Are there any options to view access via the API gateway? David

Does this help?

Agreed, both methods have their pros and cons. A lot of wireless bridges are poorly installed because the installation instructions were not read or misunderstood. For wireless links the usual problem I see is a compromised LoS first fresnel zone followed by RF adjacent or co-channel problems...

If your garage uses the same electrical distribution panel as your house try a powerline adapter first. I’ve used these around the house between NVR and cameras with no problems. 40m to the garage will reduce throughput. Sometimes wireless bridges can add latency to networks if not planned...

I did wonder if there was a "box". David

@tuil. following on from my earlier post. this will only work for 10/100Mbps. Gigabit ethernet uses all 4 pairs. For poe mode A I still think this should work but is non standard so you may get problems with the pre poe power on checks especially the resistance check phase and power...

I’ve done temporary fixes to carry 2 separate Ethernet ports over 1 cat5e cable and that works never with poe. What do you mean by mode A? As long as poe uses pairs 1,2 and 3,6 and the connectors are wired correctly it should work. Maybe the poe protocol checks for the other pairs before...

it is ok to publish the IPv4 address of the NVR, could you post a screenshot of the router network setup and NVR camera management page? leave NVR DHCP as it is for now, did you say you could access the NVR and see video from the cameras? David

As everything seems to be getting its own ip address I assumed device dhcp clients were running and resolving IP etc from the AP / router DHCP server. It would be nice to know the AP and switch model numbers. David

It is not clear where your network IP addresses are coming from, I assume from the DHCP server within the AP. Check that your IPCCTV / AP network will keep the same IP addresses after a complete shutdown and switch on. On the AP, did you create any DHCP IP address reservations? David

@Wired, what about firmware updates for your cameras, NVR, etc? It’s good to plan for a network that has occasional internet connectivity. David

something to bear in mind. do you have access to the router web gui on your pc? David

looking at the router manual default web gui access is possible via ethernet or wifi, yours could be disabled. Also looks like default DHCP IP reservations are on the LAN for ethernet and wifi interfaces. double check on your router. Be very careful if you change settings, not understanding...

Router model and screenshots of the NVR's and router IP network setup would help. Are the cameras connected to the rear ports on the NVR's? David

@DASD IP addresses should be unique to devices on the same network. What model numbers are the devices involved? David
