Tone 0 Posted April 5, 2014 I have a Hikvision 3 mp IP camera (DS-2CD2032-1) and AVTECH 401 NVR, they're both ONVIF complainant but I cant seem to connect the camera through the NVR. when I click IP search its lists it but when I click connect it just says connecting then video lost. My guess is its not communicating right. The camera works fine when I connect it to directly to the router. I am able to log in Hikvision software and see live view. I changed the default IP address to 192.168.1.240 and it comes up on the the IP search on the NVR as (192.168.1.240/onvif/unknown) and the status (unused), I click connect and save and nothing. I have a little Knowledge on computer networking but not a whole lot, I been messing with this setup for a few days now and would really appreciate some help.

MaxIcon 0 Posted April 8, 2014 ONVIF isn't a very reliable standard. It's getting better, but is still unpredictable. You might want to try connecting with the camera's streaming parameters instead of ONVIF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
