In this example, 2 cameras are connected directly to the recorder and 2 additional cameras are connected via a PoE switch connected to the PoE port n°4 of the recorder:

NVR PoE 4 ports

|── Port 1 → Camera 1

|── Port 2 → Camera 2

|── Port 4 → Switch PoE (port Uplink/LAN)

|── Camera 3

|── Camera 4

For POE recorders, the camera network is a network isolated from the recorder network.

EXAMPLE:

• NVR LAN: 192.168.1.x
• Internal PoE network: 10.151.151.x

In this case, the switch connected to a PoE port will be dedicated to adding cameras and your 2 cameras will have to use, beforehand, static IP addresses specific to the internal network: 10.151.151.200 and 10.151.151.201 for example.

Use the GGM IP DISCOVER utility to change the IP addresses of the 2 cameras:
