Hi,
I have a Hikvision DS-7600 series NVR (8 x POE port) which is connected to our main router via LAN cable. I am trying to connect our cameras which currently run via our Wifi. The NVR will pick these cameras up automatically from our wifi as soon as we turn it on, we dont have to search for them or enter any settings, they just appear in the camera management and in live view.
Due to wanting to relocate these cameras to areas where our wifi doesnt reach, I am trying to connect them to the NVR via the POE ports. The cameras are ONVIF, not Hikvision, but they are POE and NVR compatable.
Despite knowing the IP address of these cameras, and all the settings that the NVR uses when on WiFi, as soon as I plug the POE cable in they loose the connection and wont reconnect by entering the settings manually.
I have reset these cameras and plugged them in as if they were new but they just cannot be seen by the NVR box unless they are running via our wifi. We also have another POE camera by a different manufacturer and this one works fine, when we loose the live view because of an IP address change then a simple search on the network in the NVR finds it and I can add it back in with its new settings, but these other cameras will not be picked up on any search, when connected directly to the NVR via POE or when on wifi.
It feels as if these cameras are blocked somehow but I dont understand how, or how to fix it.
Any advice that can be provided would be gratefully recieved - thank you!
