Hikvision camera SDK [Delphi] - error 7 NET_DVR_NETWORK_FAIL_CONNECT

I cannot connect to hikvison camera, NET_DVR_Login_V30 returns -1, and NET_DVR_GetLastError returns 7: "NET_DVR_NETWORK_FAIL_CONNECT - Connecting device failed. Device offline or network connection timed out."

Camera is 100% online and configured, I can successfully connect using ClientDemo.exe!

In wireshark I see that it don't even try to connect.

To make it work the original code need 2 fixes:
1. Correct variable declarations from String to AnsiString
2. Pass strings to dll as PAnsiChar (as G Wimpassinger pointed)

DVRIP, DVRUserName, DVRPassWord: AnsiString;
...

function NET_DVR_Login_V30(sDVRIP: PAnsiChar; wDVRPort: Word; sUserName: PAnsiChar;
  sPassword: PAnsiChar; lpDeviceInfo: LPNET_DVR_DEVICEINFO_V30): LONG; stdcall;
  external 'HCNetSDK.dll' name 'NET_DVR_Login_V30';
...

lUserID := NET_DVR_Login_V30(PAnsiChar(DVRIP), 8000, PAnsiChar(DVRUserName),
  PAnsiChar(DVRPassWord), @struDeviceInfo);
