Directions

In this case, you will have 2 ways to do it:

Turn off the DHCP Server on the secondary router, then the secondary router will only act as a switch to share the internet signal. The main modem will take on the role of management and provide IP addresses. Now you just need to open the camera port on the main modem as usual.
Open the port and register a domain name for the camera on the main modem. Then add the video recorder on the secondary router with the domain name just created.

Option 1: Turn off DHCP Server on Secondary Router

First, go to the secondary router, find Advanced -> Network -> DHCP Server -> disable DHCP Server:

Then, On the secondary router, switch the network port from WAN to LAN 1 (or LAN 2, 3, 4 is fine):

After you have done the above 2 steps, restart the whole device (connecting the secondary Router) to receive the IP from the primary Modem down.

Thus, the secondary router will act as a switch to divide the internet. All devices will share a network layer and connect to each other normally.

Option 2: Open Port Camera to add the recorder

In this case, the installation is as follows:

Main Modem has IP address: 192.168.1.1
Camera has IP address is: 192.168.1.97.
Secondary router has an IP address of: 192.168.0.1< /strong>. recorder is attached to the secondary router, with IP address: 192.168.0.2.
Signal wire going from port LAN1 on the Main Modem to the WAN port on the Secondary Router.
