I am trying to get my Security Camera`s back online. I have managed with 3 of them but the last 2 are proving problematic. The issue appears to be related to Port forwarding?. 3 camera`s have no issues, but using the dedicated I-P address` for the other two brings up error “Camera` not found”. The only difference would appear to be that the 2 cam`s concerned are POE and not just Cat5 Hard wired or Wi-Fi. I should note that ALL 5 worked with my previous I-P supplier (K-Com) and a T-P Link Router.
Edit:- It has been suggested to turn off "Smart Setup". But mine only shows as "restart hub"

Smart set up has been removed from BT Hubs and is no longer relevant.
I could be wrong but I think the BT Smarthub does not support POE. If I'm correct you would need to get a POE injector, cost about £15 or change the 2 cameras.
Are you trying to access the cameras remotely using their local (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) IP address? if so it wont work even if port forwarding is correctly setup, I suspected those that are working are using DDNS addresses
The only thing that comes to mind is the change in gateway address (from 192.168.1.1. to 192.168.1.254), are the two that aren't working setup with static IP and gateway?
There should be a way to reset the cameras to factory settings, try that and set them up again from scratch.
