    Yes. But 2 of them seem to be for the driveway.

    I did that. It seems to be the cable, but on the cable someone wrote driveway and I am seeing the driveway using another camera, so they must have replaced it at some point. Thanks

    I do have a question regarding one of the camera's. Under PoE on the Hikvision unit, 5 camera's say "connected". One says "disconnected". Would that be an ethernet cable or power cable issue or do I have something turned off in the Hikvision app? Thanks

    I downloaded Parallels on my Mac and imported the file Hikvision sent me and it worked. :) Thanks again for all your help guys. I appreciate it.

    So I got in touch with Hikvision and sent them the Expoted file to reset my camera's. When I received the XML file from them, the file was greyed out. I contacted them again and it seems I need a PC to import the file. Go figure. You can Export a file in SADP using a Mac, but you need a PC to...

    haha, and that's not gonna happen anytime soon. :D

    Thanks. I'll give it a second look tomorrow when there's light. Besides doing a hard reset, there's no other way of doing this, is there?

    Didn't think of that. :) What about the power adapter?

    I understand where the reset button is. That I can get to. It's the power and ethernet cables I can't get to. Those are in the ceiling and I can't remove the base for some strange reason. Almost like they glued it on.

    That's the problem. See pic. When I remove the glass, the base is screwed to the ceiling but I'm not seeing any screws. I can't get to the power and ethernet cable without removing the base. Thanks

    There is a reset button, but the camera is installed outside below a deck. When I removed the first set of screws it removed the glass. I tried looking for the second set of screws holding the unit to the deck but couldn't see any. I'll have to look again tomorrow in the daylight. I'm surprised...

    I just tried that. There are screws to remove the glass but not the unit. It's been a real fun week and I agree about the previous owner.

    Sorry, I can't seem to locate the IP range. I've searched everywhere for it, but it's not giving me the option to do that.

    If my router address is 192.168.1.1, should all cameras also be set to that IP address? I do have a monitor connected to the NVR connected via HDMI. When I connect the camera to the NVR, I don't see it anywhere (ex: SADP Tool). If I connect the camera to the new POE I just got today, I do see...

    When I tried pasting 192.168.254.12 into a new browser window? Yes, it was connected to the new POE switch.

    This is really difficult...

    When I tried pasting 192.168.254.12 into a new browser window, nothing happened. The vendor (seller of the house) is not responsive. Before buying the house, everything was up and running. When I purchased he took the unit with him so I got another one, identical. Hikvision will not help me...

    Also, on the iPhone using Hik-Connect, it says the device is off-line. When I click on the Offline button, it takes me to another page, loads to 100% and then is says, The deice is offline. How would I put it online? Thanks

    Hey guys, thanks for all the info. I appreciate it. So I got a 5 port PoE unit and I connected one of the camera's to it and it see's it. The IP for it is 192.168.254.12. Do I have to reset the password? Also the Hikvision-Connect Status is Disabled. Should I enable it somehow? Thanks

    I'll try taking down the lowest camera. I know the seller had it working cause I saw it myself. Problem is he's not approachable or friendly.

    On the ORBI config page, the IP address is 192.168.1.1. Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Below it it says: Starting IP address: 192.168.1.2, ending IP address: 192.168.1.254 When I click on the Attached Devices tab, all other devices pop up (iPhone, iPad, computers, Hikvision DS-7608NI, etc...)...

    Also using my iPhone, I just scanned the QR code in the DS-7608NI (Platform Access) page and it brought up the Hik-Connect app. On the app it says, New Device 01. I assume this is the DS-7608NI. When I click on the device, it says "No Camera Linked or Camera is Hided). Do you know what that...

    Hey ipOsX, the SADP Tool version is 1.0.0.4. Latest from the Hikvision website. I have clicked on refresh after launching the app, but that still doesn't bring up the cameras. I'll have to give the router a look. Regarding the iVMS-4200, I just downloaded the latest version and again it only...

    ipOsX, thanks for the info. One thing I noticed is that I can't see any of the camera's listed when using SADP Tool, IP Scanner and a like. Is it necessary to reset the camera's? They were installed pretty high up. I've spent hours trying to figure out the cause. What exactly am I looking for...
