On my pc and phones works great. But, i want to install my cam on firestick and Kodi. I try apps i find in store, i also try Kodi addons, and no one can connect to my cam.
I put ip adress, but no one cant find cam.
Advices?

If you did not have to forward a port in your router at home and you're viewing from outside your home, either on the cellular network or a friend's Wi-Fi, then you are using their cloud via P2P. Entering a serial or ID number is the same as scanning QR code, just less convenient or accurate.

I personally would not trust their server because it's not so much them seeing what your cam sees it someone hacking your cam and using it like a bot to exploit your home network and all attached devices or perform DoS (Denial of Service). At the VERY least it can slow down your home network and consume bandwidth...and that's if you're lucky!

I find out.
I install ONVIF Device Manager and iSpy, and i get links. I just create stmr files and it works. But, i have another question.
On iSpy i get codes for 1080p and 620p, but 1080p almost half size of screen is pixelated, on 620 works good.
Can i somehow find links or create at least 720p to looks little more sharp when i watch from TV?
Thanks

You will likely have to log into camera with a browser and change resolution of the substream (or the stream chosen by number in your URL such as 0 or 1) to 1280 x 720 .

This reminds me of this paradigm:

You might find a "cheap" and "good" cam, but might lack any interconnectivity possibilities. You can't have all in this world :)

Great image. It's message it applicable to almost anything.
Example: I'm not a restaurateur but I am a consumer and always felt like (at least where I live) you have to work hard to fail as a restaurant; it's a remote area and 25 miles to the big chain food establishments.
  • Good food, fast service....you may be willing to pay a bit more.
  • Fast service, great prices....you may be willing to lower your standards of good taste.
  • Great food, fantastic prices.....if you can, you may be willing to wait a L-O-N-G time.
  • But crappy food, high prices and lousy service? You'll have few return customers and you'll be out of business in no time...and I'm OK with that. IMO, that's the way it should be with any kind of business or service.
It's free enterprise, folks! :cool:

By ""link" if you mean logging into camera with an IP in your browser, that's because you're looking at software embedded in the cam as a user interface or webGUI.
Also, i want to have NAS, can i set up cam to record directly to NAS?
Again, if it can be set to record to SD card, PC or network drive or NAS, you'd likely have to log into the camera with the aforementioned webGUI to configure that.
