HikVision NVR, connect to NVR PoE internal network ports

[BassTeQ 0]

I see this NVR has its own subnet for its plug and play cameras, eg 192.168.1.x when the main network is 192.168.0.x

So I connected a patch cable between one of the PoE ports and the home router. Added a static route in the router to send any 192.168.1.x traffic via the main gateway 192.168.0.1

 

Doing this I can successfully ping the 192.168.1.x camera when connected to the 192.168.0.x network, great!

BUT I cant access the cameras internal webpage, it just times out. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

I know almost nothing about cameras but networking know a bit more.

 

Have you tried adding a route on the PC ?

 

route add 192.168.1.? mask 255.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 metric 2

 

Any difference?

You are making it more complicated than it needs to be.

 

Setup each camera to use DHCP from your router, or give them a static IP address.

Connect the LAN to the POE-Switch. No routing needed.

Unfortunately the PoE ports on the back of the NVR are auto assigned their own IP from the NVR itself, not the main router DHCP.

The cameras are set to DHCP before I connect them to the NVR, when they are connected to the NVR they are given a 192.168.1.x address, if I plug the camera into my main router then they get a 192.168.0.x

The NVR assigns the cameras an IP address without using DHCP, using a lower level protocol.

 

If you your DHCP server assigned them an IP address, then it will leave them alone.

You can manually add the camera using the IP address that your router assigned (set a reserved IP address in your router) in the NVR.

JoeyJoey HIK NVR create completely separate subnet for camera

BassTeO is right

I guess all u can do plug laptop to camera port and access cameras

Yep I know, but it doesn't have to use its own. The NVR does NOT have a DHCP server.

We know this

The point is that cameras will not be accessible by using NIC which is being used to connect NVR with home network

That how I understand

One way is this:

Assign a reserved IP address for each camera in your router.

Connect the camera to the POE-Switch.

Connect a single POE-Switch port to your LAN.

Connect the NVR LAN port to your LAN.

Configure each camera to use DHCP.

Manually add each camera in the NVR using the reserved IP address.

 

Another way is:

Have your LAN to use the DHCP address range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.199

Change the address range of the POE-Switch network to be 192.168.1.200+ (this in the menus of the NVR)

Connect a NVR-POE port to your LAN.

Connect the NVR-LAN to your LAN.

All the cameras will be plug and play and be accessible from the LAN. But you will have to see their IP address by looking at the NVRs config menus.

Agree ,but you will loose one port for camera

The same I was saying as to connect laptop to unused PoE port

set up your camera and u done

kinda the same "logic"

Yep you lose a port, if you needed it.

 

By having continual access to the cameras you can update the firmware easily plus use the additional motion detection capabilities of the cameras to save data to an external device PC/NAS. This gives you redundancy.
