    jwater7, I know it's been a long time, but thanks for posting in my thread about the hipcam.org ddns. The moderator was being ridiculous and nasty to me for some unknown reason. After your post pointing that out, he deleted the thread completely. Maybe he was embarrassed when he read it again. I...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Actually bedouin, I have never tried the sd card option. I thought it used fifo though, deleting the oldest when full. I use offsite recording software to catch the video in case they destroy the cameras (assuming they don't cut the power first).

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    NONE of these things happened to me! But I was on a newer version than you before the upgrade and am still on a newer version after the upgrade. I just hit the upgrade check button in the Android app and it did it. Maybe our hardware is not exactly the same if the check produced different downloads.

    fenderman, yes, I was conflating a vpn client and server. I posted a clarification earlier today. Basically want to run a vpn server on the router and having remote clients come in. To the camera they would then appear to be on the same LAN and would not need any ports forwarded.

    I should clarify, the vpn client in DD-WRT will use the vpn subscription for all of my outgoing connections. The remote camera monitoring devices would be using a vpn client to connect to the vpn server in DD-WRT. DD-WRT can do both.

    OK thanks, I will be more aware going forward. I have been a member but I tend to only peek in when I need something (no offense ;)). You have given me the idea that I could use a VPN to secure the access to the cameras. I have been planning a whole-house vpn for my own home by installing...

    From portforward.com: ==================== Is it Safe to Port Forward to a DVR or Security Camera? You should not be worried about forwarding a port to a security camera, DVR, or other consumer device. Like gaming consoles these devices are designed to be connected directly to the Internet. It...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Yes, those are all things I have tried. I already had the "less secure' opened up so I could use Outlook with gmail. I am not going to sweat it. I can have cam software set up remotely to do all this stuff. These cams are only $33 on Amazon so I bought 3 more for my BIL. They are definitely for...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I am using smtp.gmail.com with the same settings as my pc email client which works fine, from the same location as the cam. The web interface doesn't even have motion detection settings. All it has is the SD and FTP autosnap interval. The Android app (CamHi) has motion detection on/off and...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I would rather not use a PC client to update the ddns. I prefer a network appliance like a camera or router to take care of it. But I have the same issue with all of them - wanting a free one without needing monthly human updates, and having that one available in the device's firmware. I am...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    I have wondered how the app can possibly find the camera when outside the network, since there is no config necessary for port, router config, etc. I was going to hook up a sniffer to find out how it's resolving the name and realized as you did, the traffic must be routing through a baked-in...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    THANKS bedouin! I have not been able to figure out the rtsp URL. So now I got it working in VLC, but VLC is not cooperating. The video keeps going black, as if it lost connection, but there is no error msg. I then have to right-click and select Play to get the video back. When I do that, VLC...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    Bedouin, I bought 4 of these cams because they were so cheap and 2 were for a friend who had no money. They have been working adequately for our needs, but I cannot get the web interface to work reliably. I am using Chrome 49 on Win 7 and camera firmware V9.1.4.1.18-20160708. The picture...
