There are plenty of security cams on Amazon at bargain price, Looks they want to kill any competition. Every one of this cams will open a backdoor in your home LAN. I needed some support and I emailed them. One hour after I got an answer to my email containing two pics from my house taken with my camera! I believe it is mandatory to warn the user if the equipment connects to an outside server. No warning given. Everything happens in stealth mode. Here is one:


Are you trying to test/view the camera outside your home network? You will not be able to set it up at home and use a computer, cell, tablet, etc. that is hardwired or connected wirelessly to your NVG589. When I was testing mine I turned OFF the home wireless connection on my cell so it would use the cell data network and it worked.


I have been testing it from a computer not connected to my home network at all. Though to be fair when I was using Comcast I was able to access it over the Internet from my home network with no problem as I was viewing it through a public website that could ONLY connect to it over the Internet.


I read the manual and did what it said before I started this thread. It didn't work which was why I started the thread. I have tested the port from my home network using canyouseeme.org and it said it could "see my service" for the designated port so I know that the firewall isn't blocking the port. This leads me to believe that the NVG589 is not forwarding any requests to or from the camera.


My huge issue at this point is the port forwarding on the 589... simply stated as noted above it doesn't work, something is blocking the inbound connection. The ipcamera works just fine on the internal network, but it will not connect from the outside using the actual IP address, the broswer usually times out. I have tried multiple ports, using web software, I have verified the port I set for the camera under port forwarding is open, yet trying to connect to the camera from elsewhere say my work, simply doesn't go through.


I just got 2 foscam cameras set up this weekend with a Belkin Router. I set them up through dyndns.org so I can view my rental property from my house. They are working in a pitch dark room at 10pm and you would think all the lights are on in the room, truly amazing!!!!

A very common problem that we hear from surveillance system users is that the iCamViewer iPhone app for security cameras is working fine on the WIFI connection at the location of the camera, but remote access over a cellular network or WIFI from a remote hotspot outside of their network does not work. Although we are speaking about this issue in the context of the iCamViewer mobile application, the issue is very generic and also experienced with any iPhone, iPad, Android, or other mobile application. All network surveillance products such as a IP security camera, network video server, or CCTV DVR must be configured properly with port forwarding for remote access to work. This problem is typically caused by two things.


With an insecure camera system not only do you have to worry about that system being vulnerable to hacking but other devices on the network that can become vulnerable as well. According to this story in the Register, CCTV systems with backdoors can be used to attack other devices on your home or business computer network and steal sensitive information.


Using the P2P or Peer-2-Peer method for remote connection is the easiest to set up and is becoming increasingly popular. The P2P method does not require any complex networking like port forwarding, or VPN. Primarily, home consumer oriented devices use P2P as the way to remotely view because it is easy to setup with a smartphone by non-technical users.


Port Forwarding is the process of allowing certain types of internet traffic to flow through the firewall that is built into your internet router and get into your camera recorder. This process is difficult for people who have little or no IT networking knowledge as it requires logging into the internet router and making changes. We offer paid networking services which are available here on our website. This service allows one of our knowledgeable technicians to login to your computer remotely and set up port forwarding in your internet router.


VPN is relatively easy to setup on most home consumer routers and can be used on either a PC or Mac computer, or even an iPhone or Android Phone. While you are out and about and using cellular data on your phone, you can establish a VPN tunnel to your home network to securely access your camera system.


When your wireless settings or networking equipment change, the Wi-Fi cameras connected to the old network will disconnect from the internet. This is because they are still programmed with the old Wi-Fi information. Once the cameras have the new Wi-Fi information they can reconnect.

Foscam is a Chinese-owned company that offers IP security cameras, camera accessories, and network video recording equipment. While Foscam does not offer routers or other extensive home automation, like Nest or D-Link, Foscam surveillance systems integrate extremely easily into most existing home networks.


With the official Foscam mobile app, customers can set up their IP cam over their home wireless network. The app also sends real-time alerts via push notification when triggered by motion or sound and allows for remote viewing of your live feed, right from your smartphone or other mobile devices.


The main obstacles to any wireless connection are the distance to and from the router, obstructions, and interference. Network performance and speed can decline if the signal needs to travel over a large area, around corners, and penetrate walls or doors. Interference from other wireless networks and electronics can also impact speed and performance. Below are a handful of tips to help you improve and optimize your home wireless network speed. 2ff7e9595c
