    Set network configuration of multiple IP cameras of different manufacturers

    Suppose I have 20 cameras of different manufacturers. Maybe some of them will start with a fixed IP address, maybe some other will try to get network configuration from a DHCP server and, if failed, will start with another fixed IP address. I know I could connect one camera at a time to a PC...

    Can't find settings for VLAN on my Dahua Cameras

    Today I realized there is no setting for VLAN ID on my Dahua Cameras. I guess I will have to use an untagged port on my switch then. Also there is no dual IP stack.

Recorded playback seems to be smooth and so does live view on mobile devices. The DH-SD49225T IP PTZ...
