POE symbol missing from POE cameras - Why?

Hello,

I have been using analog (CVI) both 720P and 1080P systems from Dahua for many many years now.

I just purchased a 8 camera NVR and 4 cameras for now.

It's my first time with NVR and I really really messed up the setup. Cam 1 was being used for about a month on a tp-link switch (recording on an 16 channel analog dahua XVR) before we purchased the NVR. Cam 2, 3 was purchased a week ago. Cam 4 is expected.

All 3 cams at the moment are working. But I went through hell to make them work. I can't remember what I did. Because I did everything wrong and right. I connected cam 2 & 3 on my PC pressed every change password button and every reset button.

I don't know if they worked or not. I finally have them working. But CAM 1 shows POE symbol (cam 2 was also showing it before I messed up) but cams 2 and 3 don't.

Because it's hard to post an imaage I will post the setttings I see on "Remote device".

D1 - 10.1.1.65 - Port: PORT 1 - Remote CH NO.: 1

D2 - 10.1.1.66 - Port: 37777 - Remote CH NO.: 1

D3 - 10.1.1.67 - Port: 37777 - Remote CH NO.: 1

I don't know why ports are 37777 and remote are NO1 on channels 2 and 3.

If anyone know, please help.

Thank you.
