So I posted this on a members thread another post on the forum but thought I might get a quicker response here.
"So I'm new to all this, and im definitely not an IT guy, but are you guys saying I have to purchase static ip's to be able to run my security cams?
I was thinking my setup would go like this:
Asus rt88ac to a netgear16 port poe+ switch, a synology ds918+ nas running their surveillance station software to act as the DVR plugged into the switch along with my 3 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cams and a IPC-HDBW4231F-AS cam.
I have an OpenVPN vpn client. Not sure if I should run that thru the nas or the router as both can be set up to run openvpn and I'm hardworking all my other connections.
I was planning on setting up a ddns so that way I could remotely login and view my surveillance feed in the nas.
The more I get into this the more i get confused."
Does anyone have any suggestions for my setup? Now take into account that I've already purchased all the equipment above so I need to make it all run cohesively.
Any help would be appreciated
