Just bought a cheap one and it works surprisingly well. To use it on the net you have to register it on a server. The software will do this semi automatically so I have no idea where this server is. Presumably the camera sends data to the server and the viewer( my tablet) picks it up. But the viewer can also pan/tilt the camera so the server must be able to send to the camera. I have not had to change any router settings and I haven't set up dynamic DNS. Does this mean that the server(probably Chinese) has access to my network? Are there security implications?
