    My old outside CCTV Camera from the USA finally died after 15 years. I picked up a cheap WIFi one from China to experiment with. Trying to get it working in my office before I put it up. Have it connected to Ethernet ... can Ping it .... can see it on the Gigabit Router. But, can not access it via my browser at 192.168.1.22. Says "This site can not be reached ..... refused to connect". There was no literature with the camera to help. I would like to get it to work before I order more similar type cameras.

    Are you connecting via http or https?

    Also the likes of Edge sometimes have difficulty browsing to some cameras. Try Chrome. Do you know the make of the camera? Some need to be activated .

    Thanks. I tried Chrome also with no luck, even with https. I have since downloaded iCSee software and can access the camera on my phone. I also downloaded a VMS Lite to access the camera on a PC. Both work fine. But still no access via any browser. Don't know the name of the Camera ( just a generic brand) but the iCSee software is recommended for it. I only got it to experiment with.
