So I am installing a 12 camera system for my brother's residence. I purchased the following hardware;
Dahua
(10) IPC-T5442T-ZE
(2) IPC-K42A
(1) NVR5216-16P-4KS2E
I have successfully added 9 cameras; 8 via onboard POE in the NVR, and 1 via POE switch. For the life of me, I cannot get the NVR to recognize anything more than the 9 cameras. I have verified all lines and cameras are functioning properly. I have used 3 different POE switches with no success. Each of the three POE switches has worked individually, but again only one camera is recognized. It should be noted I believe the switches are fine and sending power because at night, despite the NVR not recognizing the additional 3, I can see the IR's turned on. Thought it might be a bandwidth issue and have set all cameras to 1080P/30FPS but still no luck! Would prefer not to have to buy POE injectors and use a switch instead, but I am running out of options?
Advice, suggestions, help would be appreciated! thanks.
