Dahua NVR5216 IPC-T5442TM-AS Setup manufacturer information not shown

[craywm]

Hey all,

Received my first IP cam from Andy this week. I plugged it into my NVR, and it recognized a device attached. I added the device, but the manufacturer information and model# is blank. I did not use a config tool, and performed all setup directly from the NVR with a monitor plugged in and camera wired directly to NVR POE port.

I've seen some blue Iris issues related to this, but couldn't find any information about Dahua NVR recognizing model and manufacturer. Is this normal for a non-Dahua branded camera, or should the device manufacturer and model# be shown?

I plan to use some AI functions and want to make sure everything is setup correctly for my testing of mounting locations.

Thanks for all your help!
