Omnitouch 7 tries forever to establish connection to cameras - never connects

[payele]

Hi all,
 
I have an Omnipro II installation i'm wrapping for a client that has gone quite well considering how complex (for me) this one is.
The problem is that the 6 vivotek 8000 series cameras will not come up on either of the 2 touch screens.  All I get is a black screen which claims to be "establishing connection".
 
The cameras are not yet password protected, so I know that isnt the issue.
The cameras are on a dedicated POE switch which has only the cameras and Omnitouchs on it.
The camera images can be brought up on the VLC viewer that I use to test the streams.
The Cameras are all configured to JPEG and can even be found on my phone if I enter the IP 
 
I've tried calling support for both HAI and Vivotek and no help.  Both agree that it should be working fine, but all I get is a black screen suggesting it is "establishing connection" and furtive glances from the homeowner.
 
Please help!!!
 
If this factors at all... the system also has 2 expansion enclosures, notification board, a keypad, 2 russound MCAC5 controllers and a few other things that have all worked fine.

Did you enroll the cameras in the extended setup?
You will need the user and password active

Thank you, turned out to be a typo in the IP.  All good except that I had to downgrade firmware from 1.8 to 1.7 to prevent the screens from restarting every time I access a camera.
 
Do not upgrade to 1.8!  Its very unstable!
