Adding ONVIF cameras to Doss NVRs
A "How To" video showing how to add ONVIF cameras to a Doss NVR.
In this case, we take a Hikvision 8MP/4K camera, use their software to change IP address, enable ONVIF, add a username+password, and then add it to the Doss NVR manually.

Main points:
Most cameras need some kind of "activation" or "first-time setup", so using the software supplied by your camera supplier, or logging directly into the web GUI is recommended.
Some cameras also need to have ONVIF turned on in their settings manually, along with adding a username and password.
To manually add a camera like this, after using the NVR's search tool, make sure you add the username and password to that specific camera.
Once added, you may find that not all changes from the NVR are sent/received properly by the camera. This is because ONVIF is more limited than using a protocol more closely integrated in both camera & NVR. In the case of Doss NVRs and cameras, using I8, I8H, I8S, I9 or SLINK is recommended.
You may need to still use the camera's software or web GUI to tweak the performance to your requirements.
