Hey Andy, I had to switch out my network router and all of my IPs on the cameras of course need to be changed. I was able to get to my NVR because of course it has a keyboard, mouse and monitor but I can't remember how to get to my cameras. Do
I have to log into them with a hardwire directly to a laptop? Sorry, Its been about 4 years since I have set this thing up.

Thanks
 
Why not just change your router to the IP address of the previous router and it fixes everything?

Are your cameras connected to the POE ports of the NVR? If so, the NVR already isolated and gave the cameras their own IP that won't need to be changed when routers are changed.

Because it was behind a subnet and now it's not. No, the cameras are not connected directly to the NVR. They go through a separate POE switch. My guess is, I set them up as static and not DHCP so each has to be changed individually.

So no way to recreate the prior IP topology?

If not, then yeah you will need to connect a computer on the same IP subnet as the cameras to the POE switch or another switch connected to the cameras and open a browser (preferably Internet Explorer) and log into each camera and change their IP to the new IP subnet.

Okay, got it. I was hoping you could do it through the NVR but no luck. I imagine if I was actually connected directly to the NVR then maybe. I got it switched over.

Thanks
