I am having some issues getting my wired IP camera to connect to my existing house network. I am currently using a Watchguard Firewall Router with LAN set to DHCP then out to an ethernet switch.
I plug in the camera's network cable and the Reolink POE injector and the camera powers up ok but will not accept nor request an IP. I have tried multiple reboots of the router, the ethernet switch and the camera. I spent days.
Then I decided to try my 4G router on T-Mobil. I plug in the camera and it comes right up no problem. I then plug in the camera/POE into my wifi router and ity comes right up as well.
As soon as I plug back in to the ethernet switch via the WG router nothing.
Anybody have a suggestion as this is quite frustrating? I assume it has something to do with my WG router or some kind of conflict with the 20 other devices on my network? My camera is mounted 25' up on my house so it is not easy to access at this time. I currently have it running through the wifi router's DMZ but I need to add it to Blue Iris on the home network with my other IP cameras.
Thanks for any help.
I found out the issue and I wanted to follow up with this in the event someone else has the same issue. For some reason my Reolink Trackmix camera could/would not obtain an IP from my Watchguard Firewall's DHCP server. I am not quite sure why as leases are available to other devices on my network no problem and works well, but for some odd reason would not work with my IP camera.
I reserved an IP address with my camera's MAC address in my firewall and the camera came right up. All is well.
Thanks for the quick responses!
