IP address wired vs wireless

What's the camera brand?

Your wired and wireless should be on the same subnet. Wired vs wireless are both just different layer 1/ physical layers to connect to the network.

They could be and probably should be, but that doesn't mean they are.

Goes att router to dream machine To switch24 to 5 aps

I'll try and find out camera brand. It runs on the gdmss plus app

Att wireless is off and all wireless through unifi.

But cameras are poe and plugged into att router. I'll move to unifi and see if that makes a difference

Because they have their own server and are not unifi.

So the wired cameras are plugged into a PoE NVR, which is plugged into the at&t router? And the doorbell is connected to the unifi wifi?

Assuming that's correct, you can probably just move the NVR from the at&t router over to the unifi switch, then all your cameras will probably be on the same subnet.

Edit: After thinking a bit more, these NVRs usually create their own subnet for the cams plugged into them, so what I said above may not be correct. However the NVR itself will be on the same subnet as your doorbell, and the NVRs usually expose the cameras attached to them that way. In other words, in the app you will just add the doorbell and the NVR, and you should then be able to view all your cams at once.

I might be misunderstanding what you’re saying, but if the camera has both wired and wireless connections, then they will have different IP addresses, though on the same subnet as others have said here. You can theoretically make them the same with Linux but not windows. But you wouldn’t want to do that anyway, I don’t think.

I still don’t understand why that’s a proble for the security company though?

Thanks and yea that it as far as what you described. Going to Nola tomorrow to tarp roofs but I'll try that on Sunday or Monday and report back.

The NVRs I'm familiar with are gateway devices. They act as a router/poe switch/dhcp server. The cameras are plugged into NVR's LAN ports. The NVR provides IP addresses to the cameras via DHCP. The NVR connects to the network via its WAN port. So the wired cameras are on the NVRs LAN. And the wireless camera is on the UniFi LAN.

I think, you need to turn off DHCP on the NVR. Then connect the NVR to your switch, via one of the NVR's LAN ports. Obviously, check with your installer. This is a wild arse guess.

To answer questions, yes att router is the fiber modem and it's fully Bridged on lass through mode.

Tamu-93 thanks to you too. I will try switching everything to the unifi network and see if that works. If not will talk to installer about your way.

Then you really shouldnt plug anything else into the ATT router, only your WAN and pass through port to Unifi. FOrget that rest of ports on router exist
