2MP 1/2.8" sensor camera

@LindsayGymastics - Any available ports on the POE switch where the two cams are connected?

If so, jack in with one of your laptops, change the network interface to the following static IP: 192.168.254.222

Once the info is saved you should be able to connect to at least 2 of the cams via a web browser by entering their IP into the web browser address bar
ok plugged in my laptop to an open port on the POE switch...now you said to change the network interface but im not sure which device you want me to change... i'm to change the network interface of my laptop to the static IP: 192.168.254.222 is this correct?

Correct. Assign the static IP noted earlier to the laptops Ethernet network interface
 
how does he access the camera GUI from a Hikvision NVR?
By enabling the 'Virtual Host' tickbox in the NVR web GUI Network Management | Advanced Settings | Other tab, like this :

Then use the new column of links at the far right side of the System | Camera management page, called Connect or Join depending on firmware version.
The links provide NATted access direct to each connected camera's web GUI.

wow this is fantastic!!...i did this and yes it added the blue links. So if done this and still on Hiks web interface, should I now be able to click the added blue links to access each cams IP to their GUIs? Because the link open to Not Found...i would assume that on the same IP since Hiks web opened to make this change so not sure what's going on? thank you so much!

Funny timing that this should come up in one of the Fat Electrician videos.

It wasn't A&W though, it was Burger King.
