Are you seeing him connected to the BT Openzone network?

Your ip’s should be 192.x.x.x and Openzone users are allocated 10.x.x.x

I think that’s how it works, two totally separate networks afaik.

Hang on, that looked like you had a BT router before the edit.

Ignore me then.

Type the ip of the camera into your browser address bar, (use ie8) see what you come up with

Should display a hik vision login page

Invariably, user name will be admin, depending on the setup , password may be 12345

You will then be able to see what it's looking at and work out where it is

Or just block it, they're usually wired due to bandwidth, but proper odd. Before you block it, do a little detective work. If you can log in, the fun can really start. You can seize control of the nvr, then change the camera settings and passwords remotely and disable the system

Good luck

I reckoned this could be more innocent than it appears. It makes no sense that someone would hack another wifi network to put a CCTV camera on it. All they would see is what the camera is looking at, the same images whatever network it was on.

The only benefit I can see is free data usage, but a little extreme if it is the reason.

If someone had hacked your wifi, the last thing they would want you to see is an obvious trail to them!!

Maybe the router that was sent to you by your network provider was a reconditioned unit? Possibly still had a static IP address programmed into it by the last owner?

As previous poster said, what happens when you enter the IP of the camera into the address bar?
