Many thanks,
The cameras are two sentient mini wireless color cams (code N37CX) ( i did say bog standard) can be run on batteries or plugged in, frequency 2.4 ghz, the unit is H-264. It seems as though one cams signal is dominating the frequency, cause if i move one about, for a spit second you get two different pics but always reverts to the same pic on channel one and two. I'm 99% sure they are plugged in proper but their ain't much out there that gives you a 'clear and precise' step by step picture guide.
Not too sure about the advice for ip addresses would do much as i ain't got has far as viewing them on the web yet.
Would like to sort it out as i feel a passion coming on for this kind of stuff, but as per usual the initial problems tend to put a damper on...bit like stubbing my toe on the bed post just as the missis is giving me the all clear..
Ps will post pics of set-up if needed.
