First post and hesitant to post. I've read many replies that say to read wiki, cliff notes, etc. and I have tried to do my due diligence. I've read and read and read to the point that the even the basic stuff that used to make sense to me is starting to get confusing. But I think that due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I can't seem to pick out what I'm looking for because I don't know enough yet. I know the answer I'm looking for is already here but I just can't filter it out.
So I'm just starting into this home security stuff and picked up a couple things and trying to bench test a couple cameras as I pick up some more gear. I have two ipc-hdw5231r-ze cameras, and one poe switch. I've got blue iris installed on my (temporary solution) laptop that's got i7-8750H cpu. I've also got the config tool installed.
My issue: I have laptop connected to the switch, the switch powered up, and one camera connected to the switch. That's it at the moment. I launch the config tool and it finds the camera. I had trouble getting it initialized and am still not really sure what I did to get it done. What I don't know now is how to find the lan ip range I have available and what to change the camera ip to. At this point the camera is still 192.168.1.108 and I can't access it from blue iris or browser.
I'm sure you guys get tired of answering noob questions all the time but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
