Camera setup

Did you manually make the 192.168.1.100?
if so go back and reset everything back to dhcp.
see what your Cellular modem assigns you as an IP.
If it falls into the 192.168.001.xxx Net, then you can find your camera.
If the cellular modem is on a 10.10.10.xxx Net,
then you'll have to go back to Wittaj's post, and try and do a direct connect with the Cam.
have tried a FIND/Inspect yet? in BI?

Yes I manually made the 192.168.1.100

Here's what it looks like when I reset it back to dhcp.

And yes I tried the find/inspect in BI and never got anything.

Sorry for the thumbnail. Full size

169.254.x.x is Bad. It means something is funky, and your PC was not assigned an IP.

 

[SchwinnStarlet]

When you were self assigned to .100 are able to get on the Web?

I didn't try as my cable connections don't allow me to have the computer and camera hooked up and connect to the Hotspot at the same time. I only ever connected to the hotspot/router on this computer with a cable, not wifi.

 

[Flintstone61]

plug the hotspot into the Switch, the camera into the switch and the computer into the switch. hopefully you have 3 ethernet cables.

 

[Flintstone61]

Then do an ipconfig /all

 

[SchwinnStarlet]

Then do an ipconfig /all

I do have 3 cables. Here's the ipconfig/all

 

[SchwinnStarlet]

I went into BI and did the find/Inspect and actually found something for the first time.

 

[Flintstone61]

Then you ought to be able to open Internet explorer, or Edge, or Chrome, and type in 192.168.1.108 and hit enter.
if the camera is new, it should be waiting there.
Also try the Amcrest IP Config Tool Download

You are getting somewhere now lol.

Wait until is says close or done (I forget which one) before you hit OK. It may spit 30 lines of text before it is done.

 

[SchwinnStarlet]

But it has no signal. Gave a failed to connect error. After I clicked on the item it found I got this screen. Then the failed to connect screen.

 

[Flintstone61]

If the camera is found at 10.x.x.x. then it's been plugged into a NVR before maybe?

 

[wittaj]

It is opening 10.1.1.66? That is usually for being hooked to an NVR.

I suggest at this point do a factory reset of the camera to put it back on the default address.

 

[Flintstone61]

try surfing to 10. whatever in a browser

I don't think this one had been but I could be wrong. If it has do I need to use the tool?

 

[Flintstone61]

try surfing to the find inspect address on a browser, 10.1.1.66

It did not

 

[Flintstone61]

try doing a FIND inspect with no IP address inputted in the box.

 

[wittaj]

Or change the IPv4 to 10.1.1.100 so you can see this camera

Or factory reset the camera to get it back to the default address and then see it with what you already set the computer to (192.168.1.100)

 

[SchwinnStarlet]

try doing a FIND inspect with no IP address inputted in the box.

Did that. Still found same one with the 10.1.1.66 address
