Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-i5 - Active - No Connection to Hikvision NVR

[No Confirmation]

My cctv system
Hikvision HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P - network video recorder - second hand
Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-i5 - poe camera x 2 - second hand
Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU - poe camera x 4 - second hand
Annke AN-i51EM - poe camera - new
Annke AP-i51DS - poe camera - new
Annke AP-i91DM - poe camera - new
12v power supply
Win 11 PC

EDIT: I should have said here earlier, that I have primally set up this system on my kitchen table, PC, NVR, Camera's, Power Supply etc., to iron out any problems, before all the cameras are fitted to their respective positions

The 4 x Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU, Annke AN-i51EM and Annke AP-i51DS cameras activated using SADP and Chrome Browser, and are working fine when connected to the Hikvision NVR.

The Annke AP-i91DM camera activated using SADP and Chrome Browser, and can be viewed through the browser, with the Annke Live View, and configurations adjusted as needed. But will not connect, when plugged in, to the Hikvision HiLook NVR.

The 2 x Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-i5 cameras are already active, and I am able to adjust their IP range, using the 12345 password, with an on-screen confirmation, 'Parameters modification completed' in SADP, so I am assuming the password is good ! They will open Chrome Browser, but, 'This site can't be reached' 'refused to connect' is displayed across the browser page. These camera's will not connect when plugged into the Hikvision HiLook NVR either. Enable DCHP is greyed out and not available in SADP. The gateway and subnet are in the correct range - 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.100 - subnet mask 255.255.255.0

I was a little surprised that the one Annke would not connect to the NVR.

I now realise the the 2 x Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-i5 are a little old,
The previous owner says the problem lies with my NVR,
He said - The bullet cameras have been working on Hikvision NVR DS-7716NI-M4 16. New very powerful 16 channel NVR. And I tend on my DS-7608ANI-M2/8p both bullet cameras working perfectly fine.

I am open to all suggestions to try and get these 3 cameras up and running, with the existing, already working 6 camera's, on the Hikvision HiLook NVR

Hopefully its something silly and an easy fix

Thank you in advance for all your comments.

If the NVR is POE and all the cameras are POE, what role does the "12v power supply" play?

When using SADP Tool through my PC, to switch, to camera, the switch is not POE.

Is the NVR set to provide the IP to the camera using its virtual server or are you setting static IP's in the camera?

If I understand this correctly,
When I am connecting the camera to my switch, connected to my PC, to view in my Chrome browser, I am setting the camera IP, static, in the same subnet as my PC and router,
When the camera is connected to the NVR, the NVR seems to choose the IP for the camera, and set the IP in the camera, that is how it seems to be, with the camera's that work ok with the NVR, even though I have previously set the camera static IP, to be able to view the camera through the PC and Browser.

Having read your question, you have got me thinking about the NVR virtual server and the camera's that do not work,
I'll set the system up again, and have a look at some IP's
