Dahua & BI Setup

[Omar Mohammed]

Hi all,

I setup my BI with Dahua cameras a last year. I have just upgraded my modem/router setup, and need some help. I can view the cameras from the BI PC at home, but not from mobile or VPN from outside.

RIGHT NOW THIS IS A COMPLETE MESS!!!!!!

My setup is that my cameras are connected to a POE Managed switch, which in turn is connected to my BI PC. To keep things simple for the moment, I have the PC connected to a "secondary router", not connected to the internet in anyway just to view at home. The idea is to get rid of this secondary router completely.

Router: ASUS RT86U - OpenVPN setup
IP address of router: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server pool: 192.168.1.2 - 255
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
TP Link Switch IP: 192.168.1.107
Camera IP: 192.168.1.101 - 106
BI PC NIC1: 192.168.1.100 - No default gateway
BI PC NIC2: 192.168.70.111 - Default gateway: 192.168.70.1

As my router is DHCP enabled, there are other devices which are using some of the camera IP addresses, so would then cause an IP Conflict.

How should I start to sort this mess out??!???!?!?!

None of your NIC's appear to have the router gateway set so they can access the internet, or is 192.168.70.1 the router out to the internet?

Have you run the wizard?

Got the appropriate ports forwarded to your VPN server?

Using the right internal / external IP?

Can you view the BI machine remotely whilst on the local network?

Maybe check on the router status and figure out what devices have ip addresses in the range of the cameras. Maybe move your camera's to another block of numbers.

Where was the problem in the end, and how did you fix it?
