a couple of years back I bought a cheap 4 Chanel wireless system, the wireless system was patchy at best so I hard wired the cameras with cat 5 to a switch and then the switch to my home network. Was all working well, but last month the nvr died so I replaced with a Hilook system hoping to use the original cameras but can’t get them to connect. I can access them via my pc and have the IP addresses. The hilook doesnt see them to auto add so I manually input the ip and have tried activating with the password I setup but they report abnormal network. I can acces the hilook through the pc ok.
I’m a bit lost now what to try, I did try reducing the resolution on the cameras as suggested in another thread. Am I flogging a dead horse with these old cameras.? I was always happy with the picture quality so would like to keep using them or is it time for new ones ?
I don’t know much about the cameras except they ar IPC brand. .
