The latest pics show multiple config errors & problems. At some point it seems the cameras have been moving from the NVR's POE ports to the home "router" network (& maybe vice versa).... this creates a lot of confusion. This may have been done by moving cables or adding cables. Or do you have...

First... an explanation of the networks in play: Your DS7608NIX-I2/8P/S has 2 networks or 2 LANs: 1st network is the LAN port.... generally this is cabled into your primary home network 2nd network is the NVR's POE ports (in your case 8 ports) these 2 networks are independent, thus, if you...

My best guess is you're good to go. I must be missing somehting :). The 6 x cameras seem to be known to the NVR's POE ports ok. I'm guessing you re-cabled the cameras directly to the NVR POE ports. The NVR's POE ports D1-D8 are likely set to plug & play.... which I imagine is fine for your...

ok, understood. Hope that gets it sorted for you. As an aside, be certain your new switch has at least 2 x 1000mbps capable ports to match the highest speed of your Vodafone ports as well as the NVR's LAN port. No point running those links at 100mbps. My guess is that old switch is a...

No problem. It's your system. You got to do what works for you. From my remote location, until proven otherwise, I'm still of the opinion that the RED/WAN port on the Vodafone is messing with us, and for a DSL installation like yours, this RED/WAN port is not to be used. But hey what do I know...

ok, we are on the same page. I think this is precisely where we want to get back to. As I said in my earlier post, that RED marked cable I highlighted must be removed. I'm not proficient enough in HIK-Connect to comment on it's behavior. I'm just trying to get your networks working. If your...

In the altered pic I've attached...... the cable marked in RED is a problem. That RED marked cable forms an inter-switch link between the Vodafone network and the NVR's POE network. You don't want this. If the ports were active (yes I see the ports seem inactive in the pic) IP traffic would...

Based off those pictures, I'm surprised (shocked) that those household Ethernet ports still work ! My guess is they don't.... but I'm not there to see what else is going on. ok.... so there's another Ethernet switch in the "media cupboard". We can deal with it. Step 1 - NVR's POE ports ONLY...

Sorry to hear you're laid up. Fingers crossed you have a quick recovery. I'm bad, in my earlier post, I should have used the phrase --> if this reveals nothing NEW.... <-- Anyway, no problem. We continue to work the problem. ok.... this smells like a networking 101 issue. As best I can...

I'll quickly concede you have me thoroughly confused as to what's going on. I don't know the Vodaphone router, but it's seems it's a normal household class router. 192.168.1.xxx appears to be the primary network.... and the Vodaphone serves DHCP Clients with 192.168.1.2 --> 200 any WiFi...

Yes, it appears there's a significant IP Addressing screw up, probably triggered by a router mis-configuration or change. e.g. some devices using DHCP and other devices using static IP addresses. Mixing the two strategies usually results in a headache whenever a router gets swapped out. A few...

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED often means: the IP Address is reachable, BUT the target IP Address is not listening on Port XXX. In your case, I'd suggest your NVR is NOT listening on Port 80. So now what ? Login to your NVR via the NVR/HDMI interface, and verify what Ports are configured for HTTP &...

I doubt I can add much beyond what JB has already provided. I too feel it’s the air blowing thru the perforated case that’s responsible for the bulk of noise. If you have room inside your case, you might offset the fan by about 1”…… it’s still not silent but it is quieter. The attached pic...

As an alternative: IF you can source one, I’d suggest check out the price point of the non-POE DS-7616NI-M2 vs the non-POE DS-7608NI-M2 you’re considering. You might find the price point of the non-POE DS-7616NI-M2 very attractive (or not). The fan is still noisy though. If you don’t care...

To compliment (or complicate) what was previously posted: it depends how Working Mode is selected for the NIC interfaces: Multi-Address - yes they are independent interfaces Net Fault-Tolerance - they are NOT independent. They act as 1 interface. Rules for Multi-Address, EACH “physical”...
