LaView NVR w/ Reolink camera

Awesome, thanks guys, I am now in the web gui, and i see that ONVIF is enabled
So far I will have:
1. the IP (once I plug into NVR, the LaView NVR sets static IP)
2.the port (443 see screenshot)

3. the protocol (ONVIF)
4. login and password (i set that up with the mobile app)
5. channel (???)
All I know now is the channel, but can't find it anywhere.

Here's the settings from the LaView NVR side... (see pic)

its the port number its plugged into on the NVR 1-8
 
Based on this post i found on google, here's how the RTSP settings should be set: rtsp:/admin:password@IPAddress:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&authbasic=64

I tried configuring a new protocol for amcrest through LaView (see screenshot)

It still doesn't seem to connect from LaView's side.. Do those settings look OK to you guys?
I'll try adding in the subtype=0 and &authbasic=64 part later to see if it works. Tried with channel=1 and it doesn't work, so the screenshot shows 3 (it's on the 3rd port of the NVR)... also doesnt work

Looks like LaView is trying to statically set the IP CAM's IP (192.168.254.3, see screenshot) depending on the port I plug it into (which is always 3rd port), and I'm not sure if thats working if I leave the Amcrest side to auto DHCP. I dont want to set the Amcrest's IP side to a static IP because i will probably brick the cam.

Any ideas?
 
Have you read page 31 and 32 of the LA View User manual on configuring 3rd party Cameras?

probably gonna have to read thru some of these pages. not sure about RSTP streaming it.
 
I am going to bed now and will continue reading tomorrow.

maybe someone figures out how a camera can have internet access("see picture on app") if connected to a poe nvr without dhcp

Yeah those the exact screens i'm showing, but it looks slightly different probably because my firmware is a lot older than the one in your link. But yeah, those are the dialog boxes im going through for adding the camera. I'm thinking it's mostly a matter of having the right settings now, unless there's something glaring you see that i'm not doing...
 
it appears as though, Power can be toggled on or off to a Port. So you'll want to make sure you have port 3 showing that it has Power over ethernet enabled

I tried configuring RSTP because ONVIF didn't work for me, but i'm happy to go back to ONVIF ... there's not much to configure for ONVIF. I haven't gotten it to work.

Thanks everyone for getting me this far, still doesn't work yet, but I think it's just a matter of having the right settings. Gotta spend some time with the kids now. I'll come back on later to tinker with it a little more.

Yeah, it is why most of go the Blue Iris route LOL - works with a lot more cameras and us using it feel it is better than an NVR. YMMV

But you will get it - just let it sit there and maybe after a few minutes it will magically appear!

In March, I bought a 5MP Amcrest and returned it for reason of buggy firmware. E-mail out of camera didn't work right... time stamp problems.
Amcrest UltraHD 5MP Outdoor POE Camera 2592 x 1944p Bullet IP Security Camera, Outdoor IP67 Waterproof, 103° Viewing Angle, 2.8mm Lens, 98.4ft Night Vision, 5-Megapixel, IP5M-B1186EW-28MM (White)

I've had better luck with Anpviz 5MP and 8MP bullet-style cameras, PoE. I'll answer with more details, upon request.
