Hi,
Anyone have experience with configuring a QC security camera system on a home network?
I've recently installed an 8 channel security camera system around my house. It includes a DVR and the ability to view the cameras remotely on an iPhone app. I've used this feature successfully by connecting the DVR right into my Uverse 2Wire wireless gateway no problem. However I now have the system fully installed and it's on the 2nd floor of our house, gateway is on the 1st floor. I don't want to run an RJ45 cable all through the house.
The workaround: I used my AirPort Extreme (802.11n 5th Gen) to join my existing 2Wire network. According to the AirPort Utility app it successfully joined it and has connectivity to the internet. I then connected the QC DVR via RJ45 cable to the AirPort Extreme. The QC DVR appears to have some connectivity because it passes packet tests, but other than that I'm not seeing anything because I think there's some more configuring I need to do.
Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to extend instead of join the network? Do I need to do some port forwarding? Do I need to put the 2Wire gateway in DMZ mode?
