Issues with connecting WiFi Cameras to NVR 1008H
I have been trying to add my CP Plus wifi cameras to this NVR. The problem is that I can add them manually (not auto discovered) but once they are added to this NVR, the status shows Not Connected.
The cameras support ONVIF and they are working in EzyKam+ application and also on Happytime Onvif Client but they are simply not displaying any video when i connect them to this NVR. I have allocated static IPs to all the cameras.
I tried to ping all the cameras from NVR and they are pinging without any packet loss. Vigi Security Manager shows that the cameras are offline. NVRs and all the cameras are on the same network yet its now working.
Please assist to resolve this issue.

@Clive_A i have CP-E35A and CP-V31A cameras (4 cameras of each model). None of them were showing any video. All 8 cameras show the same result: No Network Video.
Current Hardware Version: VIGI NVR1008H(UN)2.0
Current Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 240507 Rel.77345n
Add Process:
Right Click -> Add Camera -> Add Manually -> Enter IP Address of Camera -> Control Protocol is ONVIF -> Transfer Protocol is TCP Protocol -> Management Port is 443 -> Username is admin and Password is password -> Add
Connection Status remains Not Connected but i am able to ping my camera through NVR.
I am now under the impression that either NVR does not support my camera models or there is some problem with NVR itself.
It does not support ONVIF. I searched their datasheet and none mentioned ONVIF compatibility.
I am afraid that there is a problem with the cameras instead of the NVR.
You tried any camera that supports ONVIF?

@Clive_A these cameras do support ONVIF and they are enabled in camera settings

Alright.
So, find this software and download it: ONVIF device manager
Use this on a computer that is in the same LAN as the cameras. Will you be able to find them? Screenshot it for me.
If necessary, you may need to disable the firewall and anti-virus during the scan LAN.

onvif device manager is able to find the device and Happytime onvif client is also able to show camera feed on my desktop.

@Clive_A unfortunately this didnt work as well.
above are the screenshots of updated firmware, status in nvr as 'device not connected' and device being detected in ONVIF Device Manager and video streaming in Happytime ONVIF Client.

I think it is still a problem with your camera.
Will you be able to get a live feed by the onvif://192.168.1.101?
What's the page do you see after you enter this address?

The URL is the exact same one that I gave to you? onvif://ip?
If that's correct, then there is a problem with the ONVIF protocol with your camera. It supports ONVIF but the port is not a standard port like the industry. This is a problem with the camera instead of the NVR. NVR uses the standard ONVIF port by default.

@Clive_A i tried to use the url you provided but it ends up searching over the google (default search engine).
So i tried to access the camera by simply entering the IP address but it didnt connect this way either (connection refused), screenshot in previous post.
