I got the relatively cheap camera, and ran it through setup. It is looking at the 'test' area in my back yard. I can get to it via the app on my phone, but cannot for the life of me find a valid IP address.
I went to my router's admin page (netgear) and see all 31 of the IP addresses it has assigned to the hard wired and the wireless connections, with one exception. The ONLY address it says is <unknown> must be the one for the camera, which disappears when I terminate the app on the phone. I poked around in the app on the camera in a settings area, and found a bunch of stuff, including what the app thinks is the IP address, which confuses me. I don't recall setting up a path through the router to allow incoming access to any of my devices, but it somehow must have done it.
Here's the confusing part. All my router assigned addresses are the expected "192.168.1.xxx" However, the IP given by the app's page says that the address sit has is 192.168.10.[/b].144 !
I have never seen a third field address that isn't a 0 or 1. When I enter that into my browser it tells me that it cannot reach that address. Very frustrating.
Some time ago, when dealing with setting up a Blitzortung RED lightning sensor, there was mentioned a little app that will scan the entire router attachments looking for and reporting the IP addresses. For the life of me I cannot recall that app's name (which is OK sometimes I cannot recall my kid's names either without thinking) and it was quite a few years ago when I set that up. I wonder if anyone knows of programs which will show a list of attached IPs?
Also, maybe the browser (Brave) just can't find it. I had an early version of SeaMonkey which hadn't been updated to block out the old ways of getting images from cameras, and if I can find that on another old computer, may try that to see if there is a way to watch the images, but I assume WeatherHost is using updated, secure browsers, not some older form.
Just rambling, but hoping someone can see the obvious that I'm missing. Thanks Dale
