HikVision Access IP Cameras on on second network port.

[gedster314 0]

Hello,

 

I have a HikVision DS-9016HQHI-SH that has 2 network ports. Network Port 1 is the office network (10.x.x.x) and Network port 2 is the IP camera network (192.x.x.x). I installed 6 additional Hikvision IP cameras. When I put my laptop on the 192 network switch, I have no issue accessing my cameras. I try to add the cameras to the DVR/NVR, it can't find them. I did setup both network ports with appropriate ip address for their network.

 

Any ideas, I would rather not put the IP cameras on the office network? I have a 4 channel encoder on the office network that I was able to ad ip cameras from. I can't imagine wanting cameras on a different network would be overlooked by hikvision.

 

Thanks

Try switching the Lan 1 and 2 around ?

 

Network Port 1 to the Camera, using 192.x.x.x

Network Port 2 to the Office Network, using 10.x.x.x

 

Most likely Network Port 1 is the LAN (where the NVR is also a DHCP server).

Network Port 2 is the WAn.

 

Cameras on a different network is supported. However, the NVR discovery routine would only look for camera on it's LAN network.

You'll have to add in the Camera's setting manually to the NVR for those located outside the LAN.
