I've installed 3 IP cameras using your example. But i don't see 3 separate camera feeds in my monitor from Hikvision recorder, through the LAN port. Yet, when using any port (of the 8) I see 3 cameras switching in the same window. What physical IP address, of settings do I need to correct to view the 3 cams, coming from the wireless bridge? Thx
I think the problem is not the bridge. The birdge is transparent to the network. There is seperate VLAN running to negotiate the networking. If you saw the camera switching in same windows, i guess you have put receiver to one of PoE ports at the NVR. The NVR is designed to automatically make the link to any cameras to the PoE port. Since you have three IP address, so the NVR just keep changing the IP address. You might try the LAN port on the NVR instead of the POE port.
All PoE switches are not alike and a thing you should also pay attention to closely because the radios will likely use PPoE (Passive Power over Ethernet : 12 - 40 VDC) where most cameras use the 48 - 57 VDC PoE Standards. A managed PoE switch typically can be set up to supply all the power to the devices per port BUT these switches can be quite expensive and require some experience setting up. The one we are using cost us right at $1100 USD Unmanaged (or Dumb) PoE switches like the one in this video are preset to supply power at a specific PoE standard so it will only supply power to devices compatible with the switch power output standards. Unmanaged switches are definitely cheaper because they lack the features to control what power goes where
You can try Ubiquit DC48V to DC24V passive convertor or the mananged POE switch you mentioned to select the standard (DC48V) or passive POE (DC24V) output. However, this kind of selection design take 1236 twisted pairs for standard POE and 4578 for passive PoE. Technically it break the IEEE802.3 standard. It doesn't work with latest IEEE802.3bt (aka PoE++), since all the 4 twisteds pairs must be occupied to send the standard PoE power.
Hello, thank you for the nice video. I just have a question. Why do you connect an external power supply to the bridge antennas? They are connected on both sides on the PoE line. On on side the NVR brings the power and on the other side the PoE switch will supply the bridge antenna. I’m wrong with my understanding? Thank you.
That's because this wireless bridge can only accept 12V DC and 24V passive PoE while our PoE switch delivers standard PoE power. For more information: www.fastcabling.com/product/1-pair-wireless-long-range-ethernet-bridge/

If your IP cameras are connected to an NVR that stores footage locally on a hard drive, the cameras will continue to record even if the internet is down.
can we use this bridge connection (point to point wireless bridge) install to moving equipment, juts like, i have 8 excavators and want to install 2 CCTV camera to each one of them, i have tried using modem, but in remote areas, 4G connection are not available, so i can't use modem to monitor my equiments.

HI, I would like to start by saying this is a very thorough step by step video, this has helped myself to understand this allot. My question is this, Do you have to setup the NVR at the source, which you have in the video, or could you simply remove the POE switch at the receiving end and use the NVR as the switch. I simply want the wireless bridge to connect to the internet so that you could use the mobile app to check in on the cameras from time to time.
Based on your question, it sounds like you want to use the NVR as a central hub for your IP cameras. You can connect the PoE switch to the NVR will act as a central recording and management device for the cameras. It will receive video feeds from the cameras and store the footage. If you simply want to monitor your cameras on your phone, you can just connect the NVR to your existing network and install a mobile app provided by the NVR manufacturer or a third-party app that supports your NVR model.
The bandwidth will deteriorate as the distance increases. You can find more info here: www.fastcabling.com/product/1-pair-wireless-long-range-ethernet-bridge/
cool.. thanks for sharing,,, but, i'd like to know if we can use this point to point wireless bridge if the slave bridge is installed on a moving objects, like excavators, cranes or forklift, and all these equipment are working on outdoor/open yard areas. is there any email or web that i can share my Topology CCTV design that i need?
You might need a PoE switch to aggregate video from these cameras before you upload it to the transmitter. Eventually, the receiver only need to work with single transmitter.
Most networks use a DHCP server (usually your router) to automatically assign IP addresses to devices. If your IP cameras are set to obtain an IP address dynamically, they can be assigned a different IP address after a reboot. To prevent IP cameras from changing their IP addresses, you can assign a static IP to each camera. Here’s how to do it: 1. Access the Camera's Settings: Log into the camera’s web interface or NVR software using its current IP address. 2. Disable DHCP and Set Static IP: In the network settings of the camera, look for the "DHCP" option and disable it. Manually assign a static IP address to each camera. This IP should be outside the DHCP range of your router to avoid conflicts. 3. Assign IP from Router (Alternative Option): You can log into your router’s configuration page and assign a "reserved IP address" based on the camera’s MAC address. This way, the DHCP server will always assign the same IP to the camera. 4. Check and Save: Once the static IP is set, save the configuration and reboot the camera. It should now retain the same IP address.
Yes, when you set up cameras using wireless bridges, it's recommended to change the cameras from DHCP to Static IP. This ensures each camera retains the same IP address, improving stability and avoiding potential network conflicts.
i connected 4 IP cameras to one but only one picture shows up on the other side. looking at your video, i think i got my answer. i just have to go to the job site and apply it. nowhere in the manual mentioned anything about that on and off switch until you mentioned master and slave. switch. so, i'm going to turn the camera side switch off and se if it makes a difference. thank you for the hint.

Can a second bridge be installed like a camera to the poe switch? Then a second poe switch installed at the slave of the second bridge?
I assume you want to set two switches at both ends. Yes, the wireless bridge is transparent to the network. It turns TCP/IP to wireless signal.

It might not work. The wireless need to align. If the equipment is moving, then there is no guarantee it will stay in the same line.

What ais the max distance from the ip to. Switch?
Can it go up to 100m
It is 100 meters based on TCP/IP protocols. You will need some kind of extension solution to go beyond 328ft without breaking the protocol.
Think you for explication very nice 👍
