Thanks for your comment!

Yes, you can access the camera remotely on the app.

Yes as long as the network setting is right, I mean if you can access the internet through Cisco access point, you can hook the camera to the Cisco AP.

You can attach all your ip cameras and non-PoE NVR to that PoE switch, it will work. Just make sure you have used the PoE ports for ip cameras.

@@Fastcabling Thank You! Appreciate it

Thank you and great 😊

It is the iCSee app, but the app is property app that only works with specific ip camera. Different ip cameras could have different software. You should get the software for your supplier. Usually the mobile app is free.

@@Fastcabling Thank you for your quick answer, you're wonderful

Yes, since the IP camera shown in the video supports both PoE and DC power. You can directly connect it to the router through the RJ45 Ethernet port and power it using an external DC adapter.

The PoE injector is the power source for PoE system. The Wi-Fi router can’t inject the power to Ethernet cable.

I think the most cost effective solution is the NVR especially you have mass IP cameras in the system. You do know you can connect two NVR into network. One working as primary recording, another working as redundant recording. Otherwise you can use the microSD card on board recording.

Certainly. But ensure that your Wi-Fi network has sufficient coverage and bandwidth at the camera's location. Wi-Fi can be subject to interference and may not be as reliable as a wired connection, potentially affecting your ability to access the footage.

That won't be necessary. Pairing a camera to an app usually happens by scanning a generated QR code with the camera's lens, or by connecting to it as a wireless network on the phone. In this video, we're using the iCSee app. Some manufacturers offer end-to-end solutions, where their cameras, NVRs/DVRs, VMS software and apps are designed to work seamlessly together. It's essential to research and verify compatibility based on your specific equipment.

It depends on how the camera designed. If it relys on the cloud connection, you will be unable to access the camera without involving the cloud.

If the camera has Ethernet port, you can hook up the cable to router or switch. Technically the camera is a computer. It has IP address, and you can connect it to any network. As long as the ip address, gateway address and DNS setting is correct, it will be online.

I suppose what you possess is the wireless NVR bundle. The NVR only work with dedicated ip camera. Each camera has unique ip address, actually it has different subnet. You can’t access the cameras directly through ip address. All the video required must go through the NVR.

@@Fastcabling Thank you so much for answering my questions they are Bundled. I’m thinking I can connect the Nvr to my router and hopefully I can get the outdoor cameras to operate. They did so indoors when I tested one of them to my router create their own ip address. These are wireless cameras once I connect the NVR to my router I should be able to connect the cameras using my wi-Fi, correct? Again thank you. I’m not a tech Just a girl trying to learn not to pay someone. Thank you again for being patient

I think you will need to verify that camera is still working properly. You can power up the camera and listen very closely. The camera suppose to make two small clicks sounds during the boot-up. If you still can hear the click sounds, then the camera boots up successfully. Otherwise the camera is defective. Then you can attach the camera to your router and use XMEye to discover the camera in the same network. The ip camera works standalone. It never needs the NVR to keep it running. The XMEye will discover your ip camera and show it in the list even the ip address is incorrect. You can’t access the camera if the ip subnet is incorrect, but you should see the information of that camera.

Thank you for your response. These are my last statements. I'm aware of the clicks so thank you. All four cameras have been install outdoors in 4 different places. 3/4 cameras loaded and video. The 4th cameras starts loading but can't seem to produce images of its locations. Initially none of the camera load, so I plugged the NVR into my router. Immediately my phone showed 4cameras and I assumed ip addresses. Cameras are showing images except one and this is issue. Since the 4th camera is trying to load, it's active but not videoing an image. These cameras are xmeye. The cameras is label WIFI. Tried to connect cameras using my WIFI, no luck. The 4th camera loads so it is not defective . 2 installations in the attic monitor left side of house(2cameras) two installation right side (courtyard and carport is the issue) in outside room away from the main house where the router is located. If any advise you can share will be appreciate. My electrician installed the cameras. Have a placed day and thanks.

