sorry buddy, a ip camera sitting idle on a network, is not using any bandwidth period. if arp requests or dhcp requests are overwhelming to the network, it was already in trouble to begin with. and its using lan bandwidth at that, not wan bandwidth, which is usually the concern
OP, get a cloud cam, you will not be able to port forward the camera any where.
this is a camera that you log into a website to check
Exactly.. If the network can't even support a few heartbeat bytes (32IIRC ?), its dead anyway.
FOSCAM does not require a static IP, and whats nice about them is if they detect a power interruption (usually when it happens) they will poll the modem for it's WAN IP and email it to you incase it changed. That happened to me in Quartzsite and it was a minor fix.
