How secure is this camera? Is there a login required to view it? If so, can you change the login credentials?

1. The camera is not safe because it can only use http. If you plan to view from outside your home you have to setup port forwarding in your router.2. Yes, username "admin" and password is empty. You should change it right away.3. Yes you can change it.

The camera is only as secure as your home network. You must be somewhat tech savvy to set up the camera. If you plan on using the mobile connection, you may have to set up a port forward in order to log on remotely. These are very good cameras for the price. Just don't expect much out of the box.

Yes, you can change the administrator's password and additionally you can setup several users with different permission sets.

This is a very secure camera. You may assign various users with separate login passwords. The main admin account does have password protection.

I'm not sure.. I can only view the camera from inside my home. POINTLESS. I'm guessing I have to call my cable company to see how to access my secure network from a different network. So as of right now, it just takes up space. I'm not tech savvy, if you are then it could be a perfect item for you.

Yes it does. You may log in to the camera directly from a web browser by accessing the IP address and http port like this - http://ip:port (ex: http://192.168.1.150:4000)

provided you only want to access it from within your home network do not bother with Port Forwarding etc. If however you wish to be able to view the cam via the internet for example when your on vacation you will need to Forward the Ports via your router personally from a security stand point I avoid things like Port Forwarding as they open your home network up to the web and potential vulnerabilities that and it's stupidly easy to do a google search for ip cameras that are accessible via the internet.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

I honestly cannot tell you my man because I tested it to check the quality of the camera first then I plugged it into the computer and it didn't want to be recognized by the computer. I had to do a little tweaking here and there and finally it was recognized and I gotta Tell you that once I saw the quality of the pictures and the video, I was so disappointed and didn't even bother using it anymore. Sorry brother

No. I have not found a way. You have to log into the camera through the app.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. A friend that bought it will probably be returning this camera because of the lack of that feature. :(

Yes you can. The setup is not easy, but not difficult as well. You can setup different users and passwords to give to various individuals. Careful, they can control the camera and move it around. You need to set those restrictions before hand. My wife works at night as an RN and checks on the baby periodically during the night. She also catches a glimpse of me sleeping.

Software is included. It was either on a disk or built into the camera, can't remember... you'll login to the system over your local network and set it up.as far as updating firmware or software, I have had zero luck. If you figure it out please post

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

The camera is very easy to set up. All the setup is dome with switches. No security. Russell

Using iSpy Security camera software. (Free - open source). Way better than blue iris!

I honestly haven't tried that. There is a usb connection and some other types, but I just don't know. I have seen strangers pull up to my house and then abruptly leave after spotting the cameras though.
