We (our company) had our Hikvision camera system installed and the installers used our network IP addresses for the cameras. They set them up using static IP's from our trusted network IP range.
Our NVR - m/n DS-9632NI-ST has two LAN ports, LAN 1 being used by the cameras, I assume, and LAN 2 used by our network for our users access.
We have 30 cameras between 3 different buildings connected via fiber to a Hikvision POE switch in each building.
POE Sw#1 connects to the NVR LAN 1; NVR LAN 2 connects to our "trusted network" for users to view the cameras.
Sw# 1 connects to Sw# 2 and Sw# 2 connects to Sw# 3.
My question is:
With LAN 2 having a static IP from our network that we connect to via the iVMS-4200 client software;
Does LAN 1 need a "trusted" LAN IP address along with all the cameras?
Can I change LAN 1 to DHCP and will it give the cameras an IP address that doesn't "need" to be a "trusted" network IP?
(assuming I'd have to delete the static IP from the cameras first)
* I'm trying to free up some IP addresses for other uses.
I hope that makes sense.
