It finally took. I had to re-enter the password a second time in the search settings before it would change. It now shows the updated ip. I'll try second camera later, fingers crossed. Thank you for assistance.
Config tool suddenly not finding my cameras.

The default password is entered into the Config tool when it starts. If you changed the password, like you should, then you have to enter it into the search parameters to be able to change the IP.

I find it far easier just to add a 192.168.1.xxx address to the NIC and access directly using the web GUI. Far more functional.
Update - I had a new router hooked up by a new ISP yesterday and once again I can't connect to my cameras. At first I the config tool couldn't see either of them. I did a factory reset on one camera, rebooted the router and PoE switch and now the config tool can see both cameras but I can't connect to them. Thoughts?

What about changing the IP address of the new router to the same IP address of the old router?
Before I was using a TP link wifi Router. Now I have that router connected to the new router. So technically I'm still using both. The config tool shows the cameras with their original IPs but I can't ping them.
192.168.1.108 and .112
computer - 192.168.0.102
Not sure how would do that, login to router and make change in the settings? If so, I don't remember the password.
And that is exactly why your computer cannot Ping them - you are are on one IP subnet and the cameras are on another.
You need to change you computer temporarily to 192.168.1.x Or go into the router and make it the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Go into ethernet settings and using the IPv4 settings manually change the IP address to 192.168.1.201
Then one at a time log in to each camera and change them to the 192.168.0.x subnet.

Okay, I was able to login this time but still under the old camera IP. I can't seem to change the camera IP address.
Now you have to go to the network tab in the camera and change the IP address.
Now one of the cameras keeps changing back to the old IP address for some reason.
