rome 0 Posted May 7, 2015 I want to access the cameras and adjust the setting inside but they are on the Dahua built in POE ports with 10.1.1.1 and the NVR is in remote location. I don't have a laptop or pc to bring there but only an Ipad and a wifi router. Can I set the router to 10.1.1.3 and connect it to the nvr built in poe port and access the cameras in the ipad thru the router Wifi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khx73 0 Posted May 8, 2015 You can, so do it. Just make sure you choose an unused IP. Keep it simple and don't even use the WAN port on the WiFi router. Just plug one cable from the PoE ports to the LAN section of the wifi router, then connect your iPad over wifi with a static IP. This way you don't have to touch the router settings at all - just use it as a simple switch that happens to have wifi access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it's not like switch, it's camera-per-port, same thing in Hikvision PoE NVRs. Check if there is something like "virtual host", this will make cameras visible on same IP address as NVR but different port. Like NVR is 192.0.0.1, 1 IP camera will be visible as 192.0.0.1:65001 from web, but still inside NVR it will be 10.1.1.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
