HI,
I bought an IP camera from Ebay. Its supposed to be a Dahua IPC-HFW4300S but the listing says its an OEM version. There are no brand name marks, and when I google the model number, it doesn't look the same either. I have an angled octagon type sun shade where the photos I google show a rounded sunshade. My IR lights are rectangular where google shows the old fashioned round button type leds. No big deal.
My problem is that when I plug it into my home network, it doesn't show up in the device list. Tried an ARP -A command in DOS and nothing there either. The IR Lights on the camera work fine but it won't show up in the network.
Tried rebooting the network by turning the router on and off.. tried resetting the device list, tried unplugging the power to the camera and waiting 30 seconds, tried different Cat5 cable and different router port.
Funny thing is, I bought two of these units and neither of them will show up in the network.
A year ago, I bought a Dahua camera for a friend that was having a problem with some kids and it showed up just fine on both my network when I tested it and at his home on his network. and it was easy to find on both.
Any ideas? The ebay item number I bought is 321566451821
