Using 6 cameras. NVR is plugged into UPS. Office secretary came to work on Monday. No power outages over the weekend. No Link is displayed on the Monitor for all 6 cameras. POR the Hikvision, link LEDs blink trying to connect/detect and then go dark. Unplugged power cable tried again. Try to connect/detect and go dark. We have had this problem on/off for a year. The cameras had always come back on and displayed after a POR. I haven't checked voltage for the Poe. Since the LED's blink at the startup, I thought the power supply was OK.
 
I suggest:
  • Unplug all cameras and do one at a time with the POR attempt.
  • Wait at least 3 minutes for the single cam to connect before trying a 2nd cam and so on.

I went to the church office this AM. I did a POR to the NVR, of course it powered up detected and connected the cameras. it may be time for a new unit. The HDMI port has been flaky, I'm using a VGA > HDMI adapter to the monitor. I found a refurbished Hikvision on amazon for $90.00. Thanks for the tip.
