You haven't provided any detail. What model are the cameras? What model was the old NVR? What model is the new NVR?
check the cables, you may got a loose connection
i lost 30 mins to figure one bad connector, the camera wasn't negotiating the poe with the switch correctly

You need to manually configure the cameras on the new NVR (IP, user, password). You can also default them, and when you connect them to a POE port on the new NVR, the NVR will activate them with its own password, and auto-configure them.
don't give them all, start making one work. obviously you make some simple mistake (setup/scan and input pw for each camera is described in manual, we won't repeat that)
without explaining what you do tried, we keep losing time watching this thread

We have seen many instances that sometimes cameras can be more sensitive to power fluctuations, so maybe the 8port NVR is pushing just enough on the threshold to work, but a bad cable looses just enough that the camera doesn't turn on...
