I am having difficulty getting a stand-alone system to operate the way I would like it too until I can get a wireless connection established. I am replacing a crude stand-alone system that used a Lorex DVR and 3 cameras mounted on a pole with power. System has operated for 2 years and done well for what it was, but time to evolve. Existing system didn't have a monitor or mouse... just cameras and recorder. When needed, it could be connected to with a portable monitor and wireless mouse and if needed video could be copied to USB stick and taken for evidence and future use. The diagram on the top of the illustration is the "end game" with the part with the fire department and police department with 4 camera each already installed and operating. What I need help in is getting a "local system" (on a telephone pole) going that we could pull up to and wirelessly connect to (with either a tablet or computer) and view recording or copy as needed until we can get the wireless link going back to the City Hall building. I understand that Hik-Connect can't do it because there is no internet available and it is a cloud based app that will not operate without internet connection. I have tried to connect the recorder to a wireless router, sign onto the router with a computer via wifi but can't get a stable connection that works as a web base connection. Need some guidance on what I am missing and how to do this so that I can buy time to eventually remove the recorder and stream the cameras directly back to the 7616 recorder where they will be recorded. I am over my head, network wise, and hope there is someone who can point me in the right direction... other than choose another career.
