Security camera and remote/cloud access
This may have been covered in the past but my pain is fresh and I want to know if anyone has a solution. So I just had HughesNet installed yesterday and to my unpleasant surprise (after spending 2.5...

I just wanted to update the community regarding my issue connecting to a camera via HughesNet. After a bunch of reading, I picked up an Arlo Pro two camera system. I'm up and running and I must say, the setup was much easier than expected. No special steps, just follow the instructions. You can view remotely and you have a free 1GB 7 day rolling cloud storage. I've set my motion detections so that the cameras are armed at night and when I choose to check up on things. I'm going to keep a close eye on data usage and adjust accordingly. I hope this helps others and possibly tech support at HughesNet considering they stated it was not possible.
Hello 567Chief,
Thanks for posting. This will definitely help us and other users in the future. Please continue to keep the community updated on your system performance and data usage.

I just signed up for Hughes Net last week and I was also told by customer service that the reason I can't connect to my camera (Flir FX which is Cloud Based but only one when I leave and noise is made by my dogs) is because Hughes Net doesn't support this kind of device because they require a Static Ip address. This information totally confused me as I was previously running this camera off my Boost Mobile Hot Spot before what I thought was upgrading to Hughes Net? Do I really have to cancel my service and go back to a Hot Spot in order to keep my camera up and running. Please Help!

What resolution are you trying to stream your camera in?

Also, you might want to try disabling Web-Acceleration as a last final step to see if that helps.1: Visit http://192.168.0.1 in your web-browser.
2: Click the "i" icon at the top of the HT1100/2000w System Control Center (also known as the SCC). It is highlighted in red in the image below.
3: Click on "Web Acceleration" then "Control" outlined in red.
4: Click on "Web Acceleration Enabled", this will change to an orange button that says "Web Acceleration Disabled".
5: Restart your browser and try using the service that isn't working, please let us know how that works for you.- I didn't find this earlier, because I'm not having any problems. I was just looking to see if there was a recommended or better camera for satellite and found this.
We've been using DLink on a Gen 3 since July of 2016. Our only issue was when DLink pushed firmware updates about a year ago (we had to switch to static ip's vs dhcp internally then all good again). Intermittently the mydlink app won't see one camera, then a few minutes later it is there. Usually it works fine. I put a Raspberry Pi on site, running VNC (free). I use the mydlink app 99% of the time, and the VNC has never had any issues when the app does. We record locally, and do not stream the data unless we are actively viewing. Uses very little data.
