I’ve a rather odd question about how an IP Camera has been set up. The site has a Hikvision NVR with 9 Cameras on that go back to the NVR. They also have an IP Camea that they claimed was working.

When I’ve got about the ceiling there was a patch cable from the IP Camera into a RJ45 Data Socket. Then from there I would have to trace the cable. As I’ve tried using SADP to see if it finds it. It doesn’t. Say it goes back to their Network Cab how would it then work on iVMS??
 
"Rather odd" is an understatement....:facepalm:
 
You use a line tracer with a tone generator on the data port, and then you'd have to go to the network closet or NVR area, and see it if you can detect it. Pull the camera and see if it even works directly in the alledged port that it used be assigned to?
 
So it turns out it works as a stand alone camera. They had it going to a PoE Switch but I couldn’t seem manually add it to iVMS.
