I am trying to setup an ip security camera network inside of my home that does NOT connect to
the internet through my home network.
The ip security camera network has both wifi and cabled cameras, connecting to a POE nvr.
I want to use an asus RT-N66U router to handle the wifi camera traffic to the nvr, and the camera’s that I can run Ethernet cable to, I want to plug directly into the POE ports of the nvr.
At some point in the future, I might want to be able to possibly forward 1 or 2 camera’s to the internet
through my home network for remote viewing when I’m away, but for now I just need to know
exactly what to do with my security camera router and how to bring the wifi cameras through
the router to the nvr properly without conficts.
In particular I want to setup up the camera router just in case I want to forward camera viewing
in the future. So I think the IP settings of the camera router are going to be important as to not
conflict with my home router for future forwarding.
So some of my wifi cameras IP addresses are as follows:
192.168.1.12
192.168.1.64
192.168.1.131
192.168.1.219
I believe my nvr’s IP address is 192.168.254.2
So how do I setup the camera router’s IP address? 192.168.2.1??? just in case my home’s router
is 192.168.1.1?
My problem is I don’t know what information they are asking for and how its related to what I’m trying
to do when I configure the camera router and then the nvr. Say for instance the nvr has a Network settings
page. What IP address are they asking for? The camera router’s LAN IP address or the WIFI address? Subnet mask? Gateway??? Primary DNS server???
And what should those be so I don’t have conflicts in the future?
I believe I should make the camera’s have static IP address’s into the camera router and nvr so they don’t keep changing?
I would like to set this second network up as clean as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
