Hi all. Need some help as have been tearing what's left of my hair out all afternoon!
Just received three of these from Andy and am trying to add the first to an XVR7416L DVR. I've changed the IP address to static, changed the admin password and can successfully login via a browser and view the stream and settings. However I cannot get the NVR to successfully show the stream. It sees the camera but there's a red circle under status indicating failed connection. I've checked the username and password but it often states account locked in the display screen for the camera. Tried a reboot after checking password but no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated. It's my first IP install as I'm used to analogue so apologies for being stupid.
My personal experience learns me that the NVR is best suited to "auto-initialize" any (Dahua) IPC - so I would suggest to factory reset the cam (open it up, find the reset pin, powercycle the cam and hold the pin for 30sec). It will get the default IP (192.168.1.108), but the NVR will still find it, and auto-configure (initialize) the camera.
Good luck!
