Hikvision Camera Not Showing on Router

[Mattsellors]

I have just installed a brand new DS-2CD234G2-IU onto my LAN (its in an out building so couldn't run direct). Its connected to my Hikvision NVR all OK. I used SADP to change the IP address as it didn't pick it up originally. Its all working fine on the NVR, however its not showing up on my Sky Hub Router. Maybe I should not worry, but as it has been given a fixed IP address, it may cause an issue in the future when I reserve IP addresses for other hardware.

Thanks all

Hi @Mattsellors

What IP address did you set the camera to?
What is the IP range of your local network/Sky Hub router? (e.g. 192.168.1.xxx / 192.168.5.xxx / etc...)

Let your router manage all ip addressing use the sadp tool and enable dhcp on the camera. at the router assign the IP address to the cameras mac address.

Thanks @David and @Dan. Fixed by switching dhcp on. Wry helpful and learnt something new. Cheers
