Dahua 5442 cant see it

[Doc777]

Lost power and now can’t see half my cameras. Lorex NVR Wi-Fi doorbell needs to be put on 192.168.0.1. But the NVR keeps assigning everything on the 10.1.1 network. Using the Dahua config app I can’t see anything. Going to do a hard reset on the 5442 and add a netgear GS105P switch again. Last time it crashed my system assigning double IP addresses.
8 Lorax cameras directly into NVR, 2 Dahua plugged into switch then into router. Hope this works as I spent 20 hours already. ChatGPT said it will cause a loop and crash the system but not really believing AI much.

Sounds like maybe the cams reset to default IP and are now in conflict city, or as you said your system assigned same IPs.

I generally like using "reserved" DHCP addresses for my cameras, but this is a situation where maybe setting a static IP address for each of the cameras would make for a more stable system over the long term.

90% up and running. There was an IP conflict. Bypassed the switch as it did nothing for me
