WNCE2001 pass through IP address
I'm using a Netgear WNCE2001 to connect a NAS drive to my wireless network (Netgear R7000). Everything appeared to be working fine - I can access the drives contents on windows/network explorer and ...
The LNC-200 series manual is here. The LNC-216 manual is here. I could only find details about recording to a NAS for the LNC-216 (page 174). It appears that you have to set up Windows folder sharing on the NAS. You would, then, enter the name of the folder into the camera settings along with the IP address, username and password to access the NAS.
As to the LNC-200, it doesn't look like it can record directly to a NAS. What you could do, however, is run the L-View software on a PC/Mac. Then have the PC/Mac record to the NAS as a network-mapped Windows drive.
Thanks Ether: The LNC-200, LNC-204 and LNC-214 are all the same camera. They all connect and record to my NAS when I have it wired to the router. The only option for recording to the NAS is to provide the IP address. There's nowhere in the setup routine to add a folder. The software in the cameras automatically sets up a LOREX subfolder in the PUBLC folder of the NAS once it can connect to it.
But let me look at the reference manual once more to see if I am missing anything.
Thanksagain for your help.
If your cameras can connect and record to your NAS, then doesn't that mean it's working? What is the problem?
Sorry, should have been clearer. I have 2 NAS machines - one on a wired network (the one that works) and one on a wireless network (which wasn't working). I found another internal IP address for the one that is connected behind the WNCE2001 and used that IP address and I can now access it. So I have both the WNCE2001 and the MyCloud Mirror MAC and IP addressed reserved now (equivalent of a static IP) so that when we get a power cut, the router will keep the IP addresses registered in the cameras.
Fingers crossed, and thanks for you help and support!
Glad you got it working!
