Video Data Transmit

Post by RAMCREST644 »

When I setup a NVR with P2P, does the video data go to the AMCREST's server? or just IP address info?

because when I set it up and I see the cable modem are lot of activates but no one login and see the video... which worried me.

Thanks

In P2P the only function of the connection when your not making a current connection is to tell a Server your systems UUID and then when you use your phone or tablet and or ASP to make a connection to said P2P connection it will Ping the Server(s) and when one answers that it is in charge of the hand off the Server starts a Connection to your device to your phone there is nothing between the 2. It is only a Connection from your Phone to your NVR..

Now if you use Amcrestview.com or the Amcrest Cloud then the data would transfer from your system to the servers for a set time or for your in use time and uses P2P for the connection.. There will be loads of Traffic even when your not making a connection. IF your worried about it, Set your NVR for illegal Log in to the lowest you can as each system is different some are 3 some are 5 tries I then lock out longest that I can as well. I also alert (Alarm) and Log the event
Here to help the best I can.
