Re: Security camera and remote/cloud access
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.27KViews2likes6CommentsRe: Security camera and remote/cloud access
Thanks Corrosive! Can you or anyone confirm if you can look at the Nest camera remotely at a live feed with HN? Is it possible to configure minimal uploads to the cloud? I use my system to keep a check on my animals when I'm away and I would think someone has figured out a good workaround.27KViews0likes1CommentSecurity 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 hours on the phone with D-Link camera support) I've been told that HughesNet will not support a cloud based remote access camera. I took things a step further and called HughesNet tech support and a manager confirmed that there are no cameras/configurations that will make that happen. Needless to say, I'm ill. I've read some about working things via IPv6 vs v4 but I'm not too clear on how to pull that off. Has anyone found a decent camera and a work around to this? If it matters, I'm using the HT200W router modem. I'm not super tech savvy so if you have a solution, I'll need a far amount of detail. Thanks!28KViews0likes12Comments
