I bought a camera put it inside my home to watch over my dog when I m not there. So far it's only visible on the local network, so when I m connected to wifi, using any device I can view camera/move camera/speak to my device/listen to the other side of device all works great.
Since I m renting a modem from a service provider, they won't let me have the admin password but they would make a configuration change like open ports for camera or whatever is needed. For anyone who previously configured anything, this would be very frustrating experience to tell someone to try something and you don't even know what you're trying at first (yes it's my first configuring camera to be streamed to internet).
I really want to avoid this if possible, I'd rather go another route like how teamviewer does, bypassing the router all together. I always have at least my computer connected to wifi when I m not at home, so I can install whatever in there to be able to let my cellphone/ipad in when I m away if need be. Connecting with teamview is ok but the picture is really blurry and everything is super slow. My connection is not though.
What are my options here really? What can I do to be able to look at my dog when I m away?
1There are camera systems that don't need port forwarding rules. Lorex for example has such a system. It works by connecting to Lorex's server with an outgoing connection, your phone then connects via that server instead of directly. – Tyson – 2016-07-26T14:32:40.457
