Adoption issue with NVR pro Ubiquiti

[ElmerHS]

Hello,
I am having a problem with the adoption of Hikvision cameras on a Ubiquiti NVR PRO, when I adopt an extra camera to the NVR one of the cameras disconnects.

Usually that means you exceeded the capacity of the NVR, usually the bandwidth. But I would hope Ubiquity would have a high bandwidth?

Thank you,

Yes, correct the bandwidth has the capacity. The cameras record in high definition so the NVR has the capacity to adopt 60 cameras and at the moment I can only adopt 20, if I want to enter an extra camera one of the other cameras is disconnected.

If not a bandwidth issue then any chance it's an IP conflict between the Hikvision and one of the existing cameras on the NVR?
Most Hikvision cams are defaulted to a static IP of 192.168.1.64.
Possibly set the Hik to DHCP before plugging it into the NVR?

Is it the same camera always being disconnected or randomly?

What's your poe consumption like?
You might be hitting the limit.

Thank you, the cameras have static IP and are on the same network.

usually if it is the same cameras that are disconnected, at the moment I cannot adopt 14 cameras because they are the ones that are always disconnected.
