Hi guys, I'm left by contractor kind of in the middle of a job. I'm not totaly new to networking but cant get it going. Cables are set and connected, i've checked ethernet plugs with testers. All ok.

The problem is I cannot add cameras to the recorder.

Here is the setup:

• Poe switches: Hikvision ds-xs0110-p
• Recorder: keeyo lv-nvr-16ch
• Switch: 1gbs dahua pfs3005 5gt
• cameras: HiLook ipcam b6 30dl

Box1:

• Recorder
• Switch dahua

Box2(70 meters from main box1):

• Poe switch,
• 5 cameras connected (the most distant is less than 70m)

Box3(80 meters from main box1)

• Poe switch,
• 6 cameras connected (the most distant is less than 65m)

Poe switches are uplinked to the dahua switch, dahua switch is connected to the Recorder.

Cameras IP 192.168.1.64 Recorder IP 192.168.1.xx

I think i cannot properly set the recorder butnot sure. I could really use some advice How to get this going :(

Thank You for Your help
