To get my SWANN cameras to work with the Lorex DVR in "plug and play" mode I just logged into the camera's web interface manually and changed the network address setting from static to dhcp, then changed the admin password to 000000.
I also received the older design dome cameras... Received the order on the 12th. Called Costco, who referred me to Lorex and they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about, but that if there was an update to the dome camera, they would replace it under warranty.
Has anyone had any luck with this lately?
Just bought the 4 camera system from Costco plus one Hikvision 2CD2132-I 2.8mm. It appears the NVR is handing out IPs even though I've read it doesn't have a DHCP server, and I can't find a way to disable it. The NVR defaults to 172.168.1.1 and gives Lorex cams 172.168.1.x. However, it gives the Hikvision cam a 169.1.1.x IP address.
I've changed the admin password on the Hikvision, can access it from my computer when plugged into the NVR, have DHCP enabled, etc. I've also reconfigured the NVR to start at 169.1.1.1 rather than 172 to get them in the same range. I've also tried disabling DHCP and connecting the NVR switch to my router to use its DHCP. And in all of these cases, I've tried setting the cameras both plug and play and manually (in manual, using both the Lorex and ONIF protocols).
Nevertheless, I have never managed to get this cam on the NVR/TV. ANY ideas other than starting over with Blue Iris and a PC or returning the Hik and getting more Lorex domes (they don't have 2.?
