Lost power and now can’t see half my cameras. Lorex NVR Wi-Fi doorbell needs to be put on 192.168.0.1. But the NVR keeps assigning everything on the 10.1.1 network. Using the Dahua config app I can’t see anything. Going to do a hard reset on the 5442 and add a netgear GS105P switch again. Last time it crashed my system assigning double IP addresses.
8 Lorax cameras directly into NVR, 2 Dahua plugged into switch then into router. Hope this works as I spent 20 hours already. ChatGPT said it will cause a loop and crash the system but not really believing AI much.
 
NVR attached cams should be in the 10.x.x.x network typically asmost know. switch attached cams with DHCP will typically get an IP from the LAN router. Unless they fried in the power loss.
Then their IP is

3rd party POE NVR is bit annoy to manage the cameras, you have to reset it via external switch/POWER then add to the NVR.
Normally buy a NONE POE NVR if have different brands cams to add in.
