Camera Manager FAQ
Normally when you get another router, you will get another global IP.
First you will have to be connected to the same network as the cameras. To find your new global IP, go to an IP lookup website. https://www.ping.eu/
Now that you know your new Global IP, log in to CameraManager and open the Networks tab of the camera(s).
Press the "Shift" key on your keyboard and double click on the "Camera IP Address and Port" line.
Change the "IP Address" to the new Global IP.
Change the IP Address, not the Local IP Address.
Sometimes you will need to change the local IP Address as well, however it is unnecessary most of the time.
You will need the MAC addresses of the cameras. This information can be found in the CameraManager application under Camera Info as well as a sticker on the device.
To change the Local IP address of the cameras, open the Command Prompt on your Desktop.
Fill in the command "ipconfig". You will see your gateway. Copy this.
Fill in the command ping <gateway>
When the ping is done, fill in the command "arp -a". This command shows all connected devices shown in the network.
Find the MAC addresses of the cameras in the list. Next to this MAC, you will see the new Local IP address.
Fill in this address in the Networks tab.
