Getting the hang of it

I picked up a new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE White S3) from EmpireTechAndy and when I use a ~3ft. ethernet cable, it can be detected by the NVR. It also displays a picture and I can adjust the settings in the NVR. However, when I attempt to use my laptop to access the settings of the camera via Internet Explorer, it does not bring me to the proper page and I get an error. All of the other cameras allow for this.

Secondarily, the camera shows that it's offline when I plug it into the new cable I ran outside. When I plug my laptop into that cable, I can see the other cameras which are on the NVR, so I know that the cable is functional. It's not as long of a run as what I have for at least 2 of the other cameras on the system and they all function normally.

This will be my 6th camera on the 8 channel NVR, but according to everything in the NVR I'm way below the power and data handling capability of what the NVR ca do unless I'm grossly misreading that.

I have also reset the camera with no change in the situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Cordes, what is the error you get with explorer. Did you try the same url on the 'pale moon' browser?

About the longer cable.. first test it with cable tester. If all is well then i would try to crimp a new connector on it.
I had situations where the testing was succesful and the camera was not working because of bad connector/grip.
 
I believe it said that it couldn't find the IP address whenever I would attempt to open the camera in IE. I won't be able to try it with Pale Moon for a bit as it will be the weekend before I can physically take the camera down and go back and forth with it again.

Do you have a suggestion for the cable tester? I put a couple different connectors on, and felt that the last set was ideal. Frankly, I thought the original ones I made were great too, but I did that just to troubleshoot.

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to do some more research, and see if that helps, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
