Regarding this, I don't know what changed from last night before I went to bed until this morning. I didn't change anything. I was able to access the cameras last night before bed but couldn't this morning. I wonder if Microsoft made changes via updates?

I am able to access the 2 cameras via the 10.1.1.X subnet if they are connected directly to the laptop via POE switch but cannot access them if they are connected to the Lorex N882A63 NVR and it worked through the NVR for the last 2 days. So, I'm at a loss.
If I learned one thing today, it's that I have a LOT to learn. Thank God there are those who are willing to help out others. I'd be lost without this site.

OK now I'm really confused
Are the cameras right now physically plugged into the same holes they were yesterday/
If so, what holes? NVR Poe Ports or an external switch?
You show a pic of trying to access a camera at 192.169.2.227
Is that the NVR address? Or the camera address directly

Yes, I can see the cameras no problem in Live View of the NVR and the Lorex Cloud App
His post 3 says they are and doesn't this show trying to access it thru the NVR? (or maybe I AM the one mixing up posters LOL).
My neighbors is a Lorex and has the same issues with that blank screen. I think it is the Lorex firmware trying to F people up not using Lorex stuff (even though all Dahua LOL).
We just connect it to a POE switch now when we need to access the camera GUI.

From Post #30
Neither LPR camera is connected to the NVR currently. If I connect either one to the POE switch directly, neither report an IP address and I scanned two different sets of values
The cameras as I've said, are sitting at 10.1.1.x and when you plug them into an external switch on your LAN which is using 192.169.2.X will NOT be discovered.
If they are then plugged back into the NVR PoE ports, and like the pic you can get to it with a browser, through the IE icon in the NVR GUI, but get a blank white screen ( as shown) its a browser rendering issue not a networking issue

Ok, let me clarify. If the cameras are connected to the NVR in their usual ports (as they were for the last few days), the web GUI will not be accessible, regardless of browser used. If I unplug the cameras from the NVR and connect them to an external POE switch and to the laptop directly, I CAN access the cameras, via 10.1.1.76 and 10.1.1.77

I have a couple of Dahua cameras on Dahua NVrs that do the same thing.
It takes a second login attempt to open them as its a browser not handling plugin well issue
I'll make a quick video

Yep, same thing with my neighbors Lorex. It is something between the NVR and the browser that gives it just that blank white screen. Multiple attempts and refreshes did nothing.
Yes, same here. No matter which browser I use or how many refreshes, it stays blank white, and it worked fine for the last few days until this morning.
It going to be a pain if I need to make adjustments to these 2 cameras, but no budget for a new NVR at the moment. I have the TPlink external POE switch and will connect it when I need to make adjustments. Ce la vee
Here's a question. I did download and install the player plug-in to show video, could that be the issue? If so, how do I disable it?

I have two Dahua cams that do similar regardless of NVR switch or PoE switch. No similarities between them, one is a PTZ on external switch and one is an older 5231 Z12 on the NVR PoE
Sometimes they'll load to the blank screen and not render, sometimes it will take minutes just to get to that point.
On both, I close the browser, and immediately open it a second time using the IE icon and they magically render the GUI

The difference is yours shows it spinning "connecting" whereas his and my neighbor shows it actually get to the IP address and the spinny thing stops but the screen is white.
I don't think so because we tried it on two of my neighbors computers and two of mine I brought down, including one that I wipe a clean Win install after every use just because of issues like this. Nothing. Just that blank screen.
It is why I am convinced it is something weird with the Lorex firmware, which is weird because it worked fine and then it stopped.
And even weirder is if I try to open the NVR in Edge, a "install Chrome pop up" appears that is some extension for within Chrome, but we are not using Chrome LOL.

If I wait 2-4 minutes that one will too exactly the same. It just takes longer getting to that point many times

I hear ya, believe me I have closed and retried, refreshed, left it sit there for 15+ minutes.
In my neighbors case it is the old NVR gui trying to open a new camera GUI. Why it worked for awhile and now not, who knows.

This looks like version 3 GUI that my Lorex and 5442 cameras have. The 2 LPR cameras have version 5 GUI. I have no issues loading version 3 GUI's but having trouble with version 5.
