Ok I have a machine running Blue Iris
I have a TP Link TL-SF1008P 8 port PoE switch
I have a Dahua DH-IPC-HFW1320S
I researched on these forums building this setup to start with.
I hooked everything up to test the system. PC -> Switch with Cat5 non PoE port. Switch -> Cam with cat5 PoE port. The switch shows lights for the cam connected. When I go into BI, I cannot find the cam via discovery. SO i must be doing something wrong. In working with networks and IP devices I have always been able to manage the devices and see their IPs. I am not familiar with this unmanaged TP Link switch. So I need to find out the IP of the cam first and not discover it? I feel like this shouldn't be that hard.:sad:
