Hi,
I have the Dahua HFW2100 model which all of a sudden I was unable to reach the video feed or admin interface of.
I took the camera down from my house, powered it up inside and connected it to a LAN port on the router. I connected my laptop to another LAN port. However, when I look at DHCP client list the camera is not showing up. It is also not showing up in Dahua's ConfigTool client.
I factory reset the camera by holding in the reset button for 30 seconds, but that didn't change anything.
I also tried connecting the camera directly to my laptop to see if ConfigTool would pick it up, but nope.
When I contacted Dahua to get technical assistance, they told me to go to the reseller (Amazon). Amazon told me to contact Dahua. So no help from either place.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try? I've spent a lot of hours/days on this and I'm close to giving up.
Thanks!
Edit: I should note that the network is running on 192.168.1.x and I had left the camera on 192.168.1.108 (which i also believe is the factory reset default IP).
