tharu85 0 Posted March 11, 2015 I have connected DS-2CD2032-I camera to Cisco 3550 PoE switch and try to ping and check the connectivity the IP camera. The camera connected switch port was continuously flapping. During that flapping I have observed that the camera IR LED were ON and OFF. Then I connected camera directly to my PC, using IP 192.0.0.66 in PC side and provide 12V external power to camera. Then I used "PING" command to check the connectivity. It shows, after 5 - 10 destination unreachable messages, one success message (reply from 192.0.0.64). During these test, I have used all possible cable combinations. T568A straight-through, T568B straight-through and T568B cross-over. As I realized, this seems to be issue with Network port in the camera ? Have anyone face this issue ?, If any one know how to correct this issue ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted March 11, 2015 If I understand correctly you need to use the iVMS-4200 client software to detect the online devices. See this manual for instruction: http://www.hikvision.com/UploadFile/image/2013101807085470436.pdf Chapter 2, page 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tharu85 0 Posted March 11, 2015 @Excalibur As this iVMS 4200 client tool refresh every 15seconds and due to the IP camera network connection is not stable the iVMS 4200 client also not listed the device. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted March 11, 2015 You need to access the camera and change the IP address and subnet mask to be compatible with your PC. Otherwise the camera won't ping, I believe. What is the IP of your PC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tharu85 0 Posted March 11, 2015 PC IP : 192.0.0.66, mask 255.255.255.0 Is this wrong ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tharu85 0 Posted March 11, 2015 No it is not listing I used IP scan tool to scan the network. It listed only my PC and Cisco Switch assigned IP. Might be due to the un stability of the network, IP camera to PC communication may interrupt. So none of the tool not detect the IP camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted March 11, 2015 Try connecting the camera directly to the network. Use a separate power supply for the camera. This could eliminate the cisco switch as the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
