[Solved] Router Not Detecting BCS TIP-3300IR-E IP Camera with Edimax BR6478GN: Setup Issues & Tips

Question 1

The router and camera were on different subnets. Home routers block discovery across subnets. Fix it by ensuring the camera address falls within your router’s DHCP start–end range. The thread author confirmed this solved access immediately. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17271433]

Question 2

Open your router’s DHCP settings. Note the Start IP Address and End IP Address. Compare your camera’s IP to that range. If it sits outside the range, adjust settings so it falls within. The forum helper advised exactly this check. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17270405]

Question 3

Use this three-step fix.

Answer

Use this three-step fix.

Change the router’s LAN IP to the camera’s subnet.
Update DHCP Start and End to the same subnet.
Save, then reboot your PC to obtain a new lease. The helper explained that subnet changes require client renewal. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17270454]

Question 4

Yes. “Restarting the computer is inevitable,” because the router must issue an address from the new subnet. Rebooting ensures your PC receives the correct lease. This prevents stale addressing from blocking access. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17270454]

Question 5

That behavior points to a software-side issue. The author suspected the camera software after observing the jam. Reapply the network fix, reboot, then consider firmware or software support if it persists. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17270502]

Question 6

Align the camera and router to the same subnet. Discovery tools and direct HTTP access then start working. In the thread, access worked once the camera IP fell within the router’s start–end range. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17271433]

Question 7

Per the included instructions, the camera used 192.168.1.108. Use that address only when your LAN matches 192.168.1.x. Otherwise, edit router LAN and DHCP, then retry. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17270387]

Question 8

Yes. A new modem or provider can change your LAN subnet. The author lost access after switching providers, though the camera previously worked. Fix the LAN addressing first before testing remote access. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17270276]

Question 9

The pool 192.168.2.100–192.168.2.200 includes 101 addresses. It is ample for home networks. The issue was not size, but subnet mismatch with the camera. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17270423]

Question 10

No. Align the LAN IP and the DHCP pool to the same subnet. The author changed the LAN IP Address alongside the DHCP range. The helper added, “it must agree.” [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17270467]

Question 11

Some routers lock DHCP to the current LAN subnet. Change the LAN IP first. Then set the DHCP range you need. The author’s screenshot showed the initial change wasn’t allowed. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17270450]

Question 12

Accessing the camera’s web interface succeeds again. The author confirmed the problem was solved once the camera address sat within the router’s start–end range. That alignment is the key test. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17271433]
