I got it. Turns out it was on 192.168.10.199

Hey. Having problems connecting to my IPC-6. It was connected once to try out now I am trying to install and having trouble connecting. Not sure of the IP. The info on the disk says 192.168.1.10 but I cant connect. I have the router set to 192.168.1.1 and the computer and cam are both connected. When I use the "upgrade" tool it does not find the cam address. Tried ARP -a, tried http://arllc.net/findipcam/. The lights are on the cam and I checked the wiring with a cable tester. The cam is POE injected and the light is green. What am I missing? Thanks.

No cameras yet but want to start with 2 analog CNB domes for low light.

Thinking about this one although it is at the top of my budget. Still have to add hard drive. Reason it caught my attention is because it can be used as DVR and NVR. But it has some limitations. Any comments on this DVR, GESS brand, other Hybrids? Otherwise, still looking at Dahua. http://www.gess-inc.com/gess/gessu-sa1610f.html

Bought this and it is OK during the day but I need to see at night. Been having my share of vandalism to my mailbox and front yard. Within 4 hours of installing this I was vandalized again. But I could not see anything because of its poor night vision. It is set up to send me emails when it detects motion. I am happy with that part but does no good if you cant make out the pics. The police officer said that I should install a motion flood light to get a better picture for the camera. Will probably do that but wonder what else I can do. Is there a better IP camera? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Outdoor-Waterproof-IP-CCTV-Camera-Night-vision-IR-WIFI-36-LED-Network-/280828742824?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4162b28ca8

So, it seems the CNB may be my best bet. Assume it can be flush mounted to a wall? Yes, I did download/look at the directions. Any ideas on which DVR to get? Not too expensive. Was thinking 4 or 8 channel, can install my own hard drive if needed. Thanks.

OK. Not sure what that means but I appreciate you getting to the point. LOL. I can move a camera outside under the eaves. Was trying to keep it on the down low.

Well, this camera seems to have fixed lenses. I guess that is why they are less money. Qvis EYE-N35-FW-N Outdoor Eyeball Dome Security Camera 3.6mm 600 TVL 54.99 But these 2 Qvis EYE-E36-V2W-N Outdoor EYEballl Dome 2.8-11mm 650 TVL 99.99 Qvis EYE-N35-V2G-N Outdoor Eyeball Dome Security Camera 2.8-11mm 600 TVL 67.99 Seem similar in specs to this CNB VCM-24VF Outdoor Dome Security Camera 2.8-10.5MM True Day/Night 600 TVL 165.00

Soundy> Those BW pics look good and I seen other recommendations for that CNB 165.00 camera. What I dont understand is there are other cameras... Other cameras that are 55 or 59 bucks on that page which seem to have similar specs. Aren't the specs similar? What makes the 165.00 camera better than the others? I would definitely buy a camera where I can see example pictures first, thanks.

LOL. That was a good picture.

The camera is on the porch about 3 feet behind a screened wall. The front screen door aluminum frame in the night pic looks to be reflecting the red led's in the cameras "night vision". The only light that is on is the lamp post out front. Could move the camera a little to the right but then it picks up movement of a flag outside on the wall and sends hundreds of motion activated emails. Not sure tweaking this camera any which way will improve the picture.

If by IP camera you mean one that requires a network video recorder... then I cannot afford that. If there is not a camera that can send email pics upon motion activation then guess I need an inexpensive DVR with one good camera that can see into the night. Need to be able to see the mailbox clearly. There is one light on the post out front that stays on all night. Not sure how much more light a "night vision" camera needs. Hate the idea of having flood lights going on and off a hundred times a night. Well, thanks for any help.
