connor2425 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi, Struggling to hikvision cameras to work through a nuuo nvr? Anyone had this issues with this combination? Can search and find all ip addresses of the hikvision but no pictures? Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 As in a similar topic, strip to barebones (not a few hundred cameras) and go from there, I always suspect the main control first and foremost. How old is the system, did you install it, did you test the equipment before installing (could be RF nearby ??) ..Test your equipment before installing it shall save your hours of scratching your head. Let the site know your setup, there are far superior engineers on here than myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor2425 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) The cameras I'm having trouble with are ds-2cd2132f-l but looking at the compatibility list on the nuuo webpage they arnt listed. I have 2 different types of cams on the system which I will try tomorrow which are listed. I can login to the cameras via the laptop so the cameras work, when searching for them the ip shows up but when entering the camera it won't load the MAC address and just states as generic so I suspect these cameras may be incompatible. Brand new system Edited August 11, 2015 by connor2425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 "..Brand new system ?.." Not necessarily. In general (and relating to computing rather than cctv), a generic device can be identified by the host. You haven't said how many cameras you are using, psu's if needed,and so on. Can you use a single 'generic' camera (just one) connected to the host (assuming it's dvr) and forget all other considerations. One camera, one host. Let's go from there.

connor2425 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 At the moment just one camera is connected to the nuuo via a d-link Poe switch for testing purposes, eventually around 40 cameras to be put on via Poe. No psu's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 New firmware cameras? Tried changing the password? Or try changing resolution. Is there an option on that nvr to specify the rtsp path? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 "...I can login to the cameras via the laptop so the cameras work....I suspect these cameras may be incompatible.." Well we are at a stage where the cameras work on your laptop so I doubt if they are incompatible (could be wrong). Have you tried a generic in the nvr... just to make sure !! Are they all (nvr's) supposed to specify the rtsp path,Petrolhead ? I once had a heck of a problem with a router, but that's another story I suppose.
