Allright , so i should not use the DHCP setting on the camera , i should just use the static ip adress and just change the last letters to a range outside the routers DHCP, and this will not cause problems Even though i run router to switch to PoE switch for the cams ? I dont need to change anything other then in the cam interface menu put static ip and change the last letters - no need to add or change anything Else then that - press save and good to go ?

Most people use static address. After a power outage or a reset, you do not want the IP address of the camera to change. On some routers the range that is not used by DHCP is 200 to 254.

Or you can get it to any address on your sub net, and then just set it to static in the router. So the router does not try to assign it. Assuming the router is doing the DHCP.
