New home new setup problems

Post by Dogbert »

Just moved into new home. Had to move everything from working setup of NDVR and 6 cameras. Now need refresher of steps to set up NDVR and some old and some new cameras. Have attached NDVR to new modem and set new IP for NDVR in the 192.168.1 range. So far OK. Tried adding new cameras and they all took on 10.1.1. IP addresses on the NDVR. I did not want this and in the NDVR software nowhere can I change the addresses to 192.168.1 range numbers like the NDVR. The place where I expect it to be won't let me change the IP address! I am logged in as admin in the admin group. Let's just start with this problem. Next - or maybe first - what are the steps for a brand new camera to set it up with desired IP addresses? BTW, all attempts to add devices etc with Amcrest View Pro app on my phone tells me that the devices already exist. I cannot change settings. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Ok, the Recorder sounds like POE setup and when you connect cameras to nvrs poe port the NVR hands out a 10.1.1.65 and up ip address. That is right you can not share ip range with NVRs switch unless you have 5232 type nvr with setup in bridge mode.
What need to be done under camera is click pencil and change password. If cameras are new or fresh reset then it should come up automatically.

Only cameras that will have your local ip range in nvr would be connected to router and not on NVR port.
Be Safe.
