#Insteon camera setup hub update

The Hub checks in at the top of the hour to update the Insteon servers with that info. What you are seeing is called the public, or external, IP address, which is your router's 'Address' on the internet. There has to be a way to differentiate people on the internet. Most people are familiar with .x, or 10.x.x.x, but everyone has it internally. Just like you have a address in the physical world, you router has a address on the internet. If you need to change it I would recommend deleting the camera from the app and starting over from scratch.ģ. ***On a side note, I would not recommend changing your PW through the Hub app after it has been installed in the app. (See YouTube) Setting the User/PW on the camera through the Hub does not affect anything else. With you enabling remote access you want to make sure that a random attacker cannot just login and scope out the location, or start talking to you. All the cameras come with a default login. Really this is for overall security in regards to camera viewing/access. I am sure you know that with DHCP on, the IP address can change which would affect your port rule and remote access ability.Ģ.

When doing a manual install, with no Hub, it is important to make sure you set a static address. The only way to verify this would be to go into the camera client->Device Management->Network Settings. The Hub app should disable the cameras DHCP ability upon set up. If you need instructions check out the link below.ġ. (Just make one camera 25110 and the other 25111) Then go into your router and set the rules.

Either way, with the SD cameras, you would still need to configure a port rule for remote viewing.īefore configuring the router go into the app and make sure the camera port is set to something other than 80. The Hub is what allows for you to control you devices remotely, or from your phone, but the Insteon folks added the ability to also view these IP cameras so that you do not have to switch between multiple apps. (Local IP and Port) The Camera Tool is just an easy way, and original way, to access the camera client directly, away from the Hub, if you wanted to use the camera's stand alone features. The camera tool is not really necessary if you get the camera into the Hub app since it will display all the same information. (2864-xxx models) Those cameras have a feature built-in called EZLink that allows for the P2P function to work.The SD cameras never had that feature and so still require a port forwarding rule to be able to view them remotely. The P2P, or Automatic Remote Access, feature will only apply to the HD cameras models for Insteon.
