  1. Hello, I am new to this forum. I have installed many analog and IP cameras professionally but I worked with a IT expert and he did most of the networking. Now I am installing four DS-2CD2145F-IS gray market Hikvision cameras at my home and I cannot get more then one to show up on my un-managed switch (netgear FS116) they all show up fine if I replace the switch with a router, they work fine on the switch individually. My former coworker is 4,000 miles away, so I thought I would try the forum. I have them set with static IP's - that much I know. The subnet mask appears to be correct for my network. Using HTTP port 80 and server port 8000 for all four cams. I have checked using Hikvision's SADP tool and iVMS-4200 - same problem with both. I did a "arp -a" cmd ping on the network, it confirms that it sees the cameras on the router but not on the switch. I tried a different switch with the same results. I confirmed that my router does not have a firewall that would block the cams - and if it was something hidden I would think it would affect it with either a switch or router. I am pulling my hair out, I have been at this for 8 hrs and have current security threat that I need to be monitoring, not messing around with the network. I suspect it is something obvious that I am just completely missing. Please let me know if you have any ideas?
