cameras occupy the 8 network resources from CH1 to CH8 and 4 PoE resources from CH9 to CH12 which otherwise would have been occupied by
connecting the IP cameras directly. In this situation, if you directly connect one IP camera to PoE5, PoE6, PoE7 or PoE8, the IP camera will be displayed
in the camera list automatically; if you connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, it won't be displayed in the camera list and will show a resource
conflict; if you need to connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, you should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and then
reconnect your camera to the PoE port.
⚫ Take an 8 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as another example. The resource distribution of the 8 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below and the
addition rules of the IP cameras are similar to the rules mentioned above. Please refer to above for details.
b. Please make sure that the internal Ethernet port and an IP camera which directly connects to a PoE port through the ONVIF protocol are in the
same network segment, or you will fail to add the camera.
Log into the IP camera's Web client and then enable DHCP (to obtain an IP address automatically); or manually change the IP address of the IP
camera to put it in the same network segment as the internal Ethernet port.
c. Check whether the number IP cameras exceeds the maximum allowed.
If the number of IP cameras exceeds the maximum allowed, the system will alert you that the IP camera count is exceeds the limit.
Q7. Why do I have no image output on an IP camera directly connected to the PoE port of my NVR using the ONVIF protocol, even though it's
