Dubious IP addresses and Co ...

!! UPDATE July 2013 !!
As my old review was "moved" to the new HooToo models, here's a little update:
Meanwhile, the new HD models HT-IP210F, HT and HT-IP210HD IP210HDP are available. These can be the built-in Dynamic DNS service off, this could be the previous model HT-IP206 not, to which this review has originally based.
Whether the new cameras still contact with Asian servers receives (eg alarm activation), I have not tested, it will supply later if necessary!

Hey, after all the turmoil here on "contacts with dubious Hong Kong servers" I've looked at the whole thing accurately and want the results for which it is interested briefly give here the best:

First of all the camera has a built HooToo DynDNS service that does not also can be switched off. So to keep your (usually changing) IP always up to date, (port 80) is approximately every 4 to 5 minutes, a [...] based on the following servers: 58.64.200.47 ([...])

The query looks like this: [...] 277 GET /vipddns/upgengxin.asp?username=XXXXXXX&userpwd=XXXXXXX&userdomain = [...] [...]

the XXXE be naturally replaced by your respective settings.
Do not worry, the contents of 'username' and 'USERPWD' correspond to but not the login information for the camera web interface, but are probably generated in the camera is fixed and stored values ​​purely for updating the DynDNS.

The Cipcam domain is registered to the company "Internet Data Centre", and the two names Ivan Wong Kwong Ming & Wong, the boys live in Hong Kong and their website is [...]

Furthermore, the camera uA connect from 114.36.147.247 (or 114-36-147-247.dynamic.hinet.net) on port to accept an attempt at boot 445, which is assumed here that it is dynamic IP addresses and change this. They all belong to HiNet, a provider from Taiwan.
Your inquiry will be blocked by default, except for the port 445 was released in the router.
The requesting server seems a so-called "Jet Vision Client" and is working on port 1940. For this purpose, you will find the following on the Internet:

"JETVision Express is designed to Provide advanced quality and integrity control for any business process or production system did requires monitoring or tracking.
JETVision Express Provides a comprehensive selection of machine vision modules ranging from simple Operations Performed with a single camera to very complex operations using one or more cameras. "([...])

Well remotely sense a camera control software. What should we think of it, I can not judge now.

In any case, you can block the DynDNS-related IP address without hesitation, without losing your camera. Most definitely use anyway their own DynDNS service.
However annoying or much "conspicuous" are in my opinion the connection attempts from Taiwan. Blocks to this, however, no longer works, among others, the alarm triggering.

For the rest of the camera everything was actually described in detail here, my main positive / negative points still short overview. Cleverly was my model HT-IP206.

+ Further swivel range, motor is very quiet
+ Auto-patrol mode lets the camera automatically "scan" the environment
+ Very strong night vision mode, "lighted" 6-7 meters easily in total darkness
(Assuming network basic knowledge) + all configuration options easily accessible, more opportunities in the web interface than expected
+ Fixed Link for a current still picture, convenient for further use in their own projects and applications ([...])
+ Price

- Above IP contact to Hong Kong or Taiwan
- Really useful only with Internet Explorer available (in other browsers without ActiveX missing much of the control and transmission features). Requires unsigned ActiveX Steuerlement of "unknown publisher".
- After booting the camera looks by default at the ceiling, rather than take the last position (or perhaps a stored)

Neutral points:

/ Image Quality: I find acceptable daytime and at night thanks to the Excellently IR illumination very convincing. Statements such as "how to build in 2012, only a 0.3MP camera" I can not understand, because at that price you can now firstly really no FullHD technology expected, and secondly, I do not have to turn professional before the camera films, but want to only see what happens, and that can be very good!

/ WLAN crashes occur occasionally, but the camera is then quickly back and you do not need to re-log in the web interface unless you had logged in before. The image is black and come back shortly.

Conclusion: Since all cameras offered seem to have any teething problems in this price range, I will probably be satisfied with this, as it represents the best compromise for me. Other models are obviously "even" worse or much too expensive for my circumstances.
