NHD-888MSDx 16 SONVR-168580H x 1 NVR - new software needed

[wittaj]

Yes, do just like you did that first camera.

 

[zebedeepet]

so ... connected back of Unifi PoE console to computer and the CCTV to port 1 of the PoE - no signal ....

 

[zebedeepet]

hmm not the console maybe just one of the PoE ports

 

[wittaj]

Is the unifi a managed switch?

 

[zebedeepet]

plugged in one camera to the switch and ethernet to computer. The CCTV worked. I plugged in all the other cameras to the switch and its not working ....

 

[zebedeepet]

camera now says missing address

 

[zebedeepet]

 

[zebedeepet]

Scrap that it is back!!! one camera on my PoE through computer on BI

 

[zebedeepet]

just realise. When I disconnect from the internet the camera stops working - having trouble adding the others

 

[zebedeepet]

was I suppose to add each camera to the computer first and change the ip on the ethernet connection?

 

[wittaj]

Yes you have to set each camera up like you did the first one - change the IP address to your subnet.

 

[zebedeepet]

ah ok. Makes sense. I'll get on to that. Is there a way I could setup AI tracking I want to be able to record faces and if I catch a shoplifter. Then next time they come in I want it to alert me. Is this possible with BI and some amazing cameras> I have 24 switch and currently using 16 so have potentially another 8 cameras - what would you recommend for a retail environment. Focus is shop lifting.

 

[zebedeepet]

Got one camera working again. stuck it in the switch then got that working. Tried next camera in PC and wouldnt connected. I went back to the first and that won;t connect. I've spent hours on this. Could I pay you to whatsapp call and help?

 

[zebedeepet]

Bstard thing won't connect. Camera has power socket powering it and is connected directly to PC via ethernet cable, the ethernet lan PV4 settings are 172.16.1.165

 

[zebedeepet]

really struggling and only 6 days left of Demo ..., help! lol

 

[zebedeepet]

g..g...gg....guys?

 

[zebedeepet]

Will this email support cover setting up the camera ip problems?

[wittaj]

Go back and re-read this thread about how you got the first camera to be seen in BI, then follow that process for each camera.

No the email support for BI will not address setting up the cameras. Your issue has nothing to do with BI.

If you need that help, then try this:

lol ok read through and got the single camera working again. I can now plug that into the switch? then once that is working connect the next camera directly then add to the switch?

 

[wittaj]

Yes.

But if that switch is going to be connected to the router, then make sure you switch that camera to a static IP instead of DHCP because if the camera is set to DHCP, the router will potentially assign it another IP address, and then you are screwed LOL.

And then follow that procedure for the remaining cameras and being sure you don't give the same IP address to two cameras.
