Features
Read full description

BlueCam is a P2P (peer-to-peer) monitoring software for network cameras. Using advanced P2P technology, the camera can eliminate the cumbersome port mapping on the internal network, and truly plug and play! Software features: 1. Identify each camera by a unique ID. When the user uses it, just set the ID number of the camera to be viewed. 2. No port mapping is required. After the device accesses the Internet, the device can watch the real-time video of the device through the mobile phone client, completely eliminating the traditional port mapping mode and the problem that some networks cannot perform port mapping. 3. For cameras that cannot establish a P2P connection, the system forwards the video through the forwarding server, and truly achieves 100% connection.
