How too set up a secure network with the Apple Extreme with out a Ethernet connection to hook up a security cam that only runs on a secure network with no Ethernet port on the cam
iPhone XR, iOS 14
Sorry I am a bit lost on what you are trying to achieve.
It is easy to plug an Ethernet security camera into a router and access the cam over wifi or ethernet from a computer. No internet connection is needed. You will generally need a PC though for the original setup of the camera and so you can set IP address etc.
An airport work as the router for this.
Of course if you want remote access then it won't work.. or you want the security cam recording to cloud then that will make things much harder. Apple routers do not work in the setup of hotel where you only have wifi connection.
What make and model is the security cam you bought?
What about the wifi one you had.. if you still have it perhaps that would be easier to setup.
Can you get direct access to the feed via normal browser? Or what software does it use.. can it record to sd-card on the camera as this is usually easiest way to have footage you can review.
I have setup Reolink Security cameras here..
There are multiple options to pick up the camera feed.
Here I have it plugged into the router.. and my computer is running the Reolink client software for Mac.
Unfortunately I cannot open it directly on the browser due to Adobe Flasher Player .. and camera software a bit out of date.
Client works fine though.
Setup of cameras can be tricky.. and cheap ones are probably not worth the time required..
You can setup a connection between the Airport and the wireless cam. However you cannot use wifi on the Airport to connect to the rest of the network unless your network includes other airports. If so it is relatively easy.. if not what about using power line adapters?
Thanks for responding I’m great full we’re at an extended stay hotel with an unsecured network the cam I have has no Ethernet port it’s set up for a secured network I spent hours trying trying to secure the apple tower extreme 6 th gen with no luck it’s a mess !!!! In most decent hotels they have a dsl network that cam plug in either a airport device or directly into the laptop this place has neither so my only recourse is too get a cheap cam with an Ethernet port and connect directly into the device I’ve tried everything I could possibly think of and there’s no access to the router in the room that pretty much tells me that’s the only way to feel secure the room and keep an eye on snoopey house keepers with sticky fingers 😳 is there anything else I can possibly do ? Thanks friends
