Can IP Camera use it as a ftp storage device?

The P2R 100 does function as a Ftp server. I will say it should work. I was able to setup it up as a ftp server and also as a Samba server

It is not the camera that records it is a software that is provided and yes the Foscam IP camera come with software call IP setup software to access the camera software for setup. The IP software will record and also has motion detector setting. You can also use for recording ispy and Blue Iris. This connect to Internet network that's either a switch or a router by using the cable RJ45 cat5. Set up the camera and you prefer set up your wireless connection then disconnect the cable after setup and see if you're on WiFi.

You are looking for an IP camera. No, this is not an IP camera that allows for remote access. This is a small, portable, self contained time lapse camera.

I guess you can, that is if you can ever get the dang thing to work. I never had any luck with it. I just ended up buying an IP camera and using my monitor when I wanted to see what's going on.

You can do both at the same time. I found this freeware called "ContaCam". this is perfect for this ip cam!! but of course, you need a camera server, but if you don't want camera server, do it on dlink cloud, you can still view but just cant constantly record it (with motion detection).

The TriVision cameras are capable of writing to a Windows compatible NAS or FTP, as long as you did not need to install any software on the Windows computer to be able to access the USB storage on the router. So, if you want to try using the router's USB storage, the following might work (note that I cannot verify that these steps work with your router): 1. In the camera's web configuration pages, click Storage at the right, then click Storage Setup. 2. Change the "Store to" setting to NAS. 3. In the "NAS remote path" box type: "//readyshare" (do not type the "") 4. If you are typically prompted to enter a username and password to access the USB storage, then change the Authorization setting to Yes and enter the username and password into the appropriate boxes. 5. Click Apply. If the camera was able to connect to the USB storage, it should have created an IPCAMERA folder on the router's USB storage location, along with a couple of additional folders inside - the IPCAMERA folder might not appear until the camera tries to record a video. If the above method did not work, double-check the username and password requirements. You might also try creating a camera folder on the router's USB storage location, and in step #3 above you would then specify (not that upper and lower case letters might matter here): //readyshare/camera If the above simply will not work, don't forget to change the "Store to" location back to the "SD Card" and click Apply.

Sure. If you have different 16 cameras you can view them internally by their IPs. Externally you will have to map them to different ports as you probably only have 1 externall IP.

Camera isn't wireless and like most, if not all IP cameras, can be port forwarded on your router for remote viewing. One caveat though, make sure you pay attention to the minimum lighting requirement

The camera does support RTSP, I'm using it to record to my NAS. Looks like IP Camera Viewer uses RTSP as well.

I just read the book and set up my three camera with individual fixed IP addresses and individual ports, I.E. 192.168.1.20 on port 1025, 192.168.1.21 on port 1026 and 192.168.1.22 on port 1027. To reach each camera via the internet, you just have to type your IP address followed by :1025 or :1026 or :1027 (no spaces between the last digit of the IP address and the colon) Each device must have it's own individual IP address, irregardless of being wired or wireless. To reach a camera while you are on the home network just type the IP address and port number into any browser, i.e. 192.168.1.20:1025. To reach a camera from anywhere on the internet type in your ISP given IP address and add :1025 or :1026 or :1027 to view each individual camera. For the examples I used the internal IP address format of 192.168.1.XX. My internet provider's router always uses the format 192.168.1.XXX. Some ISP's use 192.168.0.XXX, so you should check the IP of any device connected to your home network to see what the IP address format is. As far as I know, these cameras are IP based devices. The have a built in web server and the only connections they support are web browsers or/and FTP. FTP is when the camera constantly uploads video to another computer via FTP (file transfer Protocol). The computer must be running FTP server software. Any Windows computer can run FTP client software. I am not a video guru, but there might be DVR recorders out there that can use ethernet connections and accept FTP, but that is out of my field. Hope this helps.

You could but you should know that the bandwidth of ip cameras can consume a lot. So depending on how many you intend to use and also the configuration of the AP's (how many will be repeating) it can bog things down quickly. Remember that if you are repeating, it takes away half of available bw for each time you repeat.

Hello. Yes you can record on local HDD. Or go to foscam website and download this user manual--01_IP Camera User Manual_English. Thanks

You can set this camera to record a short video clip when it detects motion using the Foscam IP Camera Tool program. The problem is you have to keep the window open in IE all the time or it won't record. I use Blue Iris software to manage my video cameras and much prefer that to the IP Camera Tool.

Don't see why not, but you would still need some way to get power to the camera. For example, you could use the belkin F7D4555 adapter, which goes for like $15 from bensoutlet, but you would have to supply power to the adapter and the ip cam as well

The ip camera doesn't need to record to a DVR and don't need to hardwired to the DVR . it can send video via wifi to a PC or FTP server , NAS and Email account .

Foscam firmware can usually write to an FTP server. This isn't as advanced as it sounds, and you could use a raspberry pi or something as the FTP server. It can take a single picture per second.Another thing you can do is use software like VLC which is a video player. You can right click the foscam's video feed in your web browser and click "Copy image address", then open VLC and press CTRL+V (to paste) and VLC will open the stream. More advanced users could figure out how to save a compressed video file from these two hints.Hope this helps other people!
