WI-FI Internet and hard wired Cameras?

Post by Trent » Fri Mar 17, 2023 6:57 pm

Hello, I have a PC at a remote location that I use occasionally, internet is via phone Wi-Fi hotspot. Could I connect a hardwired switch for BI and use Wi-Fi internet while BI is running or would I have to switch between the two? I don’t care about remote access or PC internet when I’m not there.
Thank You!

A bit confusing. Are you asking if a BI5 pc can communicate with hard wired cameras connected to it via an ethernet switch at the same time that the BI5 pc is connected to the internet via your mobile phone ? If so, then yes. I run two NICs on my BI5 pc. One LAN is just for cameras, and the other for my home LAN network.
