I bought some cheap Larkkey wifi cameras on Amazon and for the most part, they work great. I use them to monitor the property and the driveway, as well as the baby's room and whatever else needs monitored. So far, I've never needed to access them while away from the property. My problem is that they are using far too much of my cable provider bandwidth.
Is there a way to limit these cameras to my LAN? A friend suggested an Intranet but I'm not nearly as network savvy as I used to be. Most of what I knew has been forgotten or is now outdated and obsolete. If it's doable, I can learn and/or relearn whatever I'll need to know. The dream would be to be able to monitor all the cameras at once and (in a perfect world - lol) maybe be able to toggle through the cameras in a bigger window. Hey, if you're gonna dream - dream big! Haha! I'm sure that part is probably just a matter of software.
So yeah - is there a way to use these cameras on my local network without them using all of my allotted cable bandwidth - even if it sacrifices the ability to access the cameras from somewhere other than home?
Thank you in advance to any and all who take the time to comment or offer advice or other information.
