I have made a mistake, please help me - IP camera problem

I bought ZMODO IP CAMERA online ZM-W0002 and the problem is

1. I can not access WITH LOCAL IP OF CAMERA

2. Their firmware doesnt allow to access camera with local ip

3. I spoke with ZMODO, they will not open setting to view locally.

Only way to view camera is through their APPLICATION andoird/iphone etc. and if you want to view camera on computer or browser, You need to open INTERNET and then OPEN THEIR website and then you need to enter login id and password and then you can see camera from anywhere in the world.

They locked their cameras so that THEY CAN MAKE PEOPLE BUY THEIR CLOUD SERVICE FOR RECORDING VIDEOS FROM IP CAMERAS.

Is there any way I can view camera at local network without INTERNET?

I tried copying packets from ANDROID PHONE to see where the camera is making connection to and I tried connecting at that address but it will not open, please see screenshot attached.

Any help is really appreciated
