Failed to find network host

[ponyrider127]

I had everything up and running at a test site so I moved NVR to the finale spot plugged in 4 camera's and now only one works the other 3 say failed to find host. What happened? When I searched for the camera's 4 come up with green check mark but when I add 3 go to red dot and one is green.

Well after the 3rd time rebooting they all showed up. Still don't know what happened.

You have to allow the Cameras to come up on the NVR by themselves (assuming a PoE NVR). You shouldnt manually move them from top to bottom pane. Sometimes it takes a while for the NVR to see them. Reboot and wait works 99% of the time and they will auto populate to the bottom pane.

This has been a large learning curve. The wife say's I'm like a dog with a bone. I have gone from knowing nothing all the way to setting up the VPN server, I have had lots of good reading and some help from good people on the site. The only thing left is the POE switch that I have to get yet.

Thank you all that has helped.
