oh, sorry were you meaning plug the pc in the main port ( none POE ) and the cams in the POE ?

 

[0blar]

yes, see the picture
PC and cameras plug to NVR POE (all in POE ports)

 

[stokie21]

ok yes thats what i did

 

[0blar]

can you unpluged the router from your nvr ?

and run again the network scanner (range 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254)

 

[stokie21]

It only finds my pc and NVR it still don’t find the cameras

That’s with just the NVR, my computer and the cameras

No router

 

[0blar]

does your cameras set to dhcp or have static ip ?
Why do you have dhcp server at 192.168.1.100 ? you should get your ip from your nvr

 

[stokie21]

Camera is factory reset, I then log in and set DHCP

I then plug in NVR and it’s not found

I have set user & password the same on camera and NVR as I have to log in the camera to set DHCP as it comes as a static as standard

can you set your 3 cameras ip manually to :10.1.1.10, 10.1.1.11, 10.1.1.11 (gateway 10.1.1.1)
and test again

 

[stokie21]

i can only do 1 at a time, i only have 1x 12v transformer

if i unplug it from the NVR i lose POE

I will set one now, is this test on the NVR with NO router again?

 

[0blar]

Poe power the cameras !!!
Only connect ethernet cable to camera from NVR !!!
as you connect your pc
no router

 

[stokie21]

I can not access the cameras via POE, to change them to a static.

I have to plug them into the local network to see them, set the static of 10.1.1.10

save the config

then plug in the nvr

i then have to plug in my PC to test

 

[stokie21]

Nothing shows, I set the camera to

10.1.1.10

10.1.1.1 as gateway

255.255.255.0

Google dns

 

[0blar]

did you rescan the network range ?

 

[stokie21]

Yes nothing appeared at all that time, not even the NVR

 

[0blar]

Only 1 cameras and pc are pluged to your nvr, right ?

 

[stokie21]

Yeah that’s correct

 

[stokie21]

1 cam
1pc

Scan Finds pc and NVR only

My 2 cents, unplug everything from the NVR ports. Reset NVR to defaults.
Reboot it.
Reset one camera to factory defaults.
Plug ONE reset camera into a POE port on the NVR, Don't do anything else for 5 minutes.
See if the cam is seen AFTER at least 5 minutes of waiting.
