Sorry Gents, it's me again ! I plugged the camera into the NVR and the following were the results. Firstly, this is where I got to on my stand alone monitor : I clicked on the Camera Password box and then tried the 2 sets of numbers on the keyboard that appeared and pressed the return key...

Thank you so much for that @Dan that is really helpful. I will try installing the camera again tomorrow with a short lead and will report back.

Thank you for that @Dan. Our CCTV system was installed 9 years ago and so I can quite believe that the camera is that sort of age. but it does look as if it has never been installed. It looks just like new. I really appreciate your information about the default passwords and I will give it a try...

Thank you for that @codlord But it appears that the camera is quite old and may have one of the default passwords as mentioned by @Dan lower down. I will plug the camera in again and try his suggestions and come back with the result. In the meantime thanks for your help. It has been very much...

Thank you very much @codlord Much appreciated. Is there a password set on new caneras during manufacture ? If not then whatever password is on this camera must have been initiated by someone else. The camera isn't installed yet but I made up a short length of RJ45 cable and tried it in the...

Hikvision Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 2.8mm Camera. I am womdering if anyone could help me with what I hope is a simple query but which unfortunately I have no knowlege of. I recently acquired the above camera through a friend who has no knowledge of CCTV systems and when I plugged it into the...

I'll have a go next time I am playing on the new pc and let you know. I would love to stay with the old pc but I get a slight rumbling sound when I switch it on. It never lasts for more than a minute but something isn't right somewhere !

So am I @johnfitzy but through the help of this Forum, and especially your good self, I have learnt a lot about the system. Incidently, not only don't the Smilies not work for me but neither does the Preview option. I am using a 64 bit Windows 8.1 pc on this Forum but I have just bought a...

UPDATE. The problem has finally been resolved. After more than strenuous demands from Mrs. Scooby that I do NOT go up the tower again I had to resort to enlisting the help of a professional. It transpired that he was able to test the cable from the NVR to what I called "there is what looks...

:(O.K. So I am trying that :) or (: ( , :( , : ) or : ( , with no space in between. EDIT. Couldn't see it in Preview but something is working obviously. I go onto another forum with an identical format and I get pages of Smilies.

When I click on them all I get is the loading box.

I disagree. I think my forward thinking would be a market leader with obviously a World-wide market. I am looking for selected investors and because you have been so helpful to me I would like to invite you aboard. I am going to insist that the minimum investment from anyone would have to be...

Yes, I will check the existing camera in it's port on the NVR again. And yes, I do have pass-through connectors but I still find it too fiddly to do it like all the videos show how it should be done. I have done it before like that but a few years ago now. Why can't someone invent a connector...

Mmmm. I have already jumped the gun as far as trying to test the "new" camera. I used a short lead the same as I used when testing the one that I took down from the house. And I got the "Password Required" message. I did log into the NVR but didn't change anything. I hope that I haven't jiggered...

I am having difficulties re-wiring the RJ45 plugs which is rather strange because I have done it before. I've got the crimper, plugs, etc. but it just seems so fiddly this time. On another issue, I have acquired another similar Hikvision camera to be used for testing purposes and when I plug it...
