My Swann NVR has died and I am trying to access my CONHD-A4MPCAM PoE cameras independently. Here is everything I have tried:
  • Camera pings immediately at correct IP
  • Not Hikvision based — SADP finds zero devices
  • Not ONVIF compliant — ONVIF Device Manager finds nothing
  • SwannView Link says "login failed" on all attempts with passwords: blank, admin, 12345, 888888, 666666 and custom NVR password
  • VLC RTSP fails after 8-9 seconds on all channels 1-8
  • Cannot locate physical reset button yet
  • Camera is 2016 era wired PoE

Does anyone know the underlying manufacturer, default credentials, or reset button location for this specific model?
 
Can you please tell me if you link in your post is valid? When I click on it there is an error message "The requested thread could not be found" Can you provide an active link if it exists
 
That was the link to your other thread that you deleted - I added it in the event you couldn't delete it that people would see there were two threads and should only comment in one.
 
Keep in mind NVRs assign the cameras an IP address different than the IP address of the NVR.

Swann PoE NVRs typically assign internal cameras IP addresses in the 172.16.25.x or 172.16.1.x subnets, so you would have to put your network or a computer with the cameras connected to a POE switch on that subnet to access them.
