Just installed a Starlink system. I have three hardwired ethernet circuits, so I added the GS105 switch. I also have a Defender HD camera system that requires a static IP address. My question is, how do I add a static IP address to this unit, if possible?
Everything else work fine except im having trouble getting the camera system to get the static IP address...
Not sure what you need a static IP address for. I know you can set static IP addresses on Cameras them selves. Are you referring to a static IP address that is set ON devices or a IP address reservation that are configured on a network router?
Well, the camera system I have has its own server/storage device that has an ethernet connection. In its setup it says it needs to be setup to a static IP address for its connection. I had it setup before on a hughesnet system, although it did not work well.
The cameras themselves only talk back to their own server and then its ethernet cable connects to my Netgear router.
The static IP would be for the camera or recorder system - on the LAN - only.
This could be done (ideally) by reserving the MAC<->IP pair on your router DHCP server, worst "hard-core" approach would be to set a LAN IP config of your camera system manually, matching the LAN config of the router.
Said that: Not a question for Netgear - more one for Starlink and/or whatever other hopefully better router you have integrated to your Starlink Ethernet port.
