If you are converting a generic wifi IP camera to ethernet, it may not be that simple as many are default hard coded to a static IP of 192.168.1.168 and login info admin/admin.

From there you can login to the camera and assign it to DHCP by going to http://192.168.1.168

For security these cameras + DVR should be on a separate untagged VLAN or if possible a physically isolated non-internet connected switch/network.

The reference below is applicable to many of the random generic IP cameras from China.

If the above doesn't work and you don't know the IP. you can always use tcpdump or wireshark to figure out the IP address of the camera.
