Hi,
I had a Dahua NVR with 4 cameras and the NVR crapped out, so I have replaced it with a new Hikvision NVR. I have retained the existing 4 POE cameras that I have and intend to connect them to the new NVR.
I have dismounted one camera and I have it in hand. The existing cameras are Dahua IC-IP9113-28 (HDW 1320S), POE, ONVIF compatible. I performed a hard reset on the camera to restore the factory defaults. With the camera in hand and connected to my router through a switch and POE injector, I was able to access the camera using the Dahua Config Tool. I could see the camera with IP 192.168.1.108. Using the Config Tool I changed the camera IP to 192.168.254.2. I also changed it’s password to xxxx123?? and left the username as admin. However, I was unable to go to that IP address to see the camera. This is one point where I am stuck. Ideas?
In any case, I then took the camera and plugged it into POE port #1 of the NVR (with no other camera plugged into the NVR). In the camera setup screen of the NVR, I edited camera #1 in Manual mode with IP 192.168.254.2, ONVIF, username=admin and password xxxx123?? At that point the NVR gave the error message “username or password incorrect”. So this is the other point where I am stuck. Ideas?
