I have lubuntu 18.04 running on an Udoo X86. Internet access is through wifi and I have been trying all day to get a hikvision ip camera with static ip 192.168.1.64 to connect through the ethernet port with no luck. Nothing happens when I plug the cable into the eth port. I have tried setting up an ethernet connection with address 192.168.1.10 and mask 255.255.255.0, but since it is a direct connection I don't know if I need to enter a gateway or not. Am I doing this wrong or is there a problem with my ethernet port? Thanks!

  • You need to either connect it to PC using a crossover cable, or connect it to your Router and set it up to the same IP range.

    Refer back to the camera manual again and you should find detailed instructions

  • Thanks Ahmadgeo, but I need to connect it directly as there will be no router at the install location. I have done it before with a dahua camera but it worked with no issues as soon as I plugged it in. I have already done all the camera configuration using a windows pc. I just need to set up an ethernet connection at the same time as a wifi connection on the Udoo. – Al T Mar 25 '19 at 03:06
  • Use a Cross Over Ethernet cable then, looks like the port in Udoo don't recognize the direct connection.

    I thought virtually everything made in the last 20 years has Auto MDI-X (aka Auto uplink and trade, Universal Cable Recognition and Auto Sensing), does your computer support that? If it does, then apparently a crossover cable shouldn't make a difference. But if you happen to have a crossover cable handy already, it couldn't hurt to try it anyway. Also, how did you connect the camera to windows? Using the same cable, or even the same exact computer & port, only running Windows instead of Linux? – Xen2050 Mar 25 '19 at 03:59
  • I looked up documentation and Udoo does support auto MDI-X, though whether or not it is working is unknown. With the PC, the port immediately recognizes that there is a device and I can ping the camera and then use the browser to view it. With the Udoo running lubuntu, I can't even ping it. I only need it to be recognized so that I can pull a video stream to zoneminder. I can connect it directly to a raspberry pi with no issues, but the Udoo is more powerful so I want to use it as the server. I'm thinking it's an issue with the ethernet port settings not working, but so far no luck. – Al T Mar 25 '19 at 04:08

Ok, thanks for your responses. The issue I was running into was that I was trying to set the ethernet address using the gui interface and network manager, but in Ubuntu/lubuntu 18.04, you now have to use Netplan to configure networks. Once I followed these instructions, How to setup a static IP on Ubuntu Server 18.04, it took a minute to set it up and have the udoo recognize the connection.

My situation is I have an IP camera with (mentioned by manufacture )ip=192.168.1.88 which is connected to pi via lan; whereas my pi itself is connected to wifi, i'm accessing my pi via ssh on my pc . But when i try to access camera with above ip its not working saying "timeout=0 failed: No route to host" . Please help me with it ! Thanks in advance – blitu12345 Aug 27 '21 at 06:22
