Integrating A Camera Network With An Existing Network?
Nov 1, 2011
Here is the scenario: A mid-sized IP based camera network (150 cameras, 1 management server, several client workstations, and several recording servers) has been implemented on a stand-alone LAN utilizing a class C configuration and is set up as a windows domain. The user now wants to add the ability for workstations on the existing class B network to connect (with client software) to the management server on camera network, network is controlled by enterprise sized domain (Think county). Access is controlled by camera system client software credentials. Here are my questions:
1) What is the best way to do this and what hardware is required? I thought about just adding a NIC to the management server but am concerned about the 2 different domains playing well together. Would a router be best? What do I need to consider as far as setting up firewall and/or gateway?
2) What considerations do I need to take into account regarding the camera network not taking bogging down existing user network?
3) The workstations on the camera network are not as “locked down” as they are on the user network (again, think county network security). Will I be creating a security hazard and if so, how can I prevent this?
We have an existing network with a Catalyst 4510 core switch and departmental 3560 switches connected via fiber. Due to company restructure we can no longer afford to buy new 3560's when anything goes wrong so this week I purchased an SG200-26 which I'm trying to get onto the network.
This is a legacy network which I didn't setup so my Cisco skills are somewhat limited (another reason for the SG200's hopefully), anyway have been looking at the configs on the existing switches and trying to match settings in the SG200 setup however not getting anywhere! I have the config from the dead switch so I can show what needs to be achieved, any experience in downgrading environment in a similar way?
I know nothing about Tablets (iPad or Android) or their operating system. My wife is interested in getting a iPad 2 or Android tablet.
I have a home WiFi network based on two laptops and a desktop. They are all running Windows OS. I also have 3 external drives and two printers USB wired into the main desktop.
I have two questions:
1) Will I be able to integrate an iPad/Android tablet into the Windows home network so as to be able to access the .jpg photographs on the desktop drives?
2) Will the tablet be able to output work to the printer attached to the Windows Desktop?
I asked a question recently about accessing camera via a smartphone but I realize that's not really the correct question. The smartphone works fine locally with wifi and has a browser available.
The real question I have is what is the easiest way to access any camera via a browser from a remote location. Years ago tech friend assisted me access my DCS-910 using dyndns.org. It was free and worked great. I guess it went away when they started charging for a basic account.
Is there an easy way to access a camera without using dyndns even if it involves putting in an IP address instead of a convenient domain name? I would just like to see at least one of my cameras in a browser off-site. If I have to pay $20/year for dyndns I can but I would prefer not to if possible.
I seem to be struggling to connect more than 4 cameras to my (ISP-supplied) modem/router by Netgear CGD24N via WPS. I'm on my 5th camera now (already have 3x 930L and 1x 942L) but the newest 942L just won't connect to the network at the moment and there's definitely no faults here as I swapped cameras today at the local retailer (and got an A3 942L!).I've even tried connecting the camera to my wireless extender (Netgear WN3000RP) but no luck there.
So far it has only worked twice for short periods of time (enough for me to configure the cameras) but since then I can't actually get it working. I've got a couple of spare wireless routers lying around too and should be receiving a DIR-600 soon (from the Netgear promotion in Australia) which could be useful?
I connected my camera to my router with a network cable. It is a DCS-2121, H/W Ver A2, with firmware 1.04_FR.It received an IP address and I could access it fine with a web browser.Then I configured it to work wireless.I disconnected the cable but the camera wasn't accessible.Since I couldn't find it I re-attached it with a network cable, but this didn't work.So I pressed the Reset button to start over again.However, now I cannot get it to work anymore. When I plug in the camera and have it connected with a network cable to the router the status light remains RED.When I plug it in without a network cable the status led remains RED.When I connect it with a network cable to a computer directly, the status led remains RED.I've tried changing the network settings of my router to use 192.168.0.x as range, but it makes no difference. In all cases the status indicator remains RED.
