Apologies, I probably didn’t make myself clear in my last post. I am no longer using the red / WAN port on the router but still encountered the issue of the cameras not working if the router cable went into the switch and then a cable from the switch into the NVR LAN (despite the Ethernet ports...

Afternoon That cable marked in red was only there as a temporary measure to see if that worked. Usually the Vodafone cable went into the switch and then from the switch a cable went into the NVR LAN port. I also did what you suggested re the ports / cables in the router but still had the same...

I should also have said that as per my previous post and screenshots of the SADP tool, I DO see the NVR and 3 cameras when temporarily plugged into an NVR port and also see the NVR and 5 cameras when plugged into the Vodafone router. The issue now is I can only view the 3 that are directly...

Ok - hopefully I can address and make sense to the points you raise All of the Ethernet ports in the house do currently work - is there a reason you think they wouldn’t? 1) previously only the 3 ports were used on the NVR for the 3 cameras connected directly. In the picture one of the...

Thanks for the reply and suggestions - hopefully I can explain what is now what. Before I do however, the way the system and house is cabled hasn't been changed so even though, obviously, there are issues now everything worked fine previously. The NVR is situated quite some distance from the...

Apologies, I couldn't seem to edit the last post to attach the screenshot

Many thanks again for the reply and suggestions - apologies for the delay, I have put my back out and have been laying on a hard floor dosed up to the eye balls with morphine since Sunday - so I'm hoping this is at least coherent! I have only done point one of the above (mainly because I am in...

Hi @sportster Many thanks for your reply - hopefully this will make sense! Previously the cameras on the external POE switch were on the 192.168.1.xxx network and the cameras directly into the NVR were on the 192.168.125.x network. These were set up with the help of Dan a while ago on this...

Hi. I found invaluable help here previously and hope you can assist again. I have searched other threads but cannot find a solution (that I understand!) I have 8 HIK cameras with 3 connected directly into the NVR and 5 that are connected via a remote PoE switch at the end of the garden. I...

just to add to the above - I’ve put the IP addresses back to what they were and if I connect to the switch and type an address in the browser (and log on) I can view all the cameras that way. But still nothing via the app or HDMI

Hi Dan The plot slightly thickens and I may have made a cock up… you mentioning the dual network got me thinking Connected into the main ISP router we have an AMPLIFI mesh system. I was connected to this earlier (in the house) when I ran the ipconfig However, having gone down the garage to...

Thanks a lot Dan - I realise I didn’t make that completely clear, so apologies I’ve checked the IP range and it’s now 192.168.115.1 - .189 So am I right in thinking that I need to change the IP addresses for the 5 cameras via the VGA/HDMI settings to any free IP address within the range (I can...

Cheers, Dan I’m a little confused though - the 3 cameras that are connected directly to the NVR DO work fine. It’s the 5 via the PoE / switch which don’t; although the port lights on the PoE switch are lit and the cameras have their IR lights illuminated at night (I’m not sure if this is what...

This is the screen from the VGA/HDMI

Cheers, Dan. Please see attached (I’m never sure what I should / shouldn’t share or blank out, so let me know if I need to redact anything!)
