Hi
To isolate a particular camera problem I unplugged all 4 ethernet cables from the back of my NVR unit. Now the cameras will not show a green status in the interface and there is no video feed. What is going on with that and what do I need to do?

Thanks in advance. Please let me know if I can provide more detailed information to help diagnose.

Unfortunately some NVRs will tie a camera to a POE port and if you plugged them in to the wrong ports, then this happens.

Depending on what the NVR did, you might be able to plug and replace until you find the right combination or you may need to reset the cams and start over.

My neighbor made this mistake two weeks ago LOL
 
Thanks for the quick reply.!
I tried inserting them into the same ports considering where they were located (I had updated the Camera name). So if that did not work how do I reset them? I read on the Dahua wiki page that they need to be involved for a camera reset I that correct?

Cheers
 
Best case is there is a reset button on the pigtail or behind the cover where the SD card is. Worse case is you have to provide a jumper between two points on the board.
 
There is indeed a reset button below the SD card slot. I have done it - I think - I held it down for 15 secs when I had the POE ethernet plugged in. I did not hear any beeps or see anything to indicate it reset - is there something I missed?) If that worked do I need the password or something else to complete the reset?
 
Unplug all but one camera.

With camera plugged into port 1, press and hold reset for about 20 seconds.

Then give it a few minutes (up to 10min) for the camera to fire up and the NVR initialize it and assigns it the same user/password as the NVR.

When the camera shows up then plug in next one and repeat.

That worked out great thank you. I can connect directly to the camera and see the video. The status is green in NVR and can see the video in the live view. I just did one of them for now and wanted to be able to see it show up in the DSS app so I can be alerted for movement etc. How do I go about registering the camera online. I downloaded the app but its on a different network. Do I have to connect the NVR to the internet? How do I know its connected correctly? If it is connected how do I add the camera so it shows up in the DSS app?
