Thanks for the link, i couldn't find its IP address. tired Dahua IP config Tool to find IP address, but couldn't find it. probably previous user has changed its ip address

Ya, i have searched everywhere, but didn't find the right advise.. Well the challenge is finding the Camera IP on the network. i am entering , but previous owner of this Camera might have changed IP which i am unable to trace, using other tools. i can find all my other Dahua IP cameras on the network.. don't know why this Ciso ip is not found

Look in your status page of your router and see if it was assigned address in DHCP?
If it is DHCP by default, maybe plug it in without a router in the mix and try to talk to it thru a switch at ..0.100?

Reading those instructions, the camera comes from the factory set to DHCP.
So, as @Flintstone61 mentions, you should be able to find the ip that your router assigned in the router.
You can also follow this method.

i'd definitely factory reset it at this point,
Some routers are crap for showing connected devices by IP.
If yours is older, it may be time to jump up to a router with more modern features.
I have this old Linksys/Cisco thing that doesn't have anything about connected devices in the " Status" page.
But Im not really " on the net" with the condo machine. I'm using Xfinity Public Wi-Fi to Send email alerts from a wireless network,
in the 172.20.20.x address, and the hardwired NIC is on a net with 192.168.1.x address scheme with all the BI hardware.

Thank you all, i have done factory reset and it worked well...i was able to log in and see the live video. Now, i tried to add this to my Dahua NVR, i found this Camera on NVR and added, with ONVIF protocol, but camera is not getting live...
is there any separate software for Cisco IP Cameras...

What is the IP address that the Dahua NVR assigned the camera? I think usually with a Dhcp camera, The Nvr "finds" the cam at a 10.10. somthing address? is that how your other camera's are addressed?
