Hi everyone,
Yesterday I bought a few security camera's which I tried to set up today, together with an NVR. Everything seems to work fine, however I'm unable to add the NVR device in the Foscam VMS software.
First I installed Foscam VMS on my computer with a user called "Recorder". I connected both IPcams (2x Foscam SD8EP) to a Dahua PoE switch, which in turn is connected to my home network. I added the camera's (via UID) to VMS, and was able to set them up without (much) problems.
Afterwards I set up the Foscam FNA108HE NVR, which went well. I added the same user "Recorder" (same password), added the camera's, set up a recording schedule, everything works fine.
Finally I wanted to add the NVR in Foscam VMS, but whatever way I try to add the NVR, I always get the same error message "Login handle incorrect, try again later". I've tried adding the NVR via UID (which takes several minutes), and I've tried adding it as a NVR or QHD NVR with all possible ports I could come up with (default 80 HTTP / TCP 6001 as set in the NVR, 88 as specified by VMS, 8888 for QHD because the VMS mentioned it, ...). I always get the same message.
I can log in to the NVR just fine with "Recorder" and it's password...
At first the NVR was connected to my home network, I moved it to the Dahua switch, which made no difference.
Initially I had installed VMS with another user (a different user/password than the NVR) which didn't work, so I reinstalled it with the same user/password. Nothing worked.
Does anybody have an idea as to where to go next? How can I add the NVR to VMS?
Thanks in advance!
