If I change Internet providers, going from cable to fiber ISP, do I need to setup my cameras all over again? They currently get their IP addresses through DHCP from my router, but the router’s IP internet connection would change. I am thinking about the case where I am accessing the cameras remotely from outside my home network.
Name your new network with the same SSID and pass code as the old one and they will connect without setpup. Or set them all up again with new SSID and Passcode. Depending on which cam you have if you can have both old and new networks online at the same time you can switch neworks with a setting in the app.
This is avalable on the V3 Cam.
They will generally switch to the new router and network as long as you use the same SSID (network name) and password. This can be delayed sometimes if the new network chooses a different channel, etc. I have had some devices take up to a day to switch to the new network. Though restarting the device often forces it to try to reconnect to the new network from scratch and attach earlier.
I had some older devices that seemed to be attached to the old router’s MAC address or something and wouldn’t switch to my new router without going through setup again, but most of them switched automatically just fine.
Of course if you change the network name or password, then you definitely need to change that in every device.
