Title: Number of DCS cameras on a wireless network
Post by: Sgeol on August 10, 2013, 12:45:38 PM

My wireless network (NETGEAR WNDR4300-100NAS N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router) via Charter Cable Modem can only handle 4, sometimes 5 DCS cams.  Currently one DCS 932L, two 930Ls and one DCS 520L cams.  When I try to access additional cams set up on the network via mydlink I get a red X on additional DCS cams.  I have noticed this limitation on another network of a friend also.  My question, how many DCS cams should I be able to view via mydlink and if more than four what could be the limiting factor for my network?  Thanks

Did you try the following:

• Swap out one of the cameras that did work and swap in one of the cameras that didn't work ("red X") to see if you can still get four cameras recognized
• Next re-add the original camera that worked as the fifth camera
• If the camera that originally worked isn't recognized, that may indicate some sort of limitation vs. a network/camera configuration issue

Do you mean live stream video from more than 4, or simply have that many connected?
