Need Help Reconnecting Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I Cameras

[chris]

I have three Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I cameras connected to a DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR. After resetting the NVR to default settings, the cameras appear in the device list but do not establish a connection.

I would appreciate if somebody could help.

How are the cameras connected to the recorder?

Hi mousey76397,
The cameras are connected direct on the back of the NVR on camera ports.
Now I get an error message saying something about wrong password on the camera list.
Thanks

Dear member,
install the SADP tool on your computer, connect a network cable from the computer to 1 of the camera ports, change the IP address on your computer to match the same range as the cameras and try to login to the camera web interface.
If you can login fine, then just try to readd the cameras back to the NVR manually.
On the NVR web page, go to Configuration - System - Camera Management - Select the camera and click on Modify, then enter the IP address of the camera (if not correct) and password.
