tomcctv 190 Posted April 12, 2018 Hi. When you say plug them into router and they work .... Is that with viewing with your PC ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithy 0 Posted April 12, 2018 Hi. When you say plug them into router and they work .... Is that with viewing with your PC ? No I can view the camera on the nVR by plugging the Ethernet frombthe camera into the router and a PSU into the cameras power but if I plug the camera directly into the router it's not detected but the camera,s up is set as 192.168.1.80 but the nvrs 5mp camera is a totally different IP like 191.120.2.191 or something like that ?

tomcctv 190 Posted April 12, 2018 Ok. Forget about the 5mp as that is working. You need to set the IP addresses of the other cameras to work on NVR. Connect the camera again to the router and use internet explorer to connect to the camera Enter 192.168.1.80 into browser....... Screen will pop up asking for user name and password .......admin and admin Under camera configuration change the IP address to 169.254.212.115 and click save then plug it into your NVR. You will have to do this with all amb cameras but use a different number at end of IP address 169.254.212.115 ........ For first camera 169.254.212.116 .........for second camera 169.254.212.113...........for third camera And see if detected then when attached to your NVR. The viper can take upto 5 mins to connect to camera so give it time to set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
