Excalibur 0 Posted August 29, 2018 Besder NVR with 2 x Besder Ip cameras which are working fine.. Problem is I can't get my lone DS-2CD2032F-I to show on the NVR. I'm sure I had these playing together nicely some months ago on the test bench. It would seem to be something simple but I've lost quite a few hours already with rechecking IP's, reboots etc. The DS-2CD2032F-I does come up via web browser and I can log in successfully. What could I be missing? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted August 29, 2018 More clues: The camera doesn't show up in the Kb/s meter (in the list of 8 channels). Also it doesn't show in the CMS software which I have on a PC on the network. Neither does it show on XMeye remote view on my Android phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted August 29, 2018 Now, a really interesting piece of the puzzle: The (DS-2CD2032F-I) will show in the CMS software if I access it direct by IP address. Indeed I have it showing alongside the 2 Besder cams. I had to add an "area" then add a "device". The bazaar thing is the DS-2CD2032F-I is connected to port 7 of the NVR. .......so it appears to be a NVR configuration problem?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excalibur 0 Posted August 29, 2018 Update: Finally the camera is working. After a very frustrating time I decided to give it one more try. I unplugged the network cable, waited a few seconds then replugged it in again. It appeared on the monitor after a short wait. Really I don't know what I did differently. It seems that if you don't do everything exactly the way the system wants and in exactly the right order, it won't play nicely. Kinda reminds me of the old Windows 95. The big test is will it survive a hard reboot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
