Getting the hang of it
I have a lorex nvr (LNR6108) and multiple cams (LNB8005) setup recently. Upon install i connected the nvr and 1 cam to test. I changed a few settings (password, motion control, etc) and then got both tinycam pro and gDMSS working. The port for the camera at install was set at port1 and the protocol was private.
When adding the cameras to the nvr, it issues IP by DHCP and both have IPs such as 10.1.1.128 etc and the IP of the nvr is 192.168.1.180. When i connect to the apps (tinycam and gMDSS) i used the nvr ip, which worked fine for the 1 cam.
When i add my 2nd cam i cannot get this to show on either of the apps. I think its because i need to use the actual cams IP and not the nvr...but when i tried to use the cam IP i cant get either of the apps (tinycam and gMDSS) to find them.
Settings:
NVR TCP/IP: ip 192.168.1.80, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, preferred dns 8.8.8.8, alt dns 8.8.4.4, dhcp enabled.
Switch settings in nvr - I have enabled the switch in settings and it shows IP of 10.1.1.1, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 10.1.1.1.
The next thing i did was try to add both cameras again in setup, but with port 35000 and protocol opvin (which still shows as a red x not connected). The camera supports opvin, so im not sure why it wont connect on this.
Questions:
1) Is there a way i can directly connect to the camera from PC and change settings? If so how do i do this? I have read that there is more control over the cams this way.
2) How do i connect both the apps to see the cams? The internal cam IPs dont seem to work. I dont need access over internet, as when not at home i have a vpn setup and only use the internal network.
Im fairly new to this nvr / cam scene but have been reading a lot and need some advice with the above. thanks.
