gojkog21 0 Posted February 6, 2017 Hi, Could anyone tell me how p2p server works? Does IP camera send continuously stream to server, or only when client connect to it? Thanks! Gojko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case, what would happen to the DVR/camera access if the manufacturer stops hosting the central servers or simply goes out of business? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gojkog21 0 Posted February 9, 2017 As I understand correctly, when I use p2p, server plays role only to connect my phone and IP camera?? I have mobile app, suggested by vendor. There I scan QR code using phone camera, but is there any solution to do the same on PC (Windows)?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
