Some of you may remember my previous thread where I was struggling to get the cameras all connected, thanks to the help on this forum I now have 7 cams connected via the lan port on the back of the HIK Vision NVR (DS-7732) For some reason though, when we try to connect via the hik-online.com...

Ok that's a good shout actually You sir have been a great help today, thank you so much. I can't wait to get out there with a 5 port GigE switch now and get it all going.

Thanks for confirming that, I was expecting the Poe cams to be on the NVR subnet but I don't make that clear. I can also see why having DHCP on for the cams connected to the GigE switch is worthwhile, although could I manually assign up address in the high range say 192.168.1.2xx knowing...

Oh wow now youve thrown a curve ball...Set the cameras to DHCP? what is assigning the IP address? the router I assume as it is connected via the switch? In that case the cameras which are currently 192.168.254.xx (as per the NVR) will all move over to the 192.168.1.xx range as per the router &...

Brilliant, thats a lot cheaper then a new NVR box which was being considered, also a lot easier to setup too. just to confirm the camera POE switch is a TP Link SG1008PE which has 8 gigabit ports http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-42_TL-SG1008PE.html so this will uplink the cameras...

The power line is a bit of a hiccup here but is needed Ok so i could do it like this... router > powerline > giga switch > NVR And then from the cameras connected to a POE switch they could go like this... Cameras > POE Switch > Giga Switch > NVR would that work? I know its not ideal with the...

Thankfully the offending Camera was working today when I put the IP into my browser, firmware is on 5.3 and the password is a strong one :) Just need to sort my other issue you are kindly helping me with now :)

How do I branch the switch off the LAN backbone? apologies if a dumb question. Happy to buy what ever is required, only problem I have is I cannot fix the cable mess that has been created already :(

Ah ok thats good to know, I am not near the kit right now (its not mine its a friends) but I can confirm that in the web gui of the 7732 it is seeing the cameras but saying they are offline, if I put the cameras IP in I can see the live view no problem so I need to check on this GUI again when I...

Yeah your right it's too much data going through that 1 port. The NVR isn't connected great to be honest, it's connect via a power line adaptor to a BT home hub, which I very much doubt has a gigabit port on it as it's an old one. My friend has two choices i think. First have the 7...

Hi, thanks for the reply :) The cams are all hikvison bullets, 6 X 2CD2032 (3mp) and 1 2CD2042 (4mp) not sure what bandwidth they will take up? This NVR only has the one LAN port which is the gigabit one, on the back. If I was to use this for the switch, how can I get the NVR to talk to...

I have this very same/similar question and I have just found your thread. I'm picking this up, as a novice, after someone badly installed a DS-7732NI-E4/16P with 11 cams (2032 Bullets), 5 connected directly to the back of the NVR & 6 via a POE switch, into one of the POE ports on the back of...

Hi guys, is it ok to run a DS-7732NI-E4/16P with around 5 cameras directly connected to the POE ports on the back, and then run another 7 cameras connected via a POE switch with the switch then connected to the POE ports on the back? The additional 7 cameras are located quite far away from the...

I had an issue yesterday while trying to upgrade the firmware manually via the web portal of each of the cameras here, DS-2CD2032, unfortunatley whilst i was uploading the firmware on one camera my laptop restarted to install Windows 10 and I couldn't stop it! I quickly grabbed another but could...

A friend of a friend has had a CCTV system setup installed by another party, and they frankly have done a terrible job. First issue is that two cameras were not functioning, when I popped round to have a look I could immediately see that the waterproofing on the outside Lan cable has not been...
