Hi all,
I finally have a BI system up and running after being a faithful customer of LaView.
They system works fine with 10 of my existing LaView cameras (bullets and domes) with the following set up:
10 cameras ------> (connected via RJ45 to) UNMANAGED SWITCH <------- Internet feed (from router) and PC (with Blue Iris).
I used a BV-Tech POE-SW1602A switch
a) 10 cameras are connected to switch
b) Internet feed (RJ45 cable) from router connected to switch
c) PC (with Blue Iris) connected to switch
I'm still in the process of testing the system. I have learned that when I disconnected the Internet feed (from router to switch), all cameras no longer work. I would like to find a way so that the PC (with Blue Iris) can manage/run all cameras and record footages even in the case of Internet loss.
How can I fix this issue? What configuration should I do? I don't want someone comes in and simply turn the Internet off or cut the wire to shut down the whole home surveillance system. Many thanks in advance.
