Ok
As castmar Say ,no need poe Switch in New location ,because i use one 24poe gigabit from fiber converter to Nvrs,and it doesn't work.but directly to Nvr work.
My question : why Switch POE gigabit not working ans the integrated switch of nvr worked ?

Woah, never saw such a setup :)

First of all, the ports you used to plugin your white and orange cable are designated to plug CAMERA'S in, not to connect to an entire network.

Secondly, you are now NOT using the LAN ports of the NVRs.

Now I understand why the second NVR is saturated... NVR1 is sweating for nothing.

What I suggest you do, but it requires some homework!
1) on the second site, connect the WHITE cable in your (POE) switch
2) connect the two orange cables into the LAN ports of the NVRs
3) now the fun part: either let the NVR search for the cams (but I'm guessing it won't find them) - if they find them, CHANGE the ip's to the LAN ipadress of the NVR.

Good luck!

I get one simple Switch 10/100 ,and it worked.
Before i used Nvr poe port ,but now i used ethernet lan port and it worked .
Final result :some caméra still very slow at Real Time .
Tomorrow, i test all combinations to get the idéal setup.

Good! As long as the recordings are full quality and good streaming, that's all what counts. It might be that you should put your playback on lower resolution just to avoid "sweating" your NVR for nothing.

Well done!

I have very doubt about your network setup in overall ;)

So, please draw again your new setup, and write the ip addresses of EACH nvr on that drawing. It seems to me quite impossible to have 2 times 192.168.1.1 in each NVR. Let alone that your ISP router is on a non 192.168.1.1 address.

Question I already have: did you connect the white and orange cable into the right slots like I wrote?

Like I wrote: a bit of homework to do:
- nvr1: put in 192.168.1.199
- nvr2: put in 192.168.1.198

IF your cabling is done right, you can then start changing (from nvr or through configtool) the cams FROM their 10.1.1.x range TO 192.168.1.197, 196, 195 etc.

Why your 1000mbit led is not blinking: contact the people who you bought it from. If you are 2000% sure the connected device is 1gbps, and the led is not working, then your device may be crippled.

Good luck!

I m wiring oblan setup and you catcamstar,all work and i got all cameras,but suddenly ,some caméras disappear ,and i discover that is adress conflict.i see one problem that each Nvr start by default with 10.1.1.65 ,although i reboot all ,and test them one by one .using web caméra interface i attribue IP adresses in incremental static adress (from 10.1.1.100 to 10.1.1.133)for caméras,and Nvr are in 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 and .12.
now what the best solution to make each caméra take it own IP adresse with the 3 nvr connected to Switch or gigabit router?

I am pretty sure you are still connecting wires into the POE ports of the NVRs...

Best way is like I wrote on page 1: use CONFIGTOOL to find each camera, put a unique (fixed) IP address in it (192.168.1.x range) and let 1 of the NVRs hook up to it (search device - pick 192.168.1.101 (as an example)). Distribute the camera's over the three NVRs.

5 minutes work.

Good luck!

All work now,oblar and your setup camcaster are working ,i wire all nvr and Switch to router and start configtool and the job done,the problem was that i assign IP for every nvr..but that wrong ...i must finish all wiring ,and launch configtool to auto assign all device connected to including nvr starting from 192.168.1.20 to .50.thank all for your support .
But i have a question Can i add a pelco keyboard cm96 using protocol 422,to control dahua dôme or i need converter??

Thanks for reporting back that all went well.

Regarding your last question: it is difficult to understand what you are saying if you don't use the proper technical terminology. Protocol 422 did not ring a bell. But some google hocus pocus did help me out a bit :p

If I look at some PELCO keyboard manuals, there are some with RS422, some with RS485 and even RJ45 interfaces. Have a look at http://181.164.114.46/PDF/DMAX_DA-KB1010_manual.pdf for example, picture 2-3.1: here you can see how you can "hardwire" a dome with these interfaces. But then you require additional cabling I guess. So I digged in a bit deeper, and you might be lucky! Your NVR 5216 does have 1 RS485 "PTZ" interface (see specs here: NVR5216/5232-16P-4KS2E). So what I would do: take the manual of your "CM96" (which I couldn't find on Google), look on how to cable it properly to your NVR, and you can play around! But one advice: connect all your DOMES to THAT NVR, not the other one :)

Good luck!

Hi @Jaouad not sure why you want to convert that RS422 to ethernet if your NVR might be connected to it directly? If you convert it to ethernet, you need to unconvert it back to RS422 I guess.
