Change the camera IP in the configuration #78

Closed isbkch closed 5 months ago

isbkch commented 2 years ago

My system rebooted and my camera IP changed even though it was reserved... Anyway, I'm wondering how can I change the camera IP without having to reinstall it again (and loose all my preconfigured automations)

roleoroleo commented 2 years ago

I should implement a service discovery protocol in the cam. But it isn't a simple task. Are you able to set a dhcp reservation with your router?

isbkch commented 2 years ago

Yes, I am, it's just that sometimes when the power goes out, even my reserved addresses get reset, probably a bug with my router or something. I was just wondering where can I change the IP of an already set up camera, a file? a line in DB? I would lose all my automation if I had to delete the old camera and add it from scratch

roleoroleo commented 2 years ago

Probably core files in the .storage directory. But it's not safe to edit them manually.

Yeah, config.storage\core.config_entries is where I changed the IP addresses of a few cameras after I moved them to a different vlan. (It seems to work fine with a manual change.) I also couldn't find a mechanism to update the IP address after initially adding them. Did you get this working, @isbkch ?
