Title: ip camera home security
Post by: Josquius on June 19, 2015, 12:49:50 PM
I've recently come into posession of an IP camera.
I'm thinking it would be nice, especially in light of my recent key loss, to set it up to record in my apartment- ideally to detect movement around my door then record that and, most importantly, store it remotely.
Anyone got any ideas how this is done?
Would it be a normal web hosting company like host gator or whatever or is this kind of thing done elsewhere?

Generally, regardless of the camera type, surveillance almost always goes camera > DVR.  The main difference with an IP camera is you don't have to screw around with RG-56 siamese cables and can just let your wireless router handle the task of getting the video to the DVR.  If your computer has a permanent IP address, you don't need a web host to stream content from the camera to, say, your smartphone.

I figured out how to do what I wanted.
Sadly it only works on a set time and date schedule.
You'd think manufacturers would make a nice feature like a button on top of the camera that after a few minutes delay activates its monitoring.

Can you give us the IP address? We'll make sure it is secure.
