Ok...I'm a total newbie and I'm over my head I think. What I want to do is install 2 IP cameras and be able to view them from my PC.....sounds simple, but not for me.
I have (2) Hikvision DS2CD2032-Bullet cameras
(1) ZYXEL ES-1100-8p Switch w/4 poe ports
(1) D-Link DIR-655 router
(1) Motorola Surfboard modem
(1) PC
I can't see either camera when running the SADP software that came with the cameras. I've tried hooking things up in a different order with no luck. I can always access the internet and other devices, but I never see the cameras.
I need to start at square #1 with the correct order of how this should be wired up....I'll be connecting the PC with Ethernet cable, if I can do it wirelessly I'll figure that out later. Remember I'm taking baby steps here.
Could someone draw a crude diagram for me on how to connect this up?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
