    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Dropping in to update. I've got the system working. I honestly still don't understand (technically) how the wifi camera is talking to the NVR through the AP but it is. I'll accept magic as the answer for now until it breaks and I have to troubleshoot it. :) Thank y'all so damn much for the help.

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Gotcha that does make sense, now I just need to get the camera and figure out how to get the router linked with the WiFi camera itself. Thank you!

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    These are things I haven't considered because I didn't know they were options. As for a nano station... Do you have an example? I could build an enclosure. The power lines running there power many other items as well. Would that cause interference?

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Gotcha. I certainly would prefer wired but the location is 70' away, it is covered but in a pretty extreme exposure environment open to wind, rain, and saltwater air. It used to be wired but has proven incredibly difficult to maintain wires to the location due to the water table, underground...

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    I haven't bought a camera yet because I want to make sure it and the system will work together first. I guess I'm still unsure how this should work. Are you saying that the Netgear can act as the wireless access point to receive the signal, and then I can run a cable out of the Netgear to the...

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Ok gotcha. I should be able to log into the camera and point it to the Netgear then. Is running the Netgear in AP mode what I need to do? God I feel like a kindergartner here lol Thank you for all the help this far, btw

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Ok, so I'm not just dreaming here. That's helpful to know. I don't mind buying more equipment (within reason) but was hoping to use what's on hand. Is there something specific I need to look for in a wireless camera? I'm hoping that when I power it up it'll be easy to link to the Netgear but I...

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    I doubt it will take anything outside of that. I was aiming to run to one of the 8 ports from the Netgear. Is there a way to setup the Netgear to receive the wireless signal from a WiFi camera and pass it to the NVR via copper?

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    #3 is a cheap brotrends ac1200. It's running to a cheap 5port gigabit switch. #3 is delivering internet to the NVR from an ISP provided router/modem from 2nd floor. This is my parents house so I am trying to get their camera system back to 100% because they are old and crime is really picking...

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    Yes, they're directly next to one another. In trying to sort this out I currently have the Netgear running as an access point off the bridge.

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    I think my verbiage is incorrect here. I need to use the netgear r6400 as a receiver for the wifi camera. Can this be done so that I can pull the wifi signal from the camera and deliver it via cat 5 to the NVR?

    NVR with 2 wireless bridges? Is it possible?

    The title may not adequately explain what I'm trying to do. I'm not the best with networking. I have an NVR (amcrest nv2108e) without wifi. This is in a location without access to a hard line from the router. I have it running on a small wireless bridge for remote viewing. This works fine. I am...

    Dahua N45EM63 IVS stopped working

    I will definitely keep that in mind. The system tends to need a reboot or two after we lose power or the internet goes down (which is all the damn time these days), so that makes sense.

    Dahua N45EM63 IVS stopped working

    Update: The NVR suddenly wouldnt pull down the config for camera 2, briefly. I tried again and it succeeded. As per above info I updated the codec to h.265 for both cameras, through the camera web interface. This immediately updated in the NVR and I was able to pull down the config for both...
