You still want to make sure that the camera traffic is not running through the router to get to BI.
Take the network cable coming from the computer, unplug it from the router, and plug it into the same switch that you have the cameras connected to.Hi there looney2ns. Okay, I unplugged Ethernet cable coming from the 8 port POE switch that was plugged into router. I plugged it straight into the computer running BI. All my cameras lost signal except the one that is on a single POE injector and that was still on the router. So I plugged the POE switch back into the router and took another Ethernet cable from router and plugged it into the BI computer. My cameras came back up. What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing? Thanks.
It's simple when using the Dahua IP Config Tool. Read the help in that program.this is a freq'n annoying problem. They need to fix this or set the default to using DHCP.
Nevermind I finally got it to work. Looks like I had a bad cable.I am trying to initialize using the config tool and I get the following notice
"Device in other segment cannot be initialized"
My camera is connected to an poe switch which is in turn attached to an access point.
