yes, that also works. it's not as if you'll be swapping fly leads regularly etc... at the very least less clutter. ;)

ok. I have found the problem! I didn't mention earlier (sorry didn't think it was completely relevant) that I had to fix the RJ45 plugs on both Trendnet 310/311 cams. They had some water damage/corrosion, so cut the old female jacks off quite a while ago (2-3 years?!) and attached new male...

thank you for this. THis also worked for me and my Trendnet 310PI and Trendnet 311PI cameras, which were re-flashed with the Hikvision firmware. I also had to change my plugs due to corrosion/water damage. I asked Trendnet support for the wiring schematics a while ago, got a response but Im...

if this is the case, what do i do about it then? since they work as intended on the Zyxel switch. Would then have to assume the NVR POE hub is somewhat 'dumber' than the Zyxel one... in that a wiring issue on the plug is causing the issue? This is where it gets odd then. How weird.

interesting, I will look into this. I didn't know this. thanks,.

hmmm... yes, they are 'manual' all along and not via P&P, Ill give this a go, but not sure if the different networks may be visible or accessible across the NVR gateway ... but i haven't tried this. as for the wireshark idea, I know the cams are broadcasting ok, since they work finbe on the...

they are literally next to the NVR via a 1m test flylead. I've tried different ports, different IPs... reset.... then switch back to Zyxcel and it works.

well this is the weird thing absolutely. can the wiring on the cam plugs be affecting 'visibility' on the NVR. Ie is a twisted pair incorrectly wired for the NVR to be able to communicate with it? But the Zyxel can? very odd.

personally i would run a cat 5e cable between available remote ends of routers/access points and extend this way as a 'backbone'. you can then connect wifi access points on each end to extend wireless capabilities. the other way perhaps is using DLAN points, using your electricity cabling?

patch panels are used extensively in high volume corporates and datacentres throughout the world. if there were a problem with data corruption/loss using them, Im sure they wuoldn't be used bu the likes of google and anyone else for that matter. just adding my two cents worth.

im running 5e over a 150m ish length outdoors. this also powers my IP cam via POE at the remote location. no problems so far and no power spikes/drops and consumption on the pOE switch side of things.

just fyi, I have a cam at a remote point down my driveway whihc is located approx 150m cable run from the internal 'datacentre'. this cable is a Cat5e cable, outdoor type. it powers the cam over POE, I have no issues.

ONVIF is usually an open standard, hence if the camera supports ONVIF and the NVR supports ONVIF you can mix and swap. There's a tool 'Onvif Manager' or similar to download, whihc allows you to connect to the camera using the ONVIF protocol to see if it supports this stack.

thanks for your reply Alastair. because I have my PC connected to the POE cctv port of the NVR with the PC network adapter manually configured using that IP address range (it's pretending to be a CCTV cam this way and gives me access to 'that side' of the network able to connect and see all the...
