Got the non-power switch today, hooked up as per your instructions, both cameras now on DVR ethernet port 2, and port 1 again is connected to LAN.
I had to make the IP address change for my IPPTZ-EL2MPL-12X-Mni-O using the DVR's Main>Settings>Remote menu, I couldn't find it using either the IP Search.exe tool or the Net_Admin search.exe tool on my computer?
It worked by changing the IP from 192.168.1.18, (the DVR/cam address), to 192.168.0 (the LAN address), but is that the correct procedure? What will it take to connect to the camera through the LAN to make settings in the future if they are needed?
I am asking because I thought the IP search tools are where you make the IP address changes for IP cameras? That's the drill SCK folks had me do in the past. Am I in for problems in the future to log into the PTZ?
Only been less than a day running the new setup, but no problems yet.
Thanks Dan for the instruction.
