I picked up a POE and small Dell precision SFF machine to act as a dedicated BI box; so far so good.
I added the POE switch to my existing network and plugged in the camera, each port LED appears to be chattering away happily. The cameras are from my previous Lorex NVR system (3MP outdoor); and aside from teh crappy NVR that came with that system, the cameras seem solid!.
Anyway, I found 5 of my 6 cameras using the 'add camera' tool in BI; that missing 6th is a mystery; but admittedly, I dont see ANY of the cameras in my Routers network list (RT-AC87U), so Im not sure if its a bad camera or just wrongly assigned somehow.

- Is there a way I can tap in to the camera itself and SEE or SET its IP address is manually?
- How do I disable the overlay placed in the feed by the camera itself) its the wrong time, interferes with the BL overlay, etc)
- Is the assigned "generic ONVIF" setting the best pick for my LNB3163 Cams?
