Camera LAN
Most of the time, changing the CamLAN is not recommended because it complicates the implementation process and the CamLAN acts as a DHCP server to the cameras. The CamLan IP settings should only be changed if you are installing an Eagle Eye Bridge on an existing camera environment and the cameras are already set to a static VLAN or; You are implementing Cloud Video Replication.
Changing these settings is just as simple as changing the WAN settings.
