[Sivaram]

I recently bought an 8ch nvr from tp link and i have installed an hard drive when i connect my nvr to poe to an ip camera it doesn’t show any cameras
I have even connected to an working setup but still it doest show ip but when i connect to internet the lan port transmit data and internet working on the nvr but still no camera i am connecting other brand cameras like cp plus but which have alredy initialized any ideas or just i replace the nvr

What model of TP-LINK NVR so we'll know if it's a POE NVR or are you using a POE switch for the POE cameras?

If using a POE switch, all the cameras and the NVR's LAN must be on the same subnet using unique static IP's that are outside of the router's DHCP pool.
The POE switch would connect to all the cameras, to the NVR and to the router.....don't connect NVR to router.

Let's talk about cameras:

• How many?
• What makes and models are the cameras?

Also, did you comply with what I said in post #2 as below?

There's also a TP-LINK Vigi NVR User Guide that goes through the process.

I have connected poe to cameras and then uplink to nvr.
If the nvr ip is 192.168
The cameras ip is 192.168.
Will it still show or i need to modify cameras ip
The cameras are cp plus iam currently using dahua nvr with cameras ip as 192.168.

But the same camera is not showing in the view section

If the nvr ip is 192.168.0.1
The cameras ip is 192.168.1.1
Will it still show or i need to modify cameras ip

You need to modify.
If using a POE switch, all the cameras and the NVR's LAN must be on the same subnet using unique static IP's that are outside of the router's DHCP pool.
The "same subnet" means the numbers in the first three sets of numbers must be the same, as in 192.168.1.XXX or 192.168.0.XXX or 10.0.0.XXX.

Bro thanks a lot its not in same ip pool

Glad you found the issue and changed it.

thank you. Man !!!

You're welcome.

From a speaker in the camera or from a speaker attached to the NVR?

Consider the 5MP Vigi turret model # C450, as it has a high probability of working well with the Vigi NVR and should be available to you in India according to the TP-LINK site for India. It's POE or 12VDC. The sensor should be larger for a 5MP sensor but at least it has IR in addition to a visible white LED.

It's difficult to say according to the user guide whether or not it can sound alarm on its built-in speaker. Chapter 6.11 states "Go to Settings > Event > Alarm Device > Sound Alarm" to configure it. Perhaps your local vendor can clarify that for you.

It is available in 2.8 and 4.0mm focal lengths.
