NVR and networking troubles

see i didnt even have to wait till tomorrow. i went to update the time on my camera, i clicked on camera management and the camera disappeared from the bottom line. i went to live view and there's no live view. a few minutes later it magically re-appeared.
 
Progress
 
Use a different browser. IE or Pale Moon
 
this is in the nvr menu, you think it's browser related? everything else shows up, just not the camera in the bottom line, it comes and goes.
 
Or your network keeps dropping... Never seen that in ANY NVR
 
I had to write down the ip address to whatever the nvr changed it to, then bypass the nvr and reset it that way. Config tool couldn't find the camera on the network and my router didn't show the ip either. You mentioned set the cable modem combo to bridge and let the attic wifi router run dhcp, everything I've read says to do the opposite, putting the attic router in access point mode and letting the cable modem router combo assign the ips. Currently it's working that way but maybe could be better.
 
Admins you can delete this mess, the OP created a new post. Thanks to those that helped.
 
for the record, brand new camera, straight out of box, plugged into the back of the NVR, hit device search and it appears within a minute, took 5 minutes for it to move to the bottom, i've rebooted twice and this is as far as it goes. There HAS to be a better way to connect IP cams to an NVR.

On First setups I always turn the NVR’s DHCP to ON then reboot Nvr. Router assigns an ip to Nvr then I lock it in by turning DHCP off.
 
Can it be done without a factory reset of the camera or the nvr?
Someone please make a video tutorial would be a great contribution.

For the benefit of others - static IP addresses are best assigned values that are outside of a router's DHCP scope (the pool of addresses it manages) to avoid potential duplicate address clashes.
If assigning within the scope, use the 'reservations' facility in the router DHCP configuration.

That screen cap would indicate it has recognized the camera as it should and there is something on the config (pencil) screen that needs changed or corrected. Password likely
 
Okay today i reset NVR and...

*It was not necessary to reset the camera or disconnect it, just do the initial configuration like the first day

here we go again.... unplugged the NVR for a minute and plugged it back in , one of my cameras isn't coming back online. it won't find it on it's own, it wont manually add, unplugged the camera from the poe port, plugged it back in,refreshed, nothing. WHY WHY WHY
 
I have an Axis camera plugged into one of my Dahau PoE NVR's that reacts the same. It wont save the "Axis profile in the config box (encil). So anytome power goes down I simpply open that config box, change back to"Axis" profile, and it connects right away.

Is that camera set to 'Private" as a Dahua camera should be? or onvif?
 
i just posted in the dahua section as well since it's a dahua cam, i read over the 5 pages of this thread and nothing helped. i was able to manually add it to the bottom line, against everyones suggestion and i had to toggle onvif/private to get a green light, but it's stuck on port 80 instead of Port1. i've tried rebooting, disconnecting, rebooting, reconnecting, waiting 10mins, same crap different day, i'm frustrated with these damn cams.
