Hikivision hilook nvr with 3rd party cameras 4 work on motion detection ONE does not?

[Benscott]

Gday been mucking around with honeywell cameras on a hilook NVR. I have 4 of the honeywell cameras recording motion event but I originally had a cheap chineese brand camera that wouldn't record motion I thought it was the camera so today I purchased another honeywell camera its slightly differetn from my other 4 honeywell cameras but the time era is right and the webfaced GUI is very similar..

what am I missing or what can I try... the odd honeywell camera that wont motion detect actually has h265 but the other honeywells only have h264 Ive set h264 to all cameras I even changed the bitrate down to make them all the same what else can I check or what am I missing?


The 4 x honeywell that work are HEW4PRW3

The one that wont motion detect on nvr port 5 is H4W4PER3 dome type.

Im using ONVIF as well its the only way I could get them working on the NVR

thanks

FWIW, both camera models appear to be OEM'd by Dahua so hence the need for ONVIF with a Hikvision/Hilook NVR.

Have you tried logging in with ODM and comparing ONVIF parameters between a working cam and a non-working cam?

I havent yet what I want to do is to try and check motion is enabled on the cam that isnt working on its web base GUI problem is I can never log into it unless I hard reset it. If I put it back into my POE only I can use the armcrest tool it ifinds the camera it tells me the ip address the gateway and subnet mask yet I it will not allow me to login to it at all login fails and Im using the correct user name and password for the cam whats up with that?

Thanks

A hard reset will set it to 192.168.1.108.
Plugging it into a NVR POE port will be in a different subnet so don't plug it in there.
Instead power the cam with a 12VDC wall wart, POE switch or POE injector.
Set your PC/laptop to a static IP of 192.168.1.100, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, gateway/prefered DNS not needed.
Plug the PC directly into the cam (if 12VDC adapter) or into the POE injector's LAN port or POE switch.
Open browser (IE or Palemoon 32 bit) to 192.168.1.108.

Also - the Events section of ODM will show, independent of the NVR, if the camera is actually generating motion events for the NVR to be triggered by.
Compare the events from one of the working cameras.
But ODM will need valid credentials to log in to the camera.

** Edit ** From what I recall - for ONVIF use, some Dahua firmware needs an ONVIF user to be defined.
