But really, the instructions are useless for trying to link the camera with another brand NVR. They have detailed diagrams on how to mount it though, so when that time comes itll be able to withstand a direct hit from a tornado.

Good luck trying to read and understand. They are littered with errors as though they are copy and paste Google translations.

Going back to the fix if you haven’t got it working yet with the scan program.

Plug your computer on the same network switch as the camera if possible. Go to your network adapter Settings. Click properties, and go to IP4 settings. Change the IP address from DHCP to Static, and pick an address near the same as the camera. So if the camera is 10.1.10.85, use 10.1.10.86.

Now you should be able to log into the camera by using Internet Explorer by typing in the address in the URL. Yes internet explorer, and go through the song and dance of installing an Active X plunging. These can be pain as they don’t get them signed and you have to force it to install.

Once logged in you can go into the settings of the camera and change cameras IP address to an address similar to your other cameras. So if your cameras use IP addresses 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.116, You can put the new camera as 192.168.1.117. Or use DHCP.

Save the new settings and let the camera reboot, and it should be now in the range of the other cameras.

Make sure to put you computer back in DHCP mode.

You can also download some software called Advanced Port Scanner to see if your computer can see the new camera.
