SOLVED[HELP] IP Cams not getting DHCP but other devices do

This is real weird, I’ve got 4 IP Cameras plugged into this cisco catalyst in Fa0/1-0/4, Gi0/1 is vlan trunk. I had this set up before and they got IP’s just fine but now it’s not working. Maybe they don’t like 10.0.0.0 networks? using PfSense as the router.
Other devices such as a laptop and desktop get a IP on vlan69 but the cameras never show up in ARP

interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport access vlan 69
 switchport mode access
!         
interface FastEthernet0/2
 switchport access vlan 69
 switchport mode access
!         
interface FastEthernet0/3
 switchport access vlan 69
 switchport mode access
!         
interface FastEthernet0/4
 switchport access vlan 69
 switchport mode access
!         

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 switchport mode trunk
!         
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 switchport access vlan 69
 switchport mode access
!         
interface Vlan1
 no ip address
 no ip route-cache
 shutdown 
!         
interface Vlan69
 no ip address
 no ip route-cache
!         

Don’t you have to add the vlan(s) to the trunk port? It’s been a while.

Add the VLAN’s to the trunk, like this

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3
 description ESXi2
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,30,40,50,60,70,80,98-100
 switchport mode trunk
!

ah yeah.

also I figured out by default the GUI says the camera is in DHCP mode but it actually is in static mode… that’s the stupidest shit i’ve ever seen, so I have to manually assign a IP to each device.
