Need Help IP Camera chewing internet downloads

[bfhoon1 0]

HI Everyone

 

I'm after some help i don't really understand routers and how they work etc but have managed to set up a cctv system however its massively affecting my internet downloads. I may be best to give everyone some background on my whole computer system

 

1. Pc connected to a router via a wireless usb dongle.

2. I have an Ethernet card in the pc however it is unused to far away to plug into Ethernet

3. A IP Camera bought from china running a cat6 cable to a 4 port poi ( power over Ethernet switch )

4. This then plugs into my router via a cat 6 cable.

 

Doesn't matter what I do what program I use etc the ip camera just uses my internet downloads to work? I was under the impression and I could be wrong that I would be able to stream the video to my router and then my computer free of charge via a sort of in house network system if that makes sense? Can someone give me some pointers and tips on how to do this. I'm in no way dumb but I just need someone to explain it to me and I should be able to work it out that's of course if its even possible and I cant see why it wouldn't be surely I can stream video over my own network?

 

I can provide more details if needed just ask

Thanking you all in advance.

Are you connecting directly to the camera, or going out to some website to view the camera feed?

Sounds like you are connecting to a camera cloud .... So you are using data. Going local will not use your data.

 

You need to list your camera type

Hi guys

 

Thanks for the help it's a cheap China camera please see link below

 

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Outdoor-HD-1080P-30M-IR-2MP-POE-Network-IP-Security-Camera-P2P-ONVIF-Waterproof-/311567990505?hash=item488ae63ee9:g:eRAAAOSwiYFXH3~d

 

I'm accessing it in internet explorer 10.0.0.10 it's draining my internet also the night vision not the best it just picks up people as white that it and I don't like the red infared light to bright a guy up the road has a swan system and his doesn't even glow at all that's what I really wanted.

Hi. That is a cheap p2p camera ...... It's connected to a 3rd party server in China

 

TUTK is not a company I would give control of my network too.

 

If I was you I would spend time on getting your security back .... A China 3rd party p2p with access to your PC is something you need to change

 

Remove all the cameras programs

Rest your home router

Block it with your firewall

 

And start again with a brand name camera

But it's still on my home network isn't it their software co tainted a client pc program as well as p2p. Also they wouldn't be able to connect to my router unless they had my password correct. Surely there is a way to connect to it just on my home network also would I be better running blue iris or something with the camera. I mean for the price it's ok I'll admit wouldn't call it 2megapixles slightly less and night vision isn't the best but does work.

How do you think your camera was setup ? Did you add it to your router or did you load the p2p disc ? Did you do all the port forwarding on your router or did you let the software auto set

 

Do a scan on your network and you will see the ports open and IP addresses that connect.

 

But if your happy with someone watching your camera in China then it's $60 well spent

HI Tom

 

I set it up using their disk, but I would also like to know how to set it up on my own home network. Look I'm not an expert guru but I'm willing to learn is there a how to or instruction step by step on how to do this surely its not impossible correct? I'm guessing you just need to be clued on with routers networking etc,

I'd be curious to see if everything still works without a connection to the Internet. Then, if it does, depending on your router, you might be able to use your router to block the camera from accessing the Internet.

Ive tried disconnecting my internet and then putting in the camera ip adres son the router doesn't work? Surely there is a way though anyone with networking experience?

Hi. To do anything first you need to have control of the cameras IP protocol

 

Find its local IP see if it gives you the option to change it ....you also need to change its 2nd dns service ... Fill as 0.0.0.0

 

Then you need to remove its p2p software from your PC or it will reset your camera and also full reset your router

The camera came with a sticker on it stating ip 192.168.1.88 I changed that on their software to 10.0.0.10. Im not really sure what programs to use to find its local ip etc is there a step by step guide that you may be able to point a lamen like myself on doing this?

 

Thanks

That would be it's local IP; sounds like it's now 10.0.0.10.

So How can i make it use my local network and not my internet downloads

[tomcctv 190]

Hi. You need to post a picture of the cameras network setup screen

 

Your local IP for the camera is 10.0.0.10 which you need to enter into your web browser and see if it takes you to a log in screen
