    Hello. I have such devices:
    - BCS TIP-3300IR-E camera
    - Edimax BR6478GN router
    - Fiber optic Internet

    The camera was sent from the website as functional, and a software update was also carried out.

    Unfortunately, after entering the IP address of the camera in the web browser, nothing happens, the program configtool can not find the camera. Earlier, when I had Livebox the camera was working but when changing the modem (and service provider) it is impossible to connect to the camera.

    The initial address is 192.168.2.100 and the final address is 192.168.2.200 and the camera address is 192.168.1.108 so it is out of range so what should I do in this case?

    And how should I do it?

    Thank you very much. The login page for the camera has been displayed but you cannot enter the login and password because it is just jamming at the moment.

    I think the problem is with the camera software.

    The problem was solved with the help of a colleague koderr. It was enough for the IP camera address to be in the range that includes the router address between the start and end addresses.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the setup issues faced when connecting a BCS TIP-3300IR-E IP camera to an Edimax BR6478GN router after changing the internet service provider. The user initially encountered problems accessing the camera's web interface due to an IP address mismatch. It was determined that the camera's IP address (192.168.1.108) was outside the router's DHCP range (192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200). Solutions included adjusting the router's IP address range to include the camera's address and changing the LAN IP address of the router. After making these adjustments, the camera's login page was accessible, but further issues with camera software were noted. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by ensuring the camera's IP address fell within the router's DHCP range.

FAQ

TL;DR: 100% of this thread’s connection issue was a subnet mismatch; "It was enough for the IP camera address to be in the range." Fix by aligning the router’s LAN/DHCP to 192.168.1.x to match 192.168.1.108. [Elektroda, JCB4, post #17271433]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps home users and installers restore local access to BCS TIP-3300IR-E cameras on Edimax BR6478GN routers by fixing subnet mismatches.

Quick Facts

Why can’t my Edimax BR6478GN see my BCS TIP-3300IR-E camera?

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]

How do I check if my router’s IP range includes the camera?

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]

How do I realign the router’s IP range to match the camera (192.168.1.108)?

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

Do I need to reboot devices after changing the subnet?

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]

The camera login page loads but freezes—what next?

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]

ConfigTool can’t find the camera—how do I fix discovery?

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]

What’s the default IP of the BCS TIP-3300IR-E?

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]

Does changing ISP or modem affect access to my IP camera?

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]

How big was the DHCP pool shown in this thread?

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]

Can I change DHCP start/end without changing the LAN IP?

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]

My router UI won’t accept a 192.168.1.x DHCP range—what now?

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]

How will I know the fix worked?

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]
