I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 8 channel NVR and since it only got one ethernet port I also bought an PoE switch (Hikvision DS-3E0106HP-E 4port). I am trying to connect two Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU 4MP ColorVu. But I run into a problem that I dont know how to solve, Tried to search for a solution but no luck :/ Both the cameras get the same IP adress.
One says inactive in the pic but both were active for a while, been trying and resetting a couple of times. So the NVR was confused changing between the cameras randomly.

Anyone knows what to do to make the cameras get different IP adresses?

The default IP of a Hikvision cam is 192.168.1.64 and it's static; so you have 2 with the same IP and neither will budge because they are static (not dynamic / DHCP).
  1. Unplug the #2 cam from the switch.
  2. Log into the remaining cam at 192.168.1.64.
  3. Change it's IP to a unique IP in that subnet, 192.168.1.XXX but NOT 192.168.1.64; use an IP that is OUTSIDE of your router's DHCP pool.
  4. Insure it's still static, not dynamic (DHCP).
  5. Insure that it is working and has video; if OK, proceed to step #6.
  6. Plug in the one removed in step #1.
  7. Log into it at 192.168.1.64.
  8. Change it's IP to a unique IP in that subnet, 192.168.1.XXX; use an IP that is OUTSIDE of your router's DHCP pool.
  9. Insure it's still static, not dynamic (DHCP).
  10. Insure that it is working and has video

Thank you soo much. I will give it a go tomorrow :)

An easier solution is to modify the IP directly from the SADP. this should solve the IP conflict as the NVR will see the different IP. I have not encountered this problem with this model so perhaps the NVR or camera firmware is corrupt. Maybe flash the firmware (this could be a result of the recent update in firmware due to the
