Network Bridge (IP Camera)

Thu Sep 15, 2016 8:40 am

Hi All,
I have an IP camera that I would like to connect to the LAN port of my model B+.
I can currently connect to the pi over WiFi.

I would like to be able to access the IP camera from other devices on my network. Iv got the IP camera under control, its just bridge that im having trouble with.

I have followed a few different guides but have been unsuccessful.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Tell us the IP-address setup you have on the Camera, Pi and LAN/wifi.

Iv got my WiFi adapter set at 10.1.1.150. My IP camera is 10.1.1.151, and I'm yet to configure the LAN port.
Cheers

If you're trying to setup a network bridge where the wifi is acting as a client and you're sharing that over the wired connection to the camera then you may have issues. The wifi specification only allows for a single client device (your Pi) to operate behind that connection (this is a Layer 2 - Ethernet limitation).

The safest option is to have the wired interface on a separate IP subnet and have the Pi acting as a router (possibly with NAT) which will work.
