bass1176 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Wondering if theres a solution to this. We need 1 IP camera to send footage offsite, problem is the router is too far and all we have is wireless internet to that room. So wondering if theres a none wireless solution to connect an Ethernet IP camera to the PC directly without a router, and allow for NAS and remote viewing. Not sure if creating an Adhoc from the machine would make this possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted May 5, 2013 If you have a PC in the area that is on the network you can use a small switch to get a extra network port to plug the camera into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheetokhan 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Years ago, I set up a PC like you are describing. It had a WiFi network connection to the internet (router) and I set up its Ethernet port to bridge to the wireless network. So I know it can be done, but that was way back in Windows 98. I believe the option in Windows was called ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Try doing a search on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bass1176 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Yes cheet, using crossover cables rather then straight cable. Just was hopping someoen tried this in the past using cameras, to give feedback on the ip given and how to access it externally if even possible. Thewireguy- That pc in that room is connected wireless, no ethernet cable coming in. Hope someone played with such setup. I just basically want to plug the cam to the machines Ethernet port and have external access. Pc has internet 24/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
