HIKVION NVR DELETE IP CAMERA PROBLEM

Your first screenshot shows the pre-defined IP addresses on the NVR PoE ports, and also the 'found' cameras on the LAN, in a similar way to what SADP would show.
The channels associated with the NVR PoE ports can't be deleted - but they can be re-defined.

I don't think you have said what you need to do - but I'm going to assume that you want to connect the LAN-based cameras to a 16 channel NVR that has 16 PoE ports.

Suggestion :
In the NVR web GUI, Under System | Camera Management, select the NVR channel you want to be associated with the first LAN-connected camera.
Ensure there isn't a camera connected in to the actual NVR PoE port for the channel.
Use the Modify button to change the mode to Manual instead of Plug&Play.
Change the IP address to be that of the LAN-connected camera that you want top connect.
Ensure the password is correct, protocol=Hikvision, port=8000
Click Save and after a minute the camera should connect.
Repeat as needed.

You can probably do the same using the VGA/HDMI interface - but I don't have a suitable setup to check that for you.
Maybe you can figure that out.

yes, I am trying to connect the LAN based camera to the NVR, i followed your steps and still the camera has not showed up

So, are some (all?) of these NVR's proprietary in that the 16 ports on the back are not a 'true' network switch; but instead the software's channel 1,2,3 etc is hard coded specifically to the corresponding physical port number off the back?

That configuration does work OK.

Can you provide some screenshots of :
SADP showing the cameras and NVR on the LAN.
The NVR web GUI Camera Configuration page.

The Hikvision NVR PoE channels by default handle a camera connected to the actual PoE port.
These ports are on a separate network from the NVR LAN interface.
But the channels can be reconfigured to connect instead to cameras on the same IP address range as the NVR LAN interface.

Sorry about the late reply, I'll send some more pics when i reach at the site, but another thing I noticed is that the "discovered" cameras have a 10.148.79.xxx address and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1 and the NVR internal addresses is set to start from 192.168.254.1, how is it possible for the discovered cameras to have a 10.148.79.xxx?1621601462871.png

Is the 10.148.79.xxx IP scheme a known network in the building? I can't help but think the cameras picked up addresses from another DHCP server.

That's normal for Hikvision NVR PoE ports, it's the default.

They are discovered using the same 'broadcast' method as SADP uses, in other words they are found even on a different IP address range than the LAN interface of the NVR, as long as they are on the same network wiring and switches as the NVR LAN interface.

What is the IP address of the NVR LAN interface?
If it's not in the same range as that of the 'found' cameras, that would explain why you didn't manage to connect the cameras as per the steps in post #21

The IP address of the NVR is 192.168.1.132

OK, so if that's valid for the LAN that the NVR is on, you'll need to change the IP addresses of the cameras that are also on the LAN to be in the same range.
Best set them up with a static address, outside the scope of any DHCP server on the LAN.
Then they will connect to the NVR, as per the steps outlined.

Did that already, when i try to add a camera it says 'No more IP cameras allowed' and when i try to delete it says 'No IP camera for deletion'. Thanks for all your help so far btw, much appreciated .
 
No - as advised, you must modify the channel you want the camera to appear on, after the channel is set to Manual instead of Plug & Play.
You can't add or delete a PoE channel.
This will definitely work if you follow the steps as specified.
