The MOBOTIX Bridge offers two Ethernet ports to connect the Bridge to the cameras and the Internet.
WAN Port
CamLan Port
Typically, to separate the cameras from the Internet, the connection to the Internet router is realised on the WAN port of the bridge and the bridge obtains an address for the WAN port from the router. In this case, the WAN port is the DHCP client.
The CamLan port is only connected to the camera network and acts as a DHCP server for the connected cameras.
Note:
In contrast to the standard scenario, cameras that are connected to the bridge via the WAN port can also be managed.
