Do you have a question about the WNIP2 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have model WNIP-2LTA-BS-U stand alone camera. I previously had this device in use for my garage. we had to change routers and now have different password. I **** not able to get the camera connected
To connect the Night Owl WNIP-2LTA-BS-U camera to a new router with a different password, you need to bypass its default pairing with the NightOwl NVR. Follow these steps:
1. Configure a wireless access point (AP) with the same SSID and password (PSK) that the camera was originally paired with.
2. Set up a new VLAN on your router or firewall with the same IP range that was used by the original NVR.
3. Assign this VLAN to the AP to simulate the original NVR environment.
4. Add routing rules in your firewall so that your LAN can access the camera network.
5. The cameras will connect to the new AP using the same credentials and be accessible as standalone ONVIF-compatible cameras.
This setup removes the cameras from NightOwl's control and allows use with third-party NVRs like BlueIris or VLC.
