Actually I have one at home. I will check my router to see what IP address it has assigned the Belkin Netcam. Then see if I can find a way in by browsing to it (assuming there is some sort of web interface), then try a few 'obvious' passwords (no such information in the manual).
Thanks
Sorry to persist with this though - is there a way to find out the default IP address of the Belkin NetCam cameras (that I already have). I think the intention of the Belkin cloud camera is to use the server, and do not know a way to reveal its own default IP address. Presumably if I did...
Perhaps if I run Blue Iris at her premises it will detect all the cameras and their local IP addresses, then I establish a VPN and use the same IP addresses within that VPN network?
Is that what you are suggesting?
The cameras I've been using up until now have been these.
NetCam Wi-Fi Camera with Night Vision
I went with them as that was a 'I wonder if this will work' phase (ie. could I look after my Mum this way?) and I was able to score them for $15 each! They aren't great but it turned out to be ideal...
Great help - thanks. I'll check out Blue Iris.
Can the cameras I've been using be set up in a similar manner (just to test this out) or are they 'locked in' to the cloud based 'Seedonk / Belkin' server?
OK. Sorry about my ignorance but how is the IP address assigned outside of the local LAN? I'm not an IT guy but know enough to get me by - this is a new area for me.
I suppose more my point about software was how to set things up so that I can monitor things remotely. Presumably the camera has a local IP address for the local network. But to access it outside of the LAN a VPN is required, or a DNS is used or something along those lines?
Hi all
I've been using cheap Belkin IP cameras to keep an eye on my mum with dementia.
NetCam Wi-Fi Camera with Night Vision
The Belkin webcams have worked well for me as they are a very easy setup and I have many of these monitoring rooms in my Mum's place.
On the other hand I use fairly...
Thanks
That camera certainly would do the job. Only problem is I am in Australia so I'd like to find it as a supported product here.
Does anyone know who sells these here and under what brand name?
Thanks.
>>This nellys cameras or any hikvision/rebranded camera does not rely on the manufactures server
Then I can run my Belkin NetCamcameras from the HikVision app rather than the Belkin app?
No, that's not what I meant. I'm not out to save $20!:)
My router at home has a 3rd party firmware which allows much more than the standard firmware - like limiting downloads, monitoring usage of specific clients etc. It means the cheap router is able to do a lot more than intended.
