I know, I know. I shouldn't have bought it. I have mice in my attic and have sealed all known entry points so my plan was to setup the cameras where we frequently hear noise and figure out any remaining entry points. So I just grabbed a cheap nvr + 8 cameras a guy was getting rid of it on craigslist because how hard should this be? For reference I have a single reolink poe camera for wildlife monitoring (we're near the woods), and that camera is being managed through frigate running on a raspberry pi. I figure that makes me relatively tech capable.
Onto the question. I can get the nvr up and running hooked to a monitor but the network access isn't working. I suspect the age of the nvr means it isn't using modern certificate protocol. In the network setting of the nvr it states the web port is 80 and the video port 8000. When I go to its lan address:8000 I get "SECURE CONNECTION FAILED An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.45:8000. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR". Going to the same address but with http:// instead of https:// gives "The connection was reset". No connection at all through port 80. Running nmap shows port 8000/tcp open and states the service is http-alt.
I recognize this is more tech/network oriented than ip cam specific but perhaps someone has dealt with something similar. The goal was to setup in the attic, connect one lan cable to the nvr for remote monitoring and see whats going on without climbing in and out of the attic hatch to physically access the nvr. I have one cat 5 cable in the attic so getting an array of cameras to cover multiple places isn't feasible, but connecting to the nvr over the lan is.
Thanks for any and all hints, including dropping everything off the highest point I can find!
