Getting the hang of it

Hello Gents
I replaced my router and now my security cameras are not showing up in Blue Iris, I disconnected the IP switches and re-connected and only 1 camera came up, they all still have their IP addresses and password,
I would appreciate any help I can get from the members in this forum.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Chewie.
 
Need to make sure that your Bi and your cameras are in the same network group.. Meaning if your Router that is new has started your new IP range in a different range then your old router was already in then your computer with Bi and the Ip for the cameras besides the one that you said was found would be different..

Win10/11 press Windows Key and R together, then type cmd, then type ipconfig and make sure that the IP of your computer is same as the normal camera that are not showing.. My guess is that the ones now not showing are in Static Ip mode and the one that did show up after searching was setup to DHCP..

Guessing that the base LAN IP address range of the new router is different from that of the replaced one.

If so - the simple fix is to reconfigure the base IP address (and DHCP scope) of the new router to match that of the replaced router.
That way, nothing else on the LAN will need to be change, all will work as it used to.

Thank you all for your replies, i checked the ipconfig and the ip is changed, the previous number of the last number is a zero now instead of a 1, the cameras that don't come up have a 1 on their ip address, and the camera that comes up has a zero, I don't know how to reconfigure the base ip address, maybe you can guide me on it, i was planning to turn the router off and back on and see if it will generate a different ip.
Any help would be apricated.
Regards.

You need to log on to the web GUI of the router, and change it's network configuration.
And check that the DHCP scope is the same or similar to the original router.
The logon credentials of the router will be on its product label.

Power cycling the router will not change anything.

thanks for your advice, I logged into the router and is set for Dynamic IP and the range of the scope is from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.249, I am assuming that the old router scope was from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.249, the cameras that don't come up have xxx.xxx.1.xxx ip's, when you say that I need to change the network configuration on the new router, is it possible to change the scope to a 192.168.1.2 ip like this?
Please let me know.
Regards.

Make sure your network PRIVATE vs PUBLIC settings are correct. Changing out the router can cause the computer network to change from private to public because windows thinks it's a new network. Change it back to private.

It's not the DHCP scope that you need to change - unless it's a lot different from the scope of the original router - it's the LAN IP address of the router that needs to be changed.
It sounds like you need to change the router IP address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 to match the original router,
When you make that change, the PC will temporarily lose connection to the router, until it acquires a new IP address, which it should do by simply doing a PC restart.
Then, you can confirm all is OK again by being able to access the router at 192.168.1.1 and the cameras should all reconnect automatically, though you'll need to power cycle the one that connected after the new router was installed, as that must be set to use DHCP and not a static address.
I hope that makes sense!

Thanks for this information, if the ip address is change to 192.168.1.1 this ip is going to be used to go back into the router web GUI correct? i was able to bring back some camaras using the SADP TOOL I modify the IP address and change it to
xxx.xxx.0.xx and they came on, but the SADP tool does not scan for Dahua camaras and iI have 5 of them I am not sure if there is a tool to scan for the Dahua camaras and modify the ip addresses .
Thanks
Regards.

Yes, it would be just as if the previous router was back in place.

If you just changed the new router IP address to be the same as the replaced router - no other changes would be needed.
If you decide to do that - you'll also now need to put the Hikvision cameras IP addresses back to what they were before you changed them.
Fortunately, SADP doesn't care what IP address the cameras are on in order to be able to find them.

Thank you all for your responses, the problem was corrected by changing the LAN IP of the new router.
Thanks again my cameras are up and running.
Regards.
