Hey,

I have a couple of ip cameras and I sometimes have to change the settings. There usually linked with wifi but sometimes they don't connect and I need to access the settings

Usually I have to use a powerline adapter and then plug it to the nearest outlet to the camera and then run the Ethernet to it.

Would it work if I just connect an Ethernet from the ip camera to the laptop. Would it allow me to access the settings page or not?

Thanks

is the camera or or you laptop have a gig interface, all 10/100/1000 interfaces are auto cross over, so if atleast 1 of them is gig then yes you can use any cable you want and connect.  You would need to setup static IPs or use APIPA, if the camera supports it.. thats when no dhcp server is available and machine gives itself 169.254.x.x address.

 

Or you could run dhcp server on your laptop for the camera - free windows one here,.  http://tftpd32.jounin.net/%C2"'> I use it all the time when setting up networked ups systems.

Do you know if they had static IP's and what they were before? You could just connect your laptop to it and assign your laptop an address in the same range and then manage them however, usually web browsing but I have seen software ones.

 

What make and model of cameras are they? We might be able to help....

Yeah they have static IP and ports. How would I go about doing that, putting them in the same range? 

 

Connect laptop ethernet to the IP cam ethernet and then assign a laptop in the same range. Although I think they're in the same range. The IP cameras are like:

 

192.168.0.11 

192.168.0.12

 

and every other device on the network is 192.168.0.x

 

The cameras settings are done via web browser. They're just standard FOSCAM IP cameras. 

well on windows go to your interface and change from dhcp to static and put in and IP address on 192.168.0.x that does not conflict with camera IP you want to connect to.

 

Then use netmask of 255.255.255.0

 

Done.

Once done just change to dhcp again.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.
