Just a heads up on the SADP tool.....when working with an NVR with 2 LAN adapters: for me (with a DS-7616NI-M2) the SADP tool reports the MAC address of the LAN 1 card, no matter what card (LAN 1 or LAN 2) is plugged into the network I'm testing. My gut says, the SADP tool is mis-interpreting...

L3 switches do a nice job of isolating traffic. My guess is something pretty basic is mis-configured. To compliment what David asked, I'd suggest: plug a laptop with the SADP tool into VLAN 20 and confirm all your VLAN 20 devices have the correct IP address / range / gateway. If you're still...

Should be easy peasy for you :) The only caution I might have..... you'll need to decide on the IP address assignment for your LAN devices, using: DHCP, or manually assigned static IP addresses If you decide to go with DHCP, I'd strongly suggest you utilize the DHCP Resevations (aka MAC...

You have it correct. Remember, though, the diagram is just a "sample". It's not the only way "networking" can be done. I'm not trying to confuse you, but I'll attempt to add further clarification to your comments, below: "Two POE switches linked by two Cat6/fibre cables". Correct. The...

I don't have your firmware V4.83.010 \ 241118 to test with. That said, in V5.04.050 build 250124 I'll offer these observations: using NVR GUI (via Device Access) the full serial number is available, on my 1080 monitor. Just expand the column width & the full s/n is there using Chrome...

Do this: One POE to connect over Cat6(?) to the Dual LAN NVR, with the second LAN port connected to the router for access over the internet? Don't do this: Both POEs to connect to each of the NVR LAN ports over Cat6(?) - but that means the NVR has no LAN/internet access You're thinking is...

There are many ways to accomplish what I think you're after. Hopefully what I'm about to suggest is not beyond your skill level. In any event, one option to consider: you probably want to avoid an NVR with the /8P or /16P designation. Therefore, my go to would be an NVR with the Dual LAN...

Can't help you with the PTZ question. It's still old, but did you look here for newer/old firmware --> EU Portal

ok, seems at one point the configuration had 8 cameras. But now you have 6. The is my best guess, since all 6 cameras are connected to 1 x NVR POE port: figure out the full IP addresses for all 6 cameras. Extend the column in SADP so you/we can see the full IP address. disable all 8 x NVR...

First some observations: I guess that typo is a DS-7616NI-Q1 you omitted the brand/model of the dumb switch, so I'll assume it's a 10/100 switch & it has "zero" 1000Mb ports the DS-7616NI-Q1 has a single 10/100/1000Mb port the DS-3E0310P switches have a 8 x 10/100 + 2 x 10/100/1000...

March 9 2025, I'm now back on DST. This issue has returned on v5.04.050....... Playback Event Markers on my Web Chrome Browser are off by 1 hour again. Thx for NOT addressing this HIK Development. It's only been a year. EDIT: Oddly enough, a direct login to my Panoramic DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL...

Just run the SADP tool on your laptop....... with the laptop plugged into a spare NVR POE port. IF you use the LAN port you'll get significantly different results. Be sure to re-try it if you wish. Post a clear screenshot from SADP (but to avoid confusion for the inexperienced, please do...

What brand AND model is each switch ? Need to know:: dumb or managed switches ? VLAN capable ? speeds of ports ? Brand & model should provide enough info so I can look up the switch spec sheets. What model of NVR ? What will "just work / get by" vs "best" depends on the above.

The 8 x POE ports on your NVR are in a separate, totally unique network (or "Broadcast Domain") from the LAN port connected to your home network. The NVR does NOT copy (or "route") Ethernet packets from the 192.168.0.xxx network (your LAN port) to the 192.168.254.xxx network (8 x POE ports) or...

Don't get "too" concerned re: saturating the inter-switch link, just yet. I don't have your environment to test with, but looking at my own switches & individual camera links running @ 100Mbs..... then with a bit of math I'll offer this: with 4 cameras sharing a single 100Mbs link: keep your...
