Hi Wittaj...I just wanted to report back and thank you so much for your help...I have reconfigured three system configurations as you described, and the results were fantastic. I saw about a 75% reduction in network congestion, and it made these network act, well, like they didn't have the...

I have never even heard of that! Thank you so much for your help!

So set each Camera s Gateway IP to be the same as their Static IP?

I guess I was looking at it this way...none of the cameras are plugged into the PoE ports of the NVRs, they are plugged into PoE switches and connected to the network, just like the NVRs, and so getting their IP addresses from the ISP router, and all in the same IP range...so from a security as...

Yes...I can do that...there aren't many inputs, but essentially that is like separating the modem from the router, so to speak...that makes sense. I have a couple (hopefully final) questions: first, what you described takes the load off of the router, but is there a way of separating the main...

If I unplug the MAIN NVR from the router (which, to make sure we're speaking of the same thing, it's the modem/router from the ISP), we will see no cameras on that NVR, but we still would see cameras on the remote NVR (although my initial problem was that cameras added later, along with the...

That certainly makes sense. but all cameras (and the remote NVR) are going through unmanaged switches until they end up as one line going into the ISP's modem/router along with the Main NVR. I don't quite understand how adding another unmanaged switch in the chain would change to congestion at...

Good point, and would make sense of why it worked fine for so long, then didn't. What I don't understand though is how installing a switch that would have one input and one output to the router would help. Replacing the router? I could see that...this is an Arris modem/router however, and came...

I thought that static IP's would be better, even if there weren't actual IP conflicts, it would take the load off the DHCP server and have to increase performance, even if only theoretically. But as to congestion to the main router...everything ultimately is funneled through that, so I am not...

Hi Folks- I installed a 16 channel Ip video surveillance system for a local client, with 8 IP cameras. It was for a large farm, having two main "Hubs", the home and the barn. I installed a ubiquity wireless bridge to connect the two "hubs", and connected the PoE switches to the main router, and...

Hi Folks...my name is Kurt, and I have a technology company that produces digital media, websites, etc. as well as hardware, PC sales, networking...and of course video surveillance installs. I am hoping to tap into the collective brain here, and offer any knowledge I may have as well. Thanks for...
