Configuring the wi-fi camera at the parish

I tried to help set up the cameras at the parish today. Father Joe wanted to install a new camera at the Santisimo Sacramento Parish in Piura that moves, so that the video feed on the website (http://santisimo.org) will be active and feature a moving feed. 

The following is a picture layout of my day!

Looking at the instructions for setting up the camera.

Working with Juan Carlos and Johnny to diagram out the camera's connections to the router
Figuring out the IP address of the camera and testing it with the downstairs (main) router.  It does not work!
 And I don't know why? No one has the admin password for the main router.
Testing the wi-fi camera upstairs with the access point called Santismo2.  It worked!

Trying to find out why it works with the upstairs access point but not the downstairs router. Juan Carlos calling TelMex, the ISP, for the router admin password.

More testing involving the upstairs access point!

Figured out that the IP is provided by the internet company, and that we need to get the information from them in order to set up the wifi camera.

Viewing the camera feed (wifi camera connected to Santismo2 access point), which can be viewed on even mobile devices!

Tomorrow, I hope to find out the information about the IP address for the main router that is provided by the internet company so that I can continue setting up the camera. This knowledge would also help in facilitate future fixes because knowledge of the router's workings would make fixing or replacing several parts in the future easier.
