Hi all
I have 7 brand new DS-2CD1341-I cameras connecting to a new NVR DS-7616NI-I2/16P.
However I have a slightly unusual network config in that two of the cameras will not be directly connected to the NVR. I have a pair of UBNT AP's set up bridged, thus the path of traffic for two cameras will be:
DS-7616NI-I2/16P PoE Port
to
Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M5 AP (bridged)
~200m distance wireless link
Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M5 Client (bridged)
to
TP-LINK 4 port PoE (unmanaged) switch
to
2x DS-2CD1341
The cameras were working fine in plug and play mode when attached directly to the NVR. Since changing the password on each camera and setting network on cameras to DHCP, they no longer connect to the NVR. I believe this is because the admin password on the cameras differs to the NVR.
I attempted to change the camera config on D01 from plug'n'play to manual, but get confused on the IP. I had presumed that the cameras would get an IP from my networks DHCP server (eg; IP passthru) however it appears the NVR gets a DHCP address and then uses some other semi-manual way of assigning addresses to hardware attached to any of its 16 PoE ports, does this sound correct? I cannot find any settings pertaining to the NVR's PoE ports.
