zibnata 0 Posted March 4, 2015 I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-SE2/8P 8 Channel POE nvr. So far I have one Hikvision camera which no problem working. I have an Empire Security Cameras Model: IPC1-V 3.0 POE that is supposed to be compatible. When I have that camera hooked up through a network switch I can view it through NVR. When I hook it up through the NVR POE port I cannot get it to work. Can someone please explain in simple details on how I can get non Hikvision cameras to work through the Hikvision NVR POE ports ? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abdelm01 0 Posted March 4, 2015 After you have plugged in the camera to the NVR POE Port, do you have it set on manually or plug n play . If manually, make sure you have the right protocol selected, try onvif protocol. When the camera is plugged into the NVR, do you see lights the port lights ON. Also what FW Version do you have on the NVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zibnata 0 Posted March 4, 2015 I set it manually to the IP address of the camera, onvif. I will check the port lights and FW version tonight when I get home. Nelly security guy replied the following With that camera if you are trying to use the IP from the network simply edit one of the pre determined cameras to reflect your IP address. If you are trying to plug it into the POE then you will need to configure the IP of the camera to reflect the internal POE of the NVR. I dont understand what he means Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont understand what he means What he means is, before you plug the 3rd party camera in the NVR POE, make sure the cameras IP Address is on the same IP Scheme of the NVR POE IPs. Ex. if the other poe cameras that are in the NVR have a 192.168.254.x , make sure the 3rd party camera is 192.168.254.x , and not 192.168.1.x. (x= any IP Address, just make sure another port does not have that IP in use already). Make sure you go into the camera first and change its IP Address before you plug it into the NVR Ports If you got into your NVRs Camera management under configurations, you will see the IPs of all the POE Ports.
