I have an NVR4108-8P-4KS2 with some dahua cameras and some ACTI non dahua cams. It seems everytime I want to add a camera I have to default the camera settings in the NVR and re-add all the cameras. Two of the cameras are PTZ ( one dahua and one ACTI ). Right now I have the ACTI PTZ running straight off the builtin POE on the NVR and the dahua one running off an external POE switch due to location.

I am wondering if the issues are being caused by the PTZ consuming to many watts or if it is more likely an issue with Onvif communication between the NVR and ACTI cameras.

Also, under Registration, It tends to like to add the non ACTI cameras more than once even though it sees the IP is the same as one already registered. ( this may have to do with not setting static IPs which I am trying to avoid until I have this all straightened out)

Just want to note: Once all cameras are finally set up, if left alone everything seems to work fine.
