    One of my wireless cameras keeps changing its IP address, what to do?

    I keep losing the video on this camera. The next thing I see is at the device list on iVMS-4200, the one added to the client is not connect, and there's a new one detected at the bottom. When I add the new one, it's usually problematic. Any idea how I can make it not change?

    How do I set up port forward for the cameras on router ARRIS TG1672-G?

    This router is so different from the Verizon. On VZ I could see that port 8000 forwarded to 4xxxx, etc, but there is no display whatsoever on ARRIS. Then there is 'add server', 'port trigger', with repeating the same in and out ports. Please help.
