New and not supported where you buy it from?
According to cash converter it’s a Wi-Fi and 720p which is low res.
Guessing there is a power adaptor with the unit so it can be powered up and you will need a manual which you should have if not you can find online about setting up the Wi-Fi connection.

Thanks for the reply, I wasnt bothered about the 720 as it was just for observing sitting birds.
I bought it new in the box from a boot sale. I connected to the power supply and router and entered the mac address from the camera as per the instructions to activate the wifi but the app couldn't find the camera , probably because no longer supported?

Thank you very much, I’ll try and get my head around this now
It refers to user admin
Password it has admin
Ip address for now I would start with the local ip address so you can view whilst connected to your home network.
To view whilst away can look at later

Well there have been developements.
I view my ANPR camera through a laptop using SADP tool which I haven't done since I bought the new camera and when I launched it, it picked up the new camera.
After a few tries at user name and pw admin and 12345 was successful so now have a working camera . Just have to see if I can get pictures on my phone rather than on the laptop.
Thanks again for your help secureiam in spurring me into action

I can view camera on the phone in Hik connect but camera only works if hard wired and not wifi
Well that’s better than where you were at.
Not sure why it would show hard wired and not wireless, you check ip address is correct?
