Hey Folks
I recently installed a Lorex NVR with 8 POE cameras. Two of the cameras are installed on a detached building that has a cat 6 cable already running to it. I installed a 6 port POE switch at the remote end of the cat 6 cable. 4 download ports and 2 upload ports. At the remote end of the cable I have a second router and the 2 remote cameras plugged into the switch. The other end of the cable is plugged into my ( Main ) router inside the house. According to the Lorex install manual this configuration should work. However the cameras on the detached building do not show up on the NVR. All other cameras appear as they should. The switch has 3 modes. Default ( all ports communicate freely ) and 2 other modes that I cant recall. I have tried all 3 modes and none seem to work. I am sure that I am overlooking an easy fix but cant seem to get it right. I know the cameras are getting power as the LED lights come on when its dark as they should. Can anyone help me out here ? Thanks in advance.
