so i just recieved a new set of cameras from http://www.gwsecu.com/ i think from what i have read that it is Dahua products, annyhow its 2 x 3mp cameras and one dvr h.264 it says on the front.

Camera models : KDT-HW10RC83-DEP and KDT-HD18RC83-DEP IP: 192.168.1.108

I have tryed connecting the DVR unit directly to the router, via switch and everything but i cant get the cameras to show. i have now tryed every possible thing i know and been working on it for 16hours (lol)

I have gathered that there are some problems with built in PoE in the NVR - wich is the way i intended to set the system up. Unfortunately i have not recieved anny extra power supply with the cameras so i cant plug dem directly in the router to set them up (as i cant power them up)

I have a cd that followed the cams and in tools i have the following:

DeviceConfig
IpConfig
UpdateTool 1.3.2

My router is : Netgear WNDR4000

When i plug the DVR directly in the router i can find the cameras(if i connect my pc to the NVR PoE built in ports along with the cameras) it shows as 192.168.1.108 x 2 but i cant connect to them, or change ip in IpConfig. im really frustated as i feel that i have tryed everything, google , youtube etc but i seems that everyone else manages to get theire cameras to work fine.

If annyone feels like giving me a guide, link , step by step or feels like answering me what to do, i would be so happy i cant even start to describe how nice it would be.

Btw when i find the cameras im connected directly to the NVR built in PoE with my computer running the Search tools.
 
Use the program ONViF manager this will help you see your devices and configure them
 
ok so guys i "hotwired" a 12 volt and connected one camera to the normal switch and the camera showed up and works perfectly. Connected the DVR to the same switch and am viewing the picture on there aswell. Real questions: why arent the camera showing up when connected to internal PoE port switch? And how to fix it ?
