NVR to Netgear XS716T
Can I hook a security cam NVR to my 716 directly rather than the router first? How do I avoid the NVR assigning ip addresses that may conflict with the switch assignement so I am told would happen. ...
The NV5216E-8P Amcrest NVR is what I am considering. The tech support there is less than informed but what I was told is it has to be connected to my router or I will have IP conflicts. The cameras in this model connect to the NVR then one port to router so I am told.
My current set up is ATT fiber to ONT to ATT router to Ethernet smart switch then everything plugged into that. I have a Cat6a to upstairs wireless router so that family can have wifi for iphones, etc.
I am no expert and that ethernet switch is WAY over my head and I look forward to taking classes just out of personal interest but for now would like to install a few security cameras.
It seems that what you are saying is that I could connect NVR to Ethernet switch if the NVR has DHCP and creates is own "internal" network to avoid IP conflicts with the switch.....my words as I am learning
If thats the case I could perhaps get on thier website and see if some user smarter than the tech guys I am speaking to know for sure or call back again and see if I can find someone more familiar with more complex networking.
