Ports not lighting up for 2 out of 3 Hikvision cameras

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I just got 3 Hikvision cameras installed using cat6 RJ45 cables off Amazon. The 75 ft cable works fine. I plugged the Hikvision camera into port #1 on the Hikvision NVR, and it came up after a short time. I've had 2 more Hikvision cameras plugged into the NVR with 50 ft and 100 ft cables, but these two cameras aren't showing up. I tried them in ports 2, 3, and 4, but only port #1 is lighting up. I haven't connected my NVR to a computer or my network or anything. I am planning on using it as an off-line DVR. The settings are on "Plug-and-play" since everything is the same brand, and that's what the manual recommends.

 

Any ideas? What are the odds that I have two bad cables?

 

Thanks.

It's unclear so I'll ask whether you've tried all the cameras in port 1 ? Plus, have you tried the known working cable on all 3 cameras in port 1.
