so im trying to get a dahua camera to connect to BI

T2431T

it appears in the config tool, i have 3 there
1 initialized at home that i brought here and hooked up to switch
1 initialized
1 uninitialized (showing same IP as one of the initialized ones)

when i try to add the camera to BI it doesnt work
even when i try to run the camera through VLC or put the IP into IE to see it, doesnt work
 
It sounds like you have an IP conflict and need to get one of them off the same IP address.
 
i changed IP, but still none of the cameras are showing in BI or VLC
 
Did you try entering the cam's ip address into your browser, and logging into the cam through the browser?
That should work.
With the dahua can I just got, you can even see the cam's image without loading any special software. On older dahau cams, you need a plug in to view the cam.
 
no it does not work, im not sure if its because im with rogers and they have that hitron modem that i cannot modify without calling ?
but when i searched with config tool it shows up
 
What is the IP address of the computer?

What is the IP address of the camera?

What is the IP address subnet your router is putting out?
 
well, internet company came by to swap modem and backup for new ones (updated) and he told me to change around where PC, etc are plugged in
good news now i am able to see the camera when plugged into the switch in IPCONFIG
i thought i had it all figured out !
but then i tried to add it to BI.. and no dice =(

camera is initialized and set up, when i use the find/inspect in BI, i see it pop up, when i click it and press OK, goes through inspection, httpget/request - time out, rtsp pot open, no auto confi made, done
and nothing
 
Can you login to the camera directly on it's internal web page? Perhaps you could answer the questions that @wittaj asked above! We need a bit more info if you want more than a wild guess!
