Hikvision Cameras work on main switch, but not on remote one

I just purchased 2 more Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I 4MP HD cameras to match the one I have working already. I plugged them into my main, 24 port switch downstairs and configured each of them with unique IP addresses. I am also using injectors to power these POE. I was able to see them fine on both the SADP setup tool and in Blue Iris. Then, I moved them to another remote switch upstairs that I want to permanently attach them to. They power up fine but do not communicate with either SADP or Blue Iris. I do not understand why they work when directly connected to my main switch and not from a remote switch. I am using pre-made cables for the setup and the cameras are have roughly 75 feet of total cable length when on the remote switch. Is there anything else I can try to get these to work shy of running new lines directly to the downstairs switch?
 
can you connect your computer to the remote switch and try SADP to see if they show up then
