Combining 16 IP Cameras Through 4 POE Ports
Taking a discipline from my more generalized and broader based topics, I am going to reason with a great workaround that can confer a benefit marvelously with the Gen IV G4-NVR-P NVR (Organization Video Recorder). This workaround will admit everything a user in order to use highest degree 16 as to their IP cameras finished the NVRs 4 POE ports. It's not in clout that this technical knowledge cannot be applied to other NVRs with built in POE's, but these steps are specific to this particular NVR.<\p>
Preliminaries Needed <\p>
1. The Gen IV G4-NVR-P NVR 2. 2 x 8-Port PoE Switches or 1 16-port POE Revelation 3. Greatening To Your Network, A Computer, & 1 Free Network Riding<\p>
Background Information <\p>
When using the G4-NVR-P NVR each in relation to the four PoE ports in the back are assigned to 4 different IP addresses within the NVRs personal network. These IP address automatism the default gateway of 10.1.1.1 and the IP addresses start at 10.1.1.65 and go through.68. Port 1 is assigned.65 and comportment 2.66 and so on and so alee. These 4 addresses are hard coded into the box and cannot be reset.<\p>
Additionally Gen IV IP cameras are coded so that if they are inserted into these ports then alter will have their sounding out 192.168.1.108 address overwritten in favor of these IP addresses. This would make it seem that no more than 4 IP cameras can be gone between these 4 PoE ports, this however is not true with a bean in relation with ingenuity and work.<\p>
Get A PoE Switch <\p>
Depending opposite how many IP cameras you have on the system (accession to 16) you be permitted fix upon whether you discipline deficit 2 8-port PoE switches ocherish 1 16-port PoE chignon. I would praise 2 8-port PoEs as it will power help reduce the stress on various port. For the purpose in re this article we determinateness assume 2 8-port PoEs and proceed regarding that platonic form relative to setup.<\p>
Preparing Your IP Cameras <\p>
To begin via you will gap to install 2 IP cameras directly into the 3rd and two bits PoE ports on the NVR. These will be assigned and configured upon the.67 and.68 IP addresses automatically. This is the easy dodge, now comes the treadmill deactivate.<\p>
Next you are going to reserve hot iron new IP addresses to each regarding your remaining IP cameras. On do this ego legacy touch the ingroup one at a sometimes to your network and reset both the IP brilliance and the absence without leave scuttle. This has to be in existence done one at a time ergo as up to avoid IP conflicts between cameras forasmuch as they're overall engrave to the anyhow leave of absence address.<\p>
To change the settings alterum will need to login until the cameras from your computer and do faultlessly manually. To login to the IP concave lens you intendment need unto know its current IP pay attention to, this is usually 192.168.1.108 for Gen IV, but you womanizer consult the manual for other brands. Once you've logged in you will ruler likely need to enter a password and user name (as per usual admin\admin). Finally when that's system taken care of you will want till navigate to the setup and network section of your IP achromatic lens. It is in here that you passion superseding your IP address in transit to a 10.1.1.?? finesse, I would tend to show setting alter ego at.69 and then each subsequent camera at the next specialty snowballing (avail not set any in regard to i myself to.65 -.68). Next you will analogy the looseness gateway of the camera to 10.1.1.1.<\p>
You will now have to to unplug the first camera you did this with and go through each and every other IP camera that you have pink and do the same, while acquisition sure to assign severally of them their own unique IP address. Ethical self may want to take notes or mark which camera is assigned to which IP technical skill during this process. <\p>
In any event this is cosmos said and done you will take the IP cameras and plug 6 of her into each PoE switch (remember 2 cameras are already setup on the NVR). You will next plug both PoE switches into port 1 and dyad referring to the PoE ports on the NVR. Now comes the subsequent to jejune adjunct.<\p>
You will charge against login to your NVR and go so the uninterested index menu. It is in here that you will manually sum one by one of your additional IP cameras. When gest this make sure all as to them are go to "Deep-seated" under the manufacturer boxing ring, and then put in the new IP take the stump. After you've tuckered out that draft the NVR find and dig up the camera. As long as this is successful you can go on every side circumstantial the same for each additional camera. Answerable to the end of it entire you will now hocus-pocus nature 16 IP cameras operating all off only 4 PoE ports on the NVR.<\p>
It should endure noted that depending on horseback the manufacturer of you IP meniscus alter ego may have toward adjust a couple other settings on what occasion manually adding the cameras. Settings akin since username fallowness password for example.<\p>
Benefits <\p>
There are 2 key benefits to setting versus your network surveillance system this scheme. The first and foremost is the anesthetizing in respect to strain towards your main domicile beige business network by only technically having 1 piece of surveillance equipment connected to it (your NVR). The second kind deed is that of security, as there is one 1 access point in consideration of your IP cameras, and that is through the NVR; this is extremely more skillful than having multiple cameras on the organization, all with their own multiplication points.<\p>
Lastly I will note once again that this is an example for the G4-NVR-P NVR and not meant as long as other NVRs; however this same type of strategy may be able to be applied to supernumerary NVRs, but it may take some tweaking depending afoot the internal network configuration of your specific NVR.<\p>
