has anyone here tried to set up a ip wifi type camera to a nvr recorder that is connected to your own network thru a network switch? i asked this on another forum and got 1 person to give some ideas but none of those worked . but i do not think that person is understanding what i'm asking.
i got a nvr from ebay for a few buck new jst to test it for connection. i asked the seller a hundred questions about connecting it and they said it would but i can't get it connected.
i have onvif p2p and some other formats and not one connects to it . the nvr does see my network and it actually connects to a dvr i have on the table i use to test bullet cameras.
he said to try manual i did also tried automatic but all it connects to is that dvr. i have another dvr that has 8 cameras on it and i can see those camera on both dvr. thru 2 phone apps the tinycam and the ipcam apps plus the ip cams that are the ptz type you see for baby watching inside the house.
i have 5 of them connected to tinycam and the ipcam app on my phone plus the dvr cameras and i see them perfect. i want to connect the ip ptz cams to a nvr becasue some other forums said those cams are digital and will not be seen by a dvr. but the nvr will both kinds of cameras.
this nvr will not connect directly to my cameras it connects to the network along with all my cameras and then the program on this nvr is suppose to connect to them automatically.
so maybe someone here has done this and lend a hand in what i may be doing wrong.
this is what i have now and it works
a zmodo dvr with 8 outside cameras that i see on tinycam
5 ip type cams that were wifi but i reconfigured them for lan and they are now all hard wired into a netgear network switch and i see them on tinycam and ip cam apps on a phone and table plus i can see them on my pc when i type in their ip address and port numbers. i have assigned all those cameras different port number that are not the normal 80 20 21 oe 554
a no name dvr that is the same h.264 format as the zmodo and has the same connections on hte back of it which what they tell me a re analog dvr's
now i can see all this on my apps and the ip cams on my pc. all the ports are forwarded as well so i can see them all away from home.
so i get this nvr and some other forums told me this is what i had to get so i could see the ip cams not necessarily the cams on the dvr's but it picks up the test dvr with 3 cams on it and nothing else.
it has the same configuration as the test dvr has so i set it up the same way only changing the ip address and port numbers so i could see them on my router, and i do see them on my router.
if i let it run in auto mode it finds the test dvr, if i run it manual it finds the test dvr, and nothing else. if i input any ip cam it changes the ip cams parameters so then i can't see that cam on my apps. i have to go into that cams parameters and change it back so my apps will find it again.
it seems to me this nvr should not be changing anything but only looking for something.
so tell me what am i missing. the=is nvr is called digital recording dvr model nvr6208 and no more number are on it. but ebay has lots of this type on it.
now i did not get an expensive unit for this reason if i could not get it to go i would not be out lots of money. and so far it is proving me correct. but maybe someone her can point me in a good direction. i guess even if that direction is toss it and run. and it can't be done etc. thanks for any ideas or help