At the moment I have my home network (192.168.0.0/24) like as below (all connect using straight cables): [code] My Cisco lab equipment are in the basement all connecting to an access server which at the moment is plugged into Switch3-dumb (along with a printer & NAS).What I'm thinking is to replace the Switch3-dumb with a 3550 I'll be picking up later this week.Then using this to do as the Switch3-dumb did maybe by creating a native 'vlan 192' & putting it into a gig interface which will connect to the network using the straight cable, also putting the printer & NAS into the same vlan.This will hopefully still give me connectivity throughout.Then when required I'll like to use the 3550 with the rest of my Cisco equipment for setting up different labs (segmenting them from the home network by using different vlans etc.One of my reasons to implement the 3550 into the home network is to be able to play about on a regular basis (port monitor, traffic stats, etc).
we already have an existing network tru a switch hub and other two pc access internet through a wireless router and this wireless router is connected to the switch hub together with the other pc our problem is we cant share files and folders to the other two pc using wireless..How can we share files to other two pc.
I've recently moved into a new flat above a pub. The pub has internet which we are free to use but there it is an open network with no password protection and I don't feel comfortable connecting all my devices to it.Is it possible to create another network within the existing one? Perhaps by using another router with a password protecting it?
Here is what a wired portion of my network looks like:
internet---dsl modem---airport extreme---powerline ethernet adapter****powerline ethernet adapter---5 port switch---(ip camera & ioBridge 204)
The airport extreme is also hardwired to a PC that I use to view the IP camera.The issue I'm having is with the connection to the IP Camera.The connection to the camera worked for a long time, then starting dropping periodically and now it doesn't work at all.The ioBridge connected to the same switch as the camera connects to my network and the internet just fine.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot: I plugged the camera in to my airport extreme and it worked fine. When I plug my camera into the other end of the powerline ethernet adapters, though, it doesn't work (even though the ioBridge does). I replaced the powerline adapters today (because they had worked before, so I guessed something had fried in them) but the connection still doesn't work.
When I ping the camera (when it's on the other side of powerline adapters and "not working") the response time is around 3ms (good) but there is about a 33% loss rate (bad).I'm guessing it's the loss rate that is keeping it from displaying the video stream on the computer...but I can't think of what changed between when it was working and when it stopped working that would cause it lose packets like that.
We have purchased a new PC(OS, Windows XP2002, SP2). Now i want to add it with existing Local Area Network which is domain networking. Now how can i add the computer in that network? we use Oracle data base on it. i want to know that how this will work just like other clients on network. i know the LAN without domain network. i add it with network. it is now appear the workgroup. but when i access any client on network, then it cann't do any action, and replies access denied and not access any client c$ drive.
.We are setting up a new sales office where there will be between 5-10 users.At the moment, we run everything of one server which has all the file shares, printers. Active Directory etc. I know so far I will need the server cabinet - But my main concern is how I will make this new site connect to the already existing network and the other things which I will need.
I already have a wireless router but the signal strength doesn't seem to penetrate brick walls well. I want to add another wireless switch to access the same Internet but am not sure exactly what I should purchase. I know I don't want another router, so what should I buy?
I have a DIR-301 router connected to a Virgin cable modem. It provides the Internet to the PC and wirelessly to other devices (like my iPhone, my wife's Android phone and my iBook) with no problems.I recently bought a Sony TV that has an ethernet port on the back. The Sony wireless dongle they offer (UWA-BR100) is stupidly expensive, so I thought I'd try a wired connection via an access point.I bought another DIR-301 from eBay, as it was advertised as an access point which I thought would give the TV an Internet connetion.I've tried everything I can think of and have been advised, but I can't get a connection via the TV.
A dlink 615 router so im trying to set up a new network. So downstairs i have a netgear g router, this is then hardwired to a switch, from there i have another cable running upstairs and into my d link router.I am using snow Leopard OS, and using VMWare was able to use the quick setup on the associated disc but could only reach the stage where i connect my ethernet to router before it would display an error message stating it was unable to find a router.I then tried manually setting up the router online using
192.168.0.1
but was unable to get a working connection running over the wireless and i was only able to give this page when hardwired to the d link router.
i have a n6073 network camera i cannot browse and ping the IP of it.i used CAM FINDER to find the right IP, netmask and gateway of my n6073 network camera. can you check this:
I have several network cameras within my home. Some are Panasonic. How can I view the image without using their cgi. I just want to view the camera image within my security program. How can I do this?
I work in IT and I'm trying to install a network camera for a client which requires power over Ethernet. How do I verify that there is not PoE available
I moved into an apartment complex that has wireless already set up, but it is so slow! I heard that if I connect with my own router then the speed will be faster. How do I configure my router for that? I have a netgear WGR614v.10 and am using a macbook pro.
