so worse case i can run the camera's through the swann NVR (i can pull the feed from the swann NVR) but im worried if the NVR crashes ill have like 6 camera's that are useless
i plugged in the camera and with angry IP i was able to locate the camera IP address, however it does not show up on CONFIGtool
i tried putting the IP into my broswer but i get this

then when i try to downlaod the plugin, it says to delete my old one, and installs new, but nothing changes
i was wondering if anyone has either any ideas on how to get this to work or has made it work
would be awesome if i could link the camera's directly from switch and get BI to find them
 
Config Tool is designed for Dahua and OEM stuff, so it may or may not work for other stuff.

Make sure you are using Internet Explorer as plugins only work for that browser.

Swann tends to use proprietary stuff, so you may only be able to access the cameras thru the Swann NVR.

Have you tried adding a camera to BI with the IP address of one of the cameras?
