hi, i purchased this cheap ip cam from ebay, the model number from the android app is CHW-PTZ and the app it uses is called YCC365. i am told by the app that if i want to use the cloud storage feature, i will have to pay for a subscription. i have my own server tower and thought that maybe with that tower it would be possible to set it up as my cloud storage for the ip cam. i am a quick learner and have messed around with network settings and such to a degree that is slightly above what the average person would probably run into having to mess with. i can read the ip address of the cam from the settings of the android app, and i figure, it should be possible for me to set this up, i just dont know where to start, so i was hoping one of you more knowledgeable on this forum could help point me in the right direction. itd be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Welcome slickwidnick,

Turn off UPnP and P2P on your router, block the camera from communicating out of your LAN, look for an rtsp feed from the camera
 
Are you looking to access the camera remotely?
I think you are looking at getting a dynamic dns if you don’t have a static ip, and port forwarding to that server.

Really depends on what you want to do. There are free Dropbox accounts, or you can pay for something like netdrive

You're going to need to understand what options your camera has for exporting/streaming video, and then setup/configure your server accordingly.

If your camera supports SMB or FTP, you should be able to setup a SMB share/FTP site on the server. If your camera supports RTSP, you can buy/install an application like Blue Iris.

There's always a chance (although small) that the camera doesn't support anything but the paid cloud option. RING is like that.... no other options.

Yeah, I can remotely view the cam with the ycc365 app, but what i want to do is save the recorded video to my own cloud so i dont have to pay for cloud storage..

I have the same cam and trying to connect it to home assistant I've run a port scan on the camera and this is what I have discovered.
Code: 
Port Scan has started…

Port Scanning host: 192.168.0.*

     Open TCP Port:     23             telnet
     Open TCP Port:     80             http
     Open TCP Port:     110            pop3
     Open TCP Port:     143            imap
     Open TCP Port:     554            rtsp
     Open TCP Port:     843
     Open TCP Port:     993            imaps
     Open TCP Port:     995            pop3s
     Open TCP Port:     3201           cpq-tasksmart
     Open TCP Port:     5050           mmcc
     Open TCP Port:     6670           vocaltec-gold
     Open TCP Port:     7101
     Open TCP Port:     7103
     Open TCP Port:     8001           vcom-tunnel
Port Scan has completed…
 
Can you "see" your camera using BlueIris? (Try the free demo.) If so, open "options" select "clips and archiving" and change the drive letter to your cloud drive - just make sure you create the same folder structure off the root of the cloud drive. (x:\BlueIris\db and x:\BlueIris\New)

I am having good luck with this approach. I have 2 cameras set to record motion detection on my front porch.

If possible do a hardware rest and hope for admin > admin...or Google the brand and see if you can uncover the manufacturer's default UID and password.
 
Blocking camera from Internet.

I have an ASUS router and block the camera mac address in the parental controls.

Any success?

I have the same camera as zeak (according to his Blue Iris query). I have it streaming via Blue Iris (see attached screenshot) and/or VLC (rtsp://IP/) but only 720p. Connecting to IP:80 with web browsers redirects to IP/index.asp but doesn't load anything and I cannot figure out it's default username/password for logging in via telnet.
