Re: Can NetWorx monitor outgoing traffic from an IP-camera?
10 years ago, by Praxis in NetWorx Forum
OK, I see what you're doing. If you take your laptop with you to the boat then you could route the camera traffic through the laptop which would be connected to the router. You'd monitor the local network and exclude all IP addresses except the one for the router and that would show your up & down totals. At least I think you could, but not having that equipment, I can't say for sure. As f

Hi Lars, I read through the manual and there's nothing there about displaying or querying statistics (upload/download). Can you log into the router from home and check to see if it provides the Statistics that you'll need? My router provides a Statistics page which reports traffic through it's (current) 3 interfaces: 1) LAN - which I don't use so there's only Sent because it's trying to

Your initial post wasn't clear enough but I now see that the only device using the router is the camera so yes, if your router supports SNMP or UPnP, you may be able to do the following, but the router and camera are a totally different local network than your PC's local network, so that may be a big problem. Right now do you log into the camera to view a 'live feed' or just have the camera upl

Networx runs on the PC, not on the camera. Networx can monitor an interface installed in the PC which connects to the router (and that would include the PC traffic and exclude the camera traffic since the camera connects directly to the router) so you don't want this option or Networx can monitor the router itself if the router supports SNMP (and that would include both PC and camera tra

QuotePraxis I keep up/down traffic data from my router and I've seen the ratio as low as 5% and as high as 20% with most days averaging 7% to 12%, so the overall average is about 10%. It all depends on what's being up/down loaded and I don't track that much detail so I can't explain further. The ideal is to track the router using SNMP.

Re: Can NetWorx monitor outgoing traffic from an IP-camera?

If you can monitor the router then the total in/out (up/down) traffic will be reported to Networx regardless of whether the traffic is for/from the PC or the camera. Networx simply queries the router asking it to report traffic which means all traffic unless your router can differentiate and report traffic by local NAT address, i.e. by PC or camera but I'm not aware of any routers that can do tha

1) Open the Settings then press <CTRL> + O (letter Oh, not zero) gets you to the hidden options (I said menu by mistake...). The factor is the 6th one down 2) In that same hidden options are 3 options that allow you to use SNMP to communicate with your router, to get the routers statistics. -Router SNMP version -Router SNMP Community -Router poll interval I have the first and third

Hi Krishna, I've found that Networx reports lower values, consistently, when I monitor my wireless adapter connection and "ignore all local traffic". If however I monitor my router (using SNMP), Networx reports slightly higher values, which is what I prefer. My ISP provides accurate data up to 'about' 4 hours prior to checking, so I check first thing after logging in on a 'new'

Gerry, If Networx is running you should always see totals by hour that it was running regardless of whether you've 'coloured' the hours. 1) shows the setup that I just did to show you how I set the colours on my system 2) shows the Hourly tab, note the total for today 3) shows the total for today, note the total for the day in this case is the same as the hourly period for today since I jus

Hi Andrew, This happens a lot, so, what if the default was to not monitor any connection as a default and pop up a message to tell a user to select an appropriate connection? The user could read the Help file if they needed more information and thus avoid this problem by selecting the proper (for them) connection(s), perhaps with a bit of trial and error but without needing to post the questio

Quote needed a cold restart. If you'd installed a new version with new (modified) drivers then a reboot would be a good idea, true for most any software. Otherwise the 'old' one(s) continue to run and you can't use (see) the advantages of the 'new' one(s). Glad you got this sorted out, J

Hi Andrew, If he was able to check Applications just before a backup and just after, he should see a change in 'something' equivalent to the amount of data being backed up. He could control this by creating a 5MB file that he knows will be backed up. That is, if it's backed up to the 'cloud'. But crashplan allows both cloud and local drive backup and if he's configured it to local, he won't

Read the Help section for Advanced, it's quite clear. The only part that's not covered is how you change things, but that's easy, just click a 'cell', it changes colours. You can drag your cursor around and change many 'cells' very easily. The window tells you the 'time-of-day' for a 'cell' simply by hovering your cursor so it's easy to find the 8am to midnight for your 'on peak' limited pe

In your original post you said "but i need to know "per year" usage". What do you "need" it for? In your second post you said "I have data from year 2005". What have you been doing since 2005 ended to satisfy the "need"? Using the Custom tab provides you with the information. For a "year-by-year" review a spreadsheet is gre

To be honest, I'm not sure. MS states that the downloads will total XXX MB, but when I track using Speedmeter, it usually reports less. But it does report most. There's no way that I know to check accurately whether MS or Networx is correct. But if you don't see any traffic logged at all then there is something 'wrong'... but what? I know, that's your question... J

Do what I do then, create a spread sheet and enter the values once a year when the year is finished. Otherwise the developer would have to add at least 1 field to indicate when your year started as well as provide the tab. That's assuming you want the total by your billing year as is done for months. e.g. my month starts on the 28th, my year starts Mar. 28 2005, etc. And then there's the pro

No need to change the program, Use the Custom tab, set the first date to the first date of your year, the second to the last date. If you set the option to show totals at the top (in the Hidden options) the total for the year will be the first row you see, otherwise you'll have to scroll to the bottom. J

Hi Andrew, Thanks for jumping in, I only have one network so I didn't explore the reasons for having the option to either select All or just the one ticked in the big box. So to be verbose, Mike should create two Portable folders, named for example "Sprint" and "Verizon". Both Portables should start with Windows. The key is to change the Networks config so that each one
