LaView NVR (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881183053).
Really having a tough time here. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here are the settings that I am trying. I am using username and password admin/admin as instructed by the manual for this camera? I also changed the ip to the default ip listed in the manual. Have also tried Laview protocol. Ahhh, these cameras are not very user friendly! Thanks in advance.

What are the ip's of the other cameras attached to your nvr? Mine are all in 172.16.1.xxx range. I changed the default ip of the Huisun to 172.16.1.18 in my case. I left the password as admin/admin.
Adding method: plug-n-play
protocol: hikvision (not onvif)
Only tough part for me was busting out my old pc laptop so that I'd be able to change the default ip of the camera. Other than that, it all worked out pretty easy.

EDIT: I GOT IT! Thank you so much for your help guys. Cheers!
Basically, I followed what everyone told me. Here's for anyone else who is a total newbie and may get some help from this
1) Found a 12v adapter wall plug and connected to the camera. Then, using an ethernet cable, connected to router.
2) Knowing that default ip address was 192.168.0.99, I went to control panel--> network connections--> right click properties on my network --> Internet PRotocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) --> Properties, and filled in IP address matching camera (192.168.0.1) with a default gateway of 192.168.0.2
3) Went on internet explorer, typed in address bar 192.168.0.99, downloaded plugin, and logged in with admin/admin. Went to configuration, and changed IP address and gateway to match that of my NVR (192.168.254.10/192.168.254.1, respectively). Saved.
4) Plugged into NVR recorder, and added camera manually with IP address, admin/admin log in, same port, and "Laview" configuration, which I'm guessing is same as Hikvision configuration that others have been seeing.
Thanks all!
I have the same NVR and have been on the fence about this camera. Do you have it fully functional with your NVR?
