The cameras are currently working on the 4port nvr. So won't be a loose connection

You need to manually configure the cameras on the new NVR (IP, user, password). You can also default them, and when you connect them to a POE port on the new NVR, the NVR will activate them with its own password, and auto-configure them.

Many thanks guys, will give them all a go and keep you posted
don't give them all, start making one work. obviously you make some simple mistake (setup/scan and input pw for each camera is described in manual, we won't repeat that)
without explaining what you do tried, we keep losing time watching this thread

We have seen many instances that sometimes cameras can be more sensitive to power fluctuations, so maybe the 8port NVR is pushing just enough on the threshold to work, but a bad cable looses just enough that the camera doesn't turn on...
