Assign IP 192.168.2.1 to your eth0. If you want your cameras to pull IPs from dhcp, then you'll need to install dhcpd or some other dhcp server package on your ubuntu host and configure it to use eth0 only. You'll need to configure the rage of IPs you want the dhcp server to dish out, etc.

#

Then hook another PC up to the network and make sure it gets an IP in the range and that you can access frigate via the eth0 IP

Would it be better for me to stop using Network Manager (UI) and migrate this over to Netplan?

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

You will need to monitor the dhcp logs to see when cameras get IPs and what IPs they get. I would recommend setting reservations for your camers, so the IPs don't change

#

That's your choice. You can do it in either, it is personal preference

#

what version of Ubuntu are you using?

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 1:52 AM

22.04

Plenty of articles on how to setup isc-dhcp server with 2 nic setup.. If you get stuck, let me know

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 1:56 AM

#

So here is what I setup in isc-dhcp

#

Oh, this Discord server doesn't let me upload images

#

Any idea what I would config in Network Manager UI?

#

@reef shell since this is a private LAN that I don't want to have connection to the internet, I wasn't sure what to put for the router, domain-name-server, and domain-name options

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

There is no router on that interface. Router = default gateway = 0.0.0.0/0 route. A routing table can only have a single default route and that will be on your wifi interface only

#

@reef shell so is having those lines commented out like I have it in the imgur screen shot above correct? Or should I have values on those lines?

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 2:18 AM

#

Yes, that looks fine

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

@reef shell so then I'm just a little confused what I should have in the setting in Network Manager for that interface. Here is a screen of the IPv4 options it has:

#

I'm assuming I want the "Manual" method, but I'm a littl confused what to put in the Addresses section for Address, Netmask (I assume 255.255.255.0), and Gateway.

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

That is the interface IP address that you want to assign. 192.168.2.1

#

mask is 255.255.255.0

#

nothing in gateway

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

I've tried those options, and it clears out after saving, and the Gateway field is highlighted in yellow

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 2:30 AM

#

then you may need to switch to netplan

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

@reef shell thank you for all your help, I got it working!!

#

At least DHCP is is working, I can see the cameras joining the network, and can connect to their web interface (despite it not being a very helpful one).

#

My challenge now is finding out the exact rtsp stream URL for them, as I inherited these cameras, and can't final any manuals for them

#

Have you by chance ever heard of Dripstone?

reef shell Jul 19, 2023, 11:32 AM

#

I have not. You can see if they are ONVIF complaint and will tell you their RTSP

gusty quail Jul 19, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

I'm pretty sure they are

#

Is there a tool that lets me ask them their RTSP?
