Hello:
I have a third party ONVIF compliant bullet camera that I'm trying to connect it to a Hikvision DS-7700 Series NVR.
I can get the TP camera connected to my network and it can be viewed through IE from a computer on the network. However when connected to the NVR with a built in POE switch it cannot be detected by the NVR.
I've tried several things. The camera IP is static to 192.168.1.2. The NVR IP's run in the 192.168.254.X range. I reset the camera IP to DHCP hoping it would grab the correct IP within the range of the NVR. Not good.
I tried to force the NVR to look for the camera at the 192.168.1.2 IP. Not found.
I set the NVR camera settings to ONVIF protocol, managment port 80, video port 1 with DHCP enabled on camera. Not found.
I set the NVR camera settings to ONVIF protocol, managment port 80, video port 1 with ip at 192.168.1.2. Not found.
The NVR has many different protocols: Hhikvision, Acti, Arecont, Axis, Bosch, Brickcom, Canon, Hunt, Onvif, Panasonic, Pelco, Psia, Samsung, Sony, Vivotek, Zavio.
Am I using the wrong protocol for this camera, wrong ip settings, or am i missing someting completly different to get the NVR to see it? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mic