If your camera support P2P connection which has the cloud server will assist the VMS software to make the connection. You just need the cloud ID to access the camera from another location. Otherwise, you might go for the old way, you can port forwarding the camera's TCP port on your router, I assume you have a public accessible IP address.

The IP camera can be accessed over the internet, allowing you to view the live feed from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.

@@FastcablingThanks for the info

You're welcome!

To view your Hikvision IP camera in your iPhone, you will need to download the "Hik-Connect" app from the App Store. The Hik-connect app is designed to work with Hikvision series DVRs, NVRs and IP cameras which support Cloud P2P function. It allows you to live view your cameras remotely.

The camera can be connected to the router via wired or wireless connections. Once connected, you can view the camera on smartphones, tablets and PCs.

The WiFi camera will automatically obtain IP address (DHCP) from your router. After the mobile app connects to the same router, it can use broadcasting message to discover the IP camera.

@@Fastcabling Thank you for the quick reply. However, It is not a WiFi camera. It is a Reolink POE IP camera. I have it connected to a macbook through a POE switch. There is no router.

​@@auditocanarsie7355 What if u use an ip scanner on your laptop ?

Just make sure the IP camera and your smartphone connected to the same network (router).

@@Fastcabling Thank you for your tip and info.

My pleasure.

Some IP cameras come with cloud services, which allow the user to use the camera’s mobile app or web portal to access the camera feed from anywhere. This method is often the simplest and most user-friendly but may require a subscription fee.

I'm using iCSee for my setup, but keep in mind that the mobile app can vary depending on your vendor since it's connected to cloud servers. Make sure to grab the app from your specific vendor for compatibility! 👍

It is the DC12V power adapter. You don't need BNC connector. It is the IP based camera, not analog camera.

so your camera doesn't have the bnc connector on the end mine does and dont know what to buy to convert it to go to my pc or tv I just got one camera wanted to hook up

Yes, this setup can provide centralized storage and management of video footage from multiple cameras on the network. However, it is important to ensure that the NAS or server has enough storage capacity and processing power to handle the amount of video being recorded. Additionally, proper network bandwidth and security measures should be in place to ensure reliable and secure transmission of video data.

Download a mobile app that is compatible with your camera and follow the instructions to connect it to your network. You should now be able to view the camera's live feed and recordings from your mobile phone. Make sure to set up notifications and alerts as needed to stay informed about any activity.

It's the iCSEE app.

We used the iCSee app for that demonstration. It's indeed a proprietary app designed to work with specific IP cameras.

It depends on providers of your camera. Most of the cloud storage service is subscribed based. You might need to pay for the cloud services. The micro SD card on board storage is cost effective solution without subscription required.

Some routers come with USB ports and support for USB storage devices, allowing you to share files across the network or use the connected storage for various applications, including as a simple Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. While technically feasible, this setup might not be as straightforward or reliable as using a dedicated NVR or DVR designed for handling video surveillance data. These devices are optimized for video storage, offering features like easy camera management, motion detection recording, scheduled recording, and more.

@@Fastcabling Thanks for fast reply. so, it's possible but not feasible, Can you make content on it? thanks.

We'll definitely take that into consideration 😊

If you don't want to run cables, your cameras must be connected to a network via WiFi. Still, you need the Internet. The smart TV must be connected to the same WiFi network created by your router, or connected via Ethernet cable to another LAN port on the router.

It's iCSee app.

It's an iCSee app.

It is iCSee. However the mobile app is vendors specific as the app is related to cloud servers. You might need to get the app from your vendor.

How can I get the name of the camera

No all the IP cameras have LAN port especially the WiFi camera. In this case, you only can use the WiFi connectivity.

Got a smonet sm-w1296p from a Amazon return box store but now research that cam says you need dvr I tried the icsee app but no luck any other options the cam puts out a wifi signal but I don't know password. It has a Lan cable but on router option page only shows mac address

In this video, we use the iCSee app. However, some cameras are vendor-specific and come with a dedicated app.
