view cameras on different network
You need to access the cameras using a different network connection, such as a VPN or another local network, to view them through Agent DVR.
This setup is usually a router-modem hybrid. You should forward the desired access point in the diagram and assign the router's IP address to your device for viewing.
It's a device that combines a router and a modem into one unit. This simplifies your setup by having both functions in one place. If you're just starting out, it makes connecting to the internet easier without needing separate equipment.
The reason for having a second network might exist, but you can configure port forwarding on your router to allow access to cameras from the main network. Check your router’s settings for port forwarding options, enter the camera’s IP address and the corresponding port, and you should be able to reach it through the primary network.
From what I observe, there are potential solutions available. Are you using a Class B or C network? If it's B (subnet 255.255.0.0), your current IP configuration should work. If it's C (255.255.255.0 subnet), the setup might not function unless your DHCP assigns a different class C range to that subnet. You seem to have a router with four cameras, likely acting as a POE DVR and also serving as a router. On most models, you can adjust it to switch between router and switch modes. The exact steps depend on the device type. Feel free to share more details if needed.
I isolated my PC and brothers' computers from the network for priority access. My router is an Ax1500. I entered the right IP address, but I'm unsure about the correct port. On the TP-Link camera site, it says port 554, yet I can't assign that to one camera. Neither device appears in the monitoring program.
Usually isolating the network this way won’t improve your PC’s performance, so it doesn’t seem useful. It might be better to keep everything through your router and use QOS to prioritize the PC for optimal speed. What IP address are you referring to as correct? You should set it to the router’s IP and then configure the forwarded port, like 554 here.
You've only set up a double NAT configuration locally. Your connection speed remains unchanged because both devices can access the main modem freely. You've managed to isolate certain items from reaching other parts of your internal network, and any multiplayer games with a double NAT setup may affect how they perform.
