Man, you did good Looney2ns! That makes sense even to my old brain. Thanks a bunch for the info. You guys are great here at the forum.

I want to install a couple of POE cams in the near future. But don't have some of the details how to do it, thus I have been reading on the forums and asking a couple of people about what I need and how to set the wiring up. Remember I am a senior-senior and what is simple to most of you isn't...

Thanks for your time and reply Nayr. I don't record video just stream it to my pc and image view it from my iphone a little. View it live when I am on my pc. I looked on my ethernet broadband data usage and on this computer it showed I had used 935 Gb of date in 30 days just on this ethernet pc...

This will seem like a dumb question Nayr, but that is the way I learn stuff sometimes...ask, even as old as I am. If you run your cameras on wires will it increase your monthly ISP Gb data? I'm on AT&T DSL. They keep raising my internet rate trying to push me to uVerse a little cheaper and a...

Thank you very much for your advice and all of the trouble Looney2ns. I will check out the Dahuas.

Looney2ns Yesterday I watched by RA as a real IP camera geek turned my el-cheapo IP cam upside down, sideways, and round and round trying to get it to display video. I mean he worked long and hard and didn’t want to give up even when the RA time expired. When the updated firmware didn’t work...

Randy... Went there, opened it, but it isn't showing but a max of 5 IP's. I kept clicking on "Refreseh" and some of them would change, but 5 is the max that will display. I am attaching a screen 2 screen shots (108 is the Foscam that will not boot to video live). Also am attaching a wifi scan...

All of you guys are great helping an old codger learn stuff and stay busy. I have two places where I want to add more cams and they are not close to power...why I was thinking about options. Thanks for instilling patience in my mind which sometimes races ninety to nothing.

RandyTsuch, The DHCP Client Table is "Inactive;" clicking on it does nothing. IP address in that box is for the static set .../..././104 camera that the amcrest tech set up for me. The only options I have there are clicking "Disable" DMZ, maybe clicking on the 104 camera's MAC address. I right...

Randy, Thank you so much for (all of you) taking all the time to help me. But I think this time your reply was out of my comprehension range. I don't have a clue about what your technical description means. I know you tried your best to make it easy for me to understand, perhaps I am too old or...

I am in rural west Alabama, looney2ns. It is home to about 1500 souls.

My router is old...a Linksys E2000. On the Setup page Automatic Configuration - DHCP is selected, and under server DHCP Server is enabled. I have looked upside down and sideways but my router doesn't list the devices. But in the Foscam IP config DHCP is unchecked in network configuration. I...

Randytsuch, Both the Foscam and Amcrest IP Config Tools list the IP addresses. No I do not see any of them trying to use the same IP number. I know how to get into my router but don't know where to look for the devices...what tab description would they be listed under. And I told you that I ran...

Thank you guys so much for sharing your knowledge and advice. I assume you all can see my response and actions/results to your suggestions below. So I disconnected the power from all of the amcrest cameras. Waited about ten minutes. Next I plugged in the power of one of the Foscam cams...

Thank you Fastb for your kind reply. As above in my earlier posts, I had 4 Foscams (model nos. F18905W and F18906W) all performing well (to my eyes) on my wifi (Foscam IP Config tool) and showing IP addresses (Having superb color, clarity, and all of the video bells and whistles are not a...

Hi Dodutils, Thanks for replying. It appears that everyone knows how to do the above but me. According to reading the majority of forum members it is a low class Foscam F18905W. Like I have three of them. I should update you on some of the things I have tired getting them to run. It is long...so...

I am a senior-senior, but can still pull cables, and have read a number of posts here mentioning wiring cameras to hard-wire. Well I would like to try to install a camera by POE. But I know nothing about how to do it and searched the internet and haven't found too much about the instructions. I...

Thank you looney2ns, You are most kind to an old geezer who still has the desire to learn...although the speed and comprehension is most restricted.

Thank you sir from an old geezer! Can you tell me how to delete the .jpg uploads that I made please?

I think I should delete the three .jpegs I uploaded. How do I do that? And how do you private message?

Another .jpg of what Foscam looks like when I try to add camera 120 Doducktils: Absolutely I am using IE nver Edge. However with the Foscam camera software, when you double click on the ISP that you want to open/configure to wi-fi from the ip config tool, you get an option of "Active X"...

naya, I don't know if Foscam has a camera limit. The most cameras I ever ran at one time was 4. I am attaching two .jpgs to show Doductils what the Foscam config tool looks like with the camera ip 120 powered up and ethernet connected and showing on the Foscam ip tool. Then after 2-3 minutes...

Doductils: As you said, "The thing is that wifi or not wifi this do not exlain why you can't see/connect your old cameras again when you turn off the new ones." I thought that not seeing and connecting the old Foscam was related to the "ActionX" add-on that is required for the Foscam. So I...

I will reply back to you later this afternoon...have a doctor's appointment. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me and I want to discuss your above analogy. I like it and it makes more sense to me.

Thanks again for your input nayr. I usually don't have but two, sometimes three of my IP cams open. At present I can open and view all three of the Amcrest IP cams and (the only one left showing in the Foscam config tool). I was running a max of 4 Foscams when all I had was the Foscams, and...

Thanks for your reply NAYR. Yes the Amcrest cameras are all higher resolution. Less bandwidth with more devices running seems to be plausible in my old head. So please tell me how some people run 8-10 IP-Wi-fi cameras. Do they use another router somehow or an extender, or maybe the cameras are...

Hi, Dodutils, and thanks for your reply. I am not certain about the software. I always used the Foscam IP Config Tool and related software to connect the Foscam cameras. I am not certain what dynamic and static mean, but I think my cameras are dynamic as the IP addresses sometime change. Yes...

I have had 4 Foscam IP wi-fi cameras streaming wi-fi on my desktop for nearly 3 years. Thought they were getting close to burning out on me, so I started replacing them with Foscam's competitor/partner? Amcrest. Amcrest has a different IP Config Tool, and I noticed that when I would buy and...
