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?

Seedonk, and one of the other names itgoes by Camera Setup iSecuirty+ | Home Video Monitoring

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?

Thanks fellas will find that post and have a read.

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?

Thanks. Looks nice. What would be the software I'd require?

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. My...

Firmware updates - that is interesting. Is there the option to use third party / non-manufacturer firmware (like my gargoyle TPLink modem)?

Thanks That looks a bit like this one that I was looking at yesterday: https://www.amazon.com/Hikvision-DS-2CD2432F-IW-Indoor-Camera-2-8mm/dp/B00JWCV9CU

Hi. New to this forum! I use a bunch of belkin netcams (which I believe are Hikvision models) to keep an eye on my 87yo mum who has dementia but still lives in her own home. It works really well. But as her illness progresses it gets harder. What I need now is a similar inexpensive web camera...
