I have a 7716, plugged in couple 2032-I bullet cams with no issue, when I plug in my DS-2CD2132F-I dome, its weird. it doesn't come up right away in camera list. It shows up way at the bottom past D16 cam #, doesn't show a number just ..... From default my D1-D16 shows all setup IP's, this one grabbed and IP from my own dhcp server. I have it plugged into D2 of the switch on the back of the 7716. So , is there something special about this model it just doesn't detect on the port it's plugged into?

Also you said 30 seconds on 30 seconds off. I guess you mean with the little button on the board. I was holding it down while powered on for 30 seconds. I couldn't find any information on this anywhere, where are people finding that sort of information? Also there was a little pack with small zip tie, on the rotation arm of the camera, like the stuff the put in pill bottles for moisture. Do you leave these on? I was thinking yes, so it helps absorb any moisture that could get in. I know these POE's can run warm, so I was wondering if it could catch fire. I haven't put this one in a final mount yet, so if someone can comment that would be great.

Yes, tried reset, I think my issue was my 7716 was setup with 192.168.254.x's. and the came was 192.168.0.64, so in theory, If it was plugged in, the NVR could see it but I need to reset the pw to change the IP to fall in line with one my D ports. Ug, So I used the software to scan to see it from another windows machine, but my network is split into subnets, so it was a routing issue. Once I put the cam on its one POE into a small switch and put my PC on the same switch with my PC having the next octet .65, the software seen the camera fine, I could re-ip it and change the PW fine, then plugged it into the port I wanted, and the NVR found it fine. Issue I am having once connected and viewing, appears I can't really change the IP, only by removing it and doing it on the other software. I first set it to DHCP, but my D1-16 by default were just set to static IP's, which I maybe able to change or make dhcp possible. not sure. Either way I have it working, and I know if I need to change it what to do. Just was hoping it would be easier to change from with in the NVR once I set up the pw. I am sure im doing something wrong or missing something. The bullet models, just plugged in and worked. Also this cam can take the microSD up to 128gb, if I am recording to my NVR drives, why would one put and SD card in the camera it self? will it fail over should it not find NVR hard drives? Sort of disappointed the nice mount they make is plastic, have to hang high enough someone can't wack it. Also can anyone comment on the big difference between the comparable Turrent model, is the only difference you can manually adjust it with out removing the globe? Overall it looks much bigger from what I can tell the turrent isn't ptz, so you can hang then with a ladder adjust and go.....
