I have a Hikvision NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A) with 6 HV cams.
I've been a little unhappy with the NVR for some time, so have finally got round to buying an 8-port PoE switch, which will allow me to explore other options like BlueIris.
Right now though, I'm trying to just configure one of the cams to have an IP on my LAN subnet (192.168.1.0/24) instead of the NVR dishing out IPs for the cams
The NVR isnt happy with the cam having a LAN IP.
It seems to want to act as a DHCP server for all of the cams, and put them on its own internal subnet of 192.168.254.0/24
The steps I took..
Log into the cam itself, and update it to have an IP of 192.168.1.231
Log into the NVR web gui, and change the cam (in this case D04), to be registered Manually instead of Plug and Play
Update the registered IP of D04 cam to 192.168.1.231 so the NVR knows where to look
The NVR reports then reports the camera as being offline, with a Network Abnormal error.
Interestingly, the NVR has Virtual Host enabled, and when I try to access it via the ip and port the NVR provides, it does connect directly to the cam, so the NVR seems to know the cam is online
What am I missing here? Is it just not possible to have the cams on my LAN subnet, aswell as feeding into the NVR?
Thanks
This shows the way my cabling is now set up, but prior to making any changes on the NVR or cam
Changing D04 CAM to manually set IP
After updating the CAM IP, NVR claims its offline, yet offers a working vhost url for the cam...
