    Funxwe 4k 8mp on amazon

    idk if it tracks motion at night since the light is very subdued. compared to the IR night vision cameras, this screen is mostly black. it is a good camera for day time & might be ok in the next spot.

    Funxwe 4k 8mp on amazon

    Color Night Vision. it does have some ir, but it is weak compared to the other cameras here with only IR. i have to manually switch it to an ir mode. so it will be relocated to an area with a sentinel light. as stated, if you live in an urban area with a good amount of light from street...

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    just wanted to add that for over a month now the WiFi PtZ ip cameras mounted outdoors have been using the 255.255.255.128 mask and function just fine with Blue Iris 6.0 software. if the cameras need to be accessed, one computer has a wifi configuration with this mask & only sees these devices...

    Funxwe 4k 8mp on amazon

    i bought one of the cameras listed on Amazon as (funxwe 8MP 4K 30X Optical Zoom Security PTZ Wireless IP Camera, 2.4GHz 5GHz Dual WiFi for only $139 new.) this is a rural area with NO street lights and acreage with dirt roads and very little asphalt to be found. so this is a different venue...

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    the wall wart is included with these cameras. so they just need to be near a plug.

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    i had some questions & sent an email to the company. below are what they sent. the IR on this one is weak in comparison to the other cameras in use, but it pans MUCH faster than those.

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    'hacking' ip addresses/masks is new to me. done LANs for a long time, but simple ones up to 100 or so users max in an office park (token ring). but with the WWW we do ethernet & WiFi mostly. anyway tech_junkie indicated that if the mask was the same as the gateway mask, they could or might...

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    i did this today to isolate the 6 2.4G ip cameras all on wifi in various places in the yard. making the mask 255.255.255.128 works like a charm. one 'standby' computer has a static 2.4 wifi configuration matching this & is able to access all 6 with no problem & is unable to access the WWW...

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    thanks for this. i do understand the bridging you noted. my network is very different. i changed the camera's mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.255.128 as noted above. the camera 'dropped out of sight' as expected. then i changed a different computer to this 'new mask' & it was able to...

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    i realize this is an 'older' topic, but the comment about '...static and remove the gateway entry...' - what does this mean? if the gateway address in a camera is left blank the camera barks at this; it won't allow it.
