    I understand adding a second router to my network would create problems. I learned that in the crash networking course someone in this thread started me on(quite the rabbit hole adventure). However my goal here was to create a entirely independent WiFi network without access to my existing WiFi...

    Yeah like Looney said someone had me take an entire crash course in networking and I had try to tinker with everything I could as much as possible. I let Looney in too look around via team viewer and after a good 2 hours he asked if one of the other WiFi networks was mine. The second I tried to...

    After quite a while of trouble shooting the settings for the camera with Looney he had me try a different router in my house and of course the cameras link light fired right on proving it was my spare router not playing nice. Eggs I looked at pinhole cameras like the ones that appear to be apple...

    I'm positive it's a spare router the only other item on the WiFi is the computer thats running blue iris. No internet access nothing else connected. I've restarted a few times as a just maybe. It also restarted a few times when changing the settings. At least twice today. Idk if it matters but I...

    Ten minutes later and although at one point the camera alarm led flashed red it never shows on the network or seems to be doing anything. I can feel that I'm missing something and it's increasingly frustrating.

    Still having a major issue. Have set up static ip's with each camera gave them my routers IP as the gate way and changed the subnet mask to the correct info. However once the cameras are unplugged they still won't make any attempt to connect via WiFi. I feel like I'm so close and missing just a...

    Thanks I downloaded these and will read thru however I'm so close I feel like I'm just missing a setting cause right now every thing works but wifi. I've been looking thru the browser settings for what I'm missing but being in the south east the snow really bump my plans to low priority

    Alright so static IP's given. Now you said I would need to set them up for the wifi is that via blue iris or another program all together

    Yeah I would love taking a class. My understanding of what your saying is limited to going to my router and disabling DHCP so the address they have won't change. I've found their address in both the SADP tool and my router settings. Sorry for the newbie questions

    So I went to the hikvision sadp tool and it sees both cameras. Has a modify network parameters in batch message. What's a good static IP to assign any benefits to certain Numbers?

    So I'm back. I have two of the annke cameras and blue Iris installed however I can't seem to figure out how to make blue iris find the cameras. The app that annke makes will only work with internet access and wants an email and such. Any of you guys can help?

    So I'm gonna say thanks to reddn again. I am very aware that at my current budget I'll be running mostly janky cameras. I realized that when I decided to go the build my own PC for an NVR option.

    That's tad bit more into networking then my knowledge runs. My hopes were that I could setup a spare wifi router with no web access. Run all the cameras via that wifi. That way my 13 devices(Google home, 2 Google minis, 2 chromecasts, 2 laptops and phones, a tablet and a few home automation...

    Thanks I skimmed the ready and will have to take a longer read at it tomorrow. As far as the cpu I know however the newest generations of these 7th gen Pentiums have hyper threading and may actually keep up pretty well. I do plan however to grab an i7 7700k for my gaming rig and put its i5 in...
