How to get Swann HD IP 1080p Camera to Work on Lorex LNR280

[RottenMutt 0]

How do I get Swann HD IP 1080p Camera to Work on Lorex LNR280 system. Can i do a manual reconfiguration on the Lorex DVR or would it be beter to log into the camera and change the sub-net or even better flash with Lorex firmware. I need help, I don't know how to or where to find the Lorex firmware or flashing software.

 

I bought the Lorex kit a while back from Costco with 4 cameras and bought two extra cameras and now i want to add two more so i bought the Swann camera two pack for 299 figuring I could get them to work. Got tired waiting for the Lorex cameras to re appear...

 

please help

I logged into hikvision and downloaded hikvision tools and ran the sadp tool which will find the camera on my network. i used a 12v wall wort from an old hard drive to power up the camera. I had to change the IP adress of the camera to something on the class C network ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network ) and then i could log into the camera. don't declare a port with the ip address (ie. port 8000), just the default 80 web port and change the password.

The sadp can also be used to alter the IP address of the camera device, so that you don't have to change your PC's IP address.
