Connecting Swann NHD 820 to PC through cable modem

Recommended Posts

 

New this:

 

Just purchased Swann 1080p NHD 820 (the one that is said to be same as Hikvision DS-2CD2032-1), and a suitable PoE injector.

 

I am trying to connect it to my Windows PC through wired Ethernet through my DSL modem/router (Westell VersaLink 327W).

 

I'm pretty savvy about this kind of stuff but something is not working for me:

 

Problem seems to be that I cannot communicate 192.0.0.X through the DSL modem (it's internal IP address is 192.168.1.1). I even tried connecting two PCs with static IP addresses (192.0.0.100, 192.0.0.101) and could not ping between them through the Westell.

 

I tried disabling all of the security setting in the Westell (allow all traffic).

 

Do I need a different router?

 

Thanks folks,

 

Dan

You need to set the cams to the same subnet as the modem - 192.168.1.x. Best bet for this is to use Hik's SADP software, or the Swann equivalent, which should be able to find your cams and let you reset the IP address to match your subnet.
