I think I have found the root cause. I plugged in one of the cameras into a power supply and took the network cable from a device that is connected and working (my NAS drive) and connected that to the camera. Viola! Working. Just to make sure I took the same camera out to my Netgear switch...

No changes made - no firmware updates, no NVR updates, no network updates. We had some power outages, but everything came back to normal after these. I connected the NVR directly to the POE switch, and ran the Smart Add to find cameras. No cameras added. Message: There is no IPC. Please check...

Sure, I can try that. However, both desktop and NVR only have one network port each. So then they will not be connected to my LAN. How do I then access the cameras etc?

How do I go about connecting a computer directly to the POE switch. How do I access the cameras from there? Don't I need to go through my network anyway for that? And how is that different than current setup where the POE switch goes into the Netgear which is also has one cable going to my desktop?

All lights are on at the POE switch where it is expected. The cameras turn the night LED's on an off so I assume the POE switch is working for at least providing power to the cameras. It has 16 channels. I use channel 1 to connect into a Netgear GS305 unmanaged switch. CHannel 4 on the comes...
