What you have shown above is a BI pc with only one NIC. If it has two, you are not showing the connections.
That will work, but you eventually "Trusting" the cameras that they won't talk on another subnet
Odds are they won't, but I wouldn't do it myself because I'm paranoid
Thanks, but I'm not sure I follow. Can you please be more specific about your concern and how my proposed design introduces the issue?
Each cam is physically connected to the internet. Why bother with two NICs in the PC if they are not on separate wired networks?
If you physically cannot change the wiring, then replace the two POE switches with managed POE switches and set up VLANS.
Nothing is stopping any outside connection from seeing them either.
Thanks. Makes sense !Based on the example, the machine's network interface is primarily configured to use the 192.168.55.x network. The default IP address of dahua cams is 192.168.1.108. The 192.168.1.50 IP is bound to the network adapter as a secondary IP address in that step for convenience. Binding that secondary IP will allow that machine access to any new cams plugged in without having to change the machines IP scheme to 192.168.1.x, then switch it back once the new cam is configured.
OK folks, I know google is your friend and it’s great. Unfortunately, I’m at my wits end. Can someone help me into setting up my IP Adress for my NVR so I can use the 2nd NIC Card I installed.
After fiddling with one of my cameras. I can get my Camera/GUI to work/appear on my screen via NIC 2. Earlier today it took me too long to get my NVR to recognize my camera back after fiddling with the settings via NVR.
I can get Blue Iris to work in NIC_1 as long as I have the Network Feed and my NVR going through a splitter. If I put my NVR only to NIC_1, I can't reach the GUI for the NVR! I can get the NVR's GUI when I tie the network and NVR through a switch.
Below are some screen shots of my NVR, Cameras & NIC.
SORRY, I'm exhausted. I'm thinking I worked to hard today to attempt to set-up VPN via OpenVPN
Or should I start a new Post ???
