Hi Guys,
As you can tell I'm new to the forum and looking for a bit of help. I've been playing around for a few hours now and been searching on here/Googling for answers with not much success.
I've got:
- DS-7608NI-E2/8P running v3.4.0 build 151103
- 2 x DS-2CD3345-I running v5.3.8 build 160108
Home network is all ethernet connected:
- Billion 7800N modem/router - port forwarding has all been setup
- TP-Link 16port Switch (not PoE)
- All cables are Cat6 if that matters
Connected the NVR to the Billion and got it running no problem. Using SADP, changed the IP and have no trouble accessing the NVR using the web interface.
Connect 1 camera to the NVR. The ethernet port lights flash away and the IR light comes on. Using SADP it doesn't find the connected camera. I login to the NVR web interface and through to 'Camera Management' it seems to recognise the camera is connected there but under 'Status' is says "Offline(Network Abnormal)"
I've tried the 'Modify' button to change from Plug n Play to Manual, to update the IP address but that didn't fix anything.
Also tried using different ports on the NVR but getting the same 'Status' message.
From here I've unplugged the camera from the NVR and using a separate single PoE injector, connect it to my 16 port switch. This time SADP can see the camera and the NVR. I'm able to login to the camera's web interface and can see the camera's image. So I know it all works just not when it's connected to the NVR. Also using SADP I was able to update the camera's IP address, but after plugging it back into the NVR still getting the same 'Status' error.
Not really sure where to go from here. Don't want to have to go out and get a seperate PoE injector, I got the NVR with PoE so I wouldn't have to do that.
I hope I've explained my situation well enough and hope I've not completely botched this up. Hoping that it's not a compatibility issue with the NVR and cameras and have no idea if it's a firmware compatibility problem either (can't seem to find that info anywhere?)
I'll continue tinkering around but if anyone has thoughts/solutions any advice/help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
