I can't remember if it was on this board, or somewhere else, but I remember reading that some IP cameras are notorious for calling home a lot.
I'm wondering if any users have experienced this, if they block this action, and if so how?
I assume that I can block the camera's address (maybe at the level of my router), but still have most of the control I need even when outside of my LAN since something like Security Spy or Blue Iris or even Indigo has full access to the camera on the LAN and then has it's own (non blocked) server, right?
I think I need to take some network engineering classes. It took me several hours, with two computers and a phone, to get 1 single camera activated because its default address wouldn't play nicely with my own network.
Thanks.
