Hi guys,

I'm interested in buying H500 but I don't understand the way it connects to the camera.

 

Here is my scenario.

 

In house I have a Router + range extender of Fritzbox in a mesh network.

 

Outside I have an access point from Zyxel. I know, that a mess because Zyxel and Fritzbox cannot do a Mesh but Fritzbox don't build external appliances.

 

The question is: 3 of the 4 camera are in Zyxel while 1 is on Fritzbox. Is it possible to configure H500 to see all the cameras?

 

Many thanks for your replies.

Best 

J.

Generally, the smart devices can discover each other as long as they're on the same subnet. However, for non-mesh networks built with extension devices, some extension devices may have special settings that could prevent communication with the main network.
