Hi all.
I have a 16 channel (8port) NVR. all cameras (3 so far) plugged directly into the integrated POE ports work great. However, I have one issue where I have a cable plugged into and integrated port which goes out to my garage. The other end is plugged into a 16port POE switch which also has 3 Hikvision cameras plugged into it.
The odd thing is I can only get 1 of the three cameras to come up in the NVR at a time. With all 3 plugged in, 1 camera shoes up. However, I can unplug any 2 of them and the remaining camera will show up.
I just can't get all three.
What am I missing? Can I not use the integrated POE port on the NVR in this way? I want wanted to double check before plugging the garage cable into my normal LAN switch.
