I learned the hard way about setting a static IP address for the camera on the router. I originally set the static address on the camera only and started to have issues with losing control of it in the middle of services after the IP address suddenly changed. The weird thing was that the camera would disappear completely from the network and I couldn’t even find it using its MAC address. Once I set static IP for the camera via the router, these problems went away.

Was it just to be in the same IP range as your camera temporarily? I’m a little confused why you did it. Because later, you changed everything to 192.168.0.whatever for your three devices. I’m guessing you changed your computer back to DHCP.

If you don't mind, I could use some advice for troubleshooting my fomako camera setup What I have is the fmk20UH (plug-and-play one) with a direct USB 2.0 cable to my laptop, and controlled by the model 601 joystick controller. When I first got it, I could control the camera with the ptz controller, but something got changed (not sure what) and now it won't control it. I want to try and factory reset the camera, but the only way to do so (that I know of) is to use the remote control to do so. Since there is no display on the camera, it is very difficult to navigate the menu, as you're basically flying blind. What should I do?

This may also work if you plug it into your computer and pull up OBS or something similar, but I have yet to confirm it. Also, on your computer, it shows up as 'UVC Camera' on your devices page; as there's no drivers or anything, it doesn't give you a direct UI. Just a camera feed. But regardless, using the provided remote control and an actual monitor to factory reset the camera appears to have done the trick.
