P2P connection IP camera

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Could anyone tell me how p2p server works? Does IP camera send continuously stream to server, or only when client connect to it?

 

Thanks!

Then, I guess we can call it a hybrid P2P. In that case, what would happen to the DVR/camera access if the manufacturer stops hosting the central servers or simply goes out of business?

As I understand correctly, when I use p2p, server plays role only to connect my phone and IP camera??

 

I have mobile app, suggested by vendor. There I scan QR code using phone camera, but is there any solution to do the same on PC (Windows)??
