Data Caps from ISP and Geovision Remote viewing

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Help please

 

We have used Geovision for a decade, no issues. but

 

our Telus ISP connection sucks

because of bad architecture in the business' building

 

we were getting about 5 Mb/s download, 0.3 Mb/s upload

 

now

 

we are changing ISP's

and as of tomorrow, will be getting 30 Mb/s download, but the important one is we are getting 5 Mb/s upload

 

which we want for remote camera viewing

 

we have 16 cams on motion detect

 

and I 'think' we save away more than 300 Gb in a 25 days period on the HD before it recycles

 

here is my question:

 

Our ISP just told me that our new plan has a 300 Gb data cap

 

I asked them if we exceed that, will we not be able to remotely view our cameras?

 

they said no, we would just get an alert

 

do you think this is going to be an issue?

 

and does the upload data only count as uploaded data when we are remotely logged in and viewing?

 

thanks

Dennis

well

 

 

update:

 

I just called my old ISP and they said that over the last few months, our max data use was 200 Gigs

 

my new cap is 300, so I am ok

 

and, I also heard that in Canada, the CRTC has ordered ISP's not to disrupt people's service if they go over

 

thanks
