Wanted to circle back to folks here just in case this might help someone else. To recap: I'm installing two cameras on my network. I have an ASUS router running the ASUS software I'm using a commercial VPN for my OUTGOING internet traffic I needed to set up DDNS and a VPN for my INCOMING...

Apologies for the delay responding here. Holidays. I suspect you're right @SouthernYankee . I've reached out to the VPN to see if they can confirm/deny and then I'll work on figuring out from there. I know I need to mask these cameras from the interwebs, but I'm not willing to expose my...

@SouthernYankee Thanks so much for your help. I figured out what the problem was and now should be able to set up a DDNS. I can't see any way to use this one from ipcamtalk (the ddl doesn't show an option that doesn't seem to require a third party authentication). So I was trying to use the...

Internet provider: Spectrum (formerly Charter) Do you mean the WAN IP? If so, it's 10.0.x.x I'm having trouble getting into the Arris router. The standard IP address doesn't display the admin page (it times out). I set this up 4 years ago, so I honestly don't remember what I did. I own this...

I went to the DDNS page to set that up. I got the following warning: After some poking about, I think this might be down to the following ... my incoming internet comes through an Arris Surfboard SB6141 modem and then goes to the Asus. Does it make sense that the modem is assigning an IP to...

Yes, I do know the difference (but it is always good to check so I appreciate it). I tried setting up OpenVPN for the inbound traffic and failed (likely user error). My home internet provider is a cable service (I only get internet from them). So not a cellular network. I'll be honest and say...

I know I need to do this; just trying to sort out the how of it. Spending far more time on youtube than I'd like. Ha. My complication is that I use a VPN (ExpressVPN) on ALL traffic to/from my house. I'm finding that setting up an inbound VPN on top of this is difficult. (Or perhaps it's...

This worked. I got the web interface and was able to initialize both cameras. I've disconnected the PoE switch from the Apple directly and it's back in the router. The camera ConfigTool software recognized the cameras and now I have Surveillance Station recognizing both cameras. w00t! Now I...

Hi. I'm new here as a poster, but I've been lurking and reading and searching these forums for months. I purchased two IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras from Andy. I also purchased from Andy the 8-port PoE switch suggested by him. I've connected the camera -->switch --> router. Lights blinking away. I'm...
