I recently purchased a Hikvision DS-7208huhi-k1. This is an 8 channel BNC + 2 ip camera recorder. I have tried to get this box to connect to my existing Dahua IP turret camera but no luck. It does detect the camera but cannot access it (the little yellow triangle symbol goes beside it)
Every youtube video on the subject of connecting your ip camera to the nvr seems to consist of 1-plugging in ip camera to switch/router, 2-turning on nvr, 3-clicking on the 'detect and connect' function of the nvr and just like that it works -- no horsing around with ip gateway numbers or anything like that. This is not my experience for this system. I've come across an ebay seller of ip camers with a caution that 'only use Hikvision cameras for Hikvision dvr/nvr's' Is this true???
I thought that any ip camera with the ONVIF protocol will work for any make of dvr/nvr.
If you don't know if Hikvision recorders connect only to Hikvision cameras, but do have a Hikvision recorder connected to Non-Hikvision ip cameras, please let me know at least that much. Thanks.
