NVR system Design

[gilh11 0]

Hi there

I've bought an hikvision 7116 NVR with 8 POE ports and some non POE wired ip cameras (with external power jack).

Well, I am tring to connect to cameras to the POE port unsuccessfully.

I've tried to add an adapter from POE to both ethernet and power jack, and the camera didn't started up.

I've tried to connect an external power to the camera and the data to the POE port, and the NVR didn't recognized the camera.

Is there any way to connect a regualr non-poe IP camera to the POE ports so the NVR will recognize the camera (adapters or design)?

 

When i'm connecting the camera the ethernet the NVR recognize the camera on the network and working fine, still, I wish to connect some of the cameras to POE ports.

 

I will be greatful to your help.

it may be that the NVR isn't recognising the model of the camera. this can happen- not all nvrs will recognise all ip cameras.

can you try and see if you can connect to each of the cameras from a laptop or pc being connected to your switch and then progress from there ie if your pc/laptop can see the camera then your left with the nvr issue- if yo cant even see the cameras from the pc/laptop - get this working first.
