Hi Guys!
I am back. first i want to say thank you for all the help, especially from guys like Fenderman. so i went with the recommendations and got the hikvision 2cd3223i cameras. i am trying to test them out via laptop, but i cant seem to turn the camera on! i ran the SADP software but its not detecting the camera( i tried typing the default ip address too) do i need a power source when testing? i have the camera plugged into the laptop Ethernet port. is this my mistake?
