I have around 15 wired Clients comprised of TV’s, Blu-ray players, AVR’s, etc. and a number of iTach devices used for controlling these devices with an iPhone remote control app.
In addition, I have a number of Netgear un-managed switches around the house, most in the AV racks to connect AV devices and the iTachs.
My wife and I have an assortment of iPhones, iPads, computers and electronic equipment connected via WiFi.
They all have DHCP Client IP addresses. I have wanted to change to static since power failures and other network disruptions screw up the app and render a number of the devices uncontrollable from the remote app unless I reprogram it and I’ve stopped dealing with it and just use the factory remotes usually. Dealing with that isn’t a priority though I may revisit it after getting the NVR set up.
With the ASUS DHCP server on my router handling all IP addresses for my home network, it currently has an IP Pool Starting address of 192.168.1.2 and an IP ending address of 192.168.1.254.
Should this range be modified in order to set aside a range of IP addresses available for orderly static IP assignment?
In browsing the Wiki, cliff notes and primers, one method for NVR initialization is to grab an IP address when setting up the NVR in DHCP mode and then de-selecting DHCP mode on the NVR.
Is this the recommended way to proceed?
I have 10 cameras available to install but want to get 4 or so installed to start.
Do I need to assign static IP addresses for cameras in my router or are they managed exclusively through the NVR?
My ASUS LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
I gather the Subnet mask address on the NVR must be different than the router. What should the NVR be, 255.0.0.0 ?
I will want to set up a VPN, can I get the internal system set up first and then worry about VPN?
I’m sure I will have a lot of questions but want to finally get started after purchasing everything nearly a year ago.
Thank you.
