I have 6 PoE cameras connected to my NVR. They were all working prior to the last firmware update. I now only see 5 cameras and when I try to add another camera by clicking on the "+" on the "IP Camera" tab a message pops up which says "POE channels limit exceeded. Unable to add camera".

What is this about?

The NVR's PoE switch mode is set to auto so it would not let you manually add the camera. In this case, unplug the camera then plug it back in should re-add the camera automatically.

Has anyone resolved this? I have just tried to add a 6th camera and received this error. I also connected the new camera through a POE injector (thinking there was a limit on POE current on the DVR) but the same thing occurs.
