[Resolved]PoE cameras not identified by NVR

[SLANGza]

Hi

I have a HiLook 8 PoE port NVR:

NVR-108MH-C/8P

Hikvision 8-ch 1U 8 PoE 4K NVR NVR-108MH-C/8P

www.hikvision.com

3x Bullet Cams
IMOU IPC-F42EAP

and

3x Dome Cams
IMOU IPC-S41FA P&T

Being different brands, I'm using the ONVIF protocol on the NVR to connect.

The NVR shows all 6 are connected and pulling watts.
However, on the camera setup screen, I'm having issues actually connecting to the NVR and displaying an image.

Network setup:
NVR connected to my router, gets an 192.168.8.x address
The cameras are all assigned 192.168.254.x addresses
All Ethernet ports are lit up and activity lights are occasionally flashing.
Cat6e cables

The status for all cameras remains, Network Unreachable.

Any advice would be appreciated

Update:

I figured it out and resolved the issue.

Plugged laptop into a POE port, downloaded the configtool (the most important part I didn't know about initially) and the camera was coming up as a 192.168.1.108 ip address. I changed the NVR internal ip address to that range, which fixed the problem.
Used the config tool to change all other cameras to the same password and updated their ip addresses. All of them had the 192.168.1.108 address.

It helps to read a few threads, learned a lot already. Thanks
