Hello all. New in here... be gentle.
I have several, various HIK IP cameras that I have salvaged from refurbishments over the last couple of years. All of them pretty new or v good condition.
Hooked them up via a POE switch on my laptop and named+addressed them all. Set the default router address etc. Some of the used ones I had the login details for already.
Each camera worked fine on the dining room table.
So, ran a network cable from the router in the hall to the loft where the NVR lives and also put an 8 port POE switch (new) in the loft too.
Ran a new network cable to the garage with one POE camera on the end of it. This also runs to the loft.
NVR plugged into the loft 8 port switch.
2x camera's run directly into the NVR POE ports (its only 2 channel) and work fine. Everything else on the system I am having issues with.
I know I can't record the other cameras yet, as the NVR doesn't support it. But I just cannot view the other cameras on the network. It refuses the login details and I don't understand why.
If I go to a webpage and enter the address.... e.g. 192.168.1.32, the HIK login page will open. But, it refuses the login (yet it works directly connected).
Can't get in with SADP or iVMS-4200 software either (but can see them)
What am I not setting up correctly? Do I need to address cameras after the switch differently somehow? I am really not up to speed on this ip stuff.
It seems that when my laptop is connected to wifi, that affects the connection. Why would that be? I thought I had set my cameras to work on my network.
My router gateway is 192.168.1.254
Subnet is 255.255.255.0
Each camera is addressed 192.168.1.##
Hmmm..... I am clearly not getting something
