if i plug the network switch into one of the poe ports then go into camera management, the nvr seems to recognise this and switches off the poe on that port, if i then connect one camera to the switch i can find that camera through the switch either on plug and play or manual add on that ports designated channel on the nvr.
however when i connect more cameras to the switch i can only find them on manual if i select one of the other 16 poe port spaces they do not come up when manual adding to one of the other spare non poe port channels (ie 17-32).
it also seems that if any part of the system is powered down nvr,switch or camera then the cameras attached to the switch loose their setting and no longer show as being connected to the nvr.
thanks nick
How did You manage to find the other cameras in the external Poe switch?
On my case I have 16 channel Hikvision NVR with 8 Poe ports and I need to get 7 cameras from the other building to connect to the NVR. I set up Poe switch and added cameras on the other building and run cat cable from switch to the NVR and inserted to the last Poe port (ch . NVR shows that the Power in Poe port is disabled and it can find one camera on the external switch by Plug n Play mode. I can manually add any of the cameras from the external switch into the 8th port (channel) at the NVR but I'm not able to add multiple cameras from External switch. I'l try to add them to the ports 9-16 but they just do not connect.
I use the same subnetwork for cameras as NVR inner network (192.168.3.xxx).
What do I do wrong?
Using NVR's LAN port for External switch is not option today cause Cameras need to be separated from local network and only NVR acess is allowed from LAN.
