Hi Folks-
I installed a 16 channel Ip video surveillance system for a local client, with 8 IP cameras. It was for a large farm, having two main "Hubs", the home and the barn. I installed a ubiquity wireless bridge to connect the two "hubs", and connected the PoE switches to the main router, and the NVR is also connected to the main router. So no NVR PoE ports were used. All was well.
Not long ago I added a couple of cameras in the barn, and a second NVR. There is a total of 10 cameras, but the two NVRs are 16 channel, so it was only due to each location wanting view of a different group of cameras. The trouble started when the cameras would occasionally lose video at the main NVR. Not for long, but an irritating occasional flicker. Now it seems that the more I mess with the camera registrations, the worse it gets! This seemed like a simple project, but has proved otherwise. I would like to know if my thought process is correct here: I registered the first 8 cams on the first NVR, the additional cameras on the second. I tried initializeg the missing cameras, etc. But I think I should just set them each at the camera level with static IPS, and let the NVRs do their thing. I wounder how this aggregates to the web stream? Would it show up as 2 systems? I just want the cameras showing and recording stable. I should mention also, that the client's DSL speed is about 3 MBPS, on a good day, so there is undoubtedly some congestion issues. Thoughts?