Just got the rt-n66u to add to my existing wired network. Can I just disable the DHCP on the 66U and set its IP address to something that's outside the range on my current router?
I have a wireless set up at home and recently had to replace my DSL modem (due to my cat knocking over my coffee cup and spilling coffee on my old modem) I have managed to connect to the internet directly through the modem, but want to connect wireless. How can I connect my new modem to my old wireless network?
I have an existing wireless network, and wish to add a Netbook to it. The Netbook can detect the network, but will not join it. It says the signal is strong, but still will not join the network. The computers cannot detect the Netbook wirelessly either, although network discovery is turned on.
I have an existing network in a 300 year old structure. There is a base router from which there are 3 wired (ethernet) lines to parts of the structure. Due to the structure itself (near 2 ft thick walls - masonry) the wireless from the base router reaches only a short distance. I would like to "extend" the wireless reach using those 3 existing runs. So - can I add 3 more routers or should I go with Wireless Access Points or what else would work?
Any documentation or information pertaining to replacing an existing wireless network. I will be looking to replace a 4400 w/12APs with a 5500 w/12APs. The users typically utilize the WiFi network on a regular, so I am trying to figure out how to replace the existing hardware without interrupting the service.
What would be the best way of handling a situation as such? I am currently looking on the Cisco Doc. website, hoping to find something related to this.
I have been deploying various wireless AP's in my network for years and years. We have a Cisco network with at least 30 different subnets, and we use EIGRP as our dynamic routing protocol. I have always wanted our AP's to act like a switch instead of a router. So I have always disabled DHCP, assigned it a static LAN IP address, and plugged it into my network on one of its 1-4 switchports, and not using the "internet" port. This goes for all my routers (varying Linksys/Cisco models, and even a couple old Netgears).
I have been realizing lately that once I get an AP build and sent out to the remote location (on a different subnet), I can usually no longer web into it. I am in the middle of deploying an NPS server to do 802.1x authentication, and I'm realizing that the E2000 I'm using cannot ping or see the NPS server which is on a different subnet. So, I'm sure I'm missing something.On this E2000, I have disabled the SPI firewall, turned off NAT, enabled dynamic routing, etc. But I can't ping devices on another subnet from the E2000. I also can't ping url... or other URL's from the E2000. It will not resolve them. (My DNS servers are on another subnet... same subnet as the NPS server). [code] Is there something I'm missing on my wireless APs? Do I need to configure my Cisco routers to use RIP in addition to EIGRP?
Alright, first off a little background. Im recent IT graduate (last spring) but not yet working in the field in any official capacitance. Its been about a year and half since I had my last Cisco class. Right now Im in the beginning process to work with locally own retailer setup a network infrastructure for IP camera and in the future VoIP, about 45 50 total IP devices when the project is complete.Nothing has been purchased yet but I have some candidates and a network layout planned, thought this is the first time Ie setup network of this type in the real world.Right now I looking at Netgear and LG/Ericsson (previously SMC, Nortel) switchesHavent gotten to the router yet and VoIP will come later.For either brand there would be one 1000MB 24 port switch and three 100MB switches, all of them 24 port and all will have PoE on all ports.[CODE]
Have a problem connecting my new IPcamera Elro C903IP so I can access it through the internet. Did the camera setup according to the manual. Local access (wifi network) works fine but access through internet remains impossible. IP of the camera is still 10.0.0.110 but I found out that for access trough the internet the IP would be like 192.168. etc but I can't change it properly.I have cable internet and a wifi router Netgear WNDR3700v2.Documentation that I found about port forwarding etc is not clear enough to me. I tried over and over but can't get it to work .
My new DCS-932L home network camera does not show up in MY DEVICES acct!! Only my FIRST camera show up, therefore I cannot access my SECOND camera remotely on my phone or other computer! When I ran the cd installation for the second camera, it could not access my network.....However I was able to install camera manually....it is working fine, I am getting my motion detection e-mails notification, I am able to access camera thru my laptop....What do i have to do in order to my second camera to show in MY DEVICES Acct? so I can access camera remotely?
I have a new apple airport extreme wireless router and have done all the port forwarding and gave the camera a static address and cannot view my camera outside my network. I also have done the dyndns service also. I will note if I change the http port in the camera settings to say 82 I get a black screen and cannot view my camera till I switch back to port 80. Reason why I want to do this is I need to view my camera for more then 60 seconds.
