How IP Addresses Work on Camovue

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is used to connect to the Internet and identify devices so that computers, like desktops, mobile devices, and servers, can communicate with each other.

An IP address is assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider, such as your cable, telephone, wireless, or carrier company, and is a requirement to use the internet. IP addresses allow computers on the internet to recognize one another and exchange websites or services. When you visit a website, like camovue.com, your Internet Service Provider uses your IP address to ensure that google.com opens on the device you're using.

How Camovue Uses Your IP Address

When you visit the Camovue website or use Camovue services, some features or services may be localized based on your IP address, such as displaying product prices or availability on the website.

For security purposes, your IP address will be logged in the session activity logs, such as when an IP logs into your account. Camovue does not store this information in plain text; it is kept as anonymized data.

To Provide Local Results Using Your Location

IP addresses are roughly mapped to geographic locations, similar to phone number area codes. This means that any app or website you use, including camovue.com, can estimate your general location based on your IP address. When Camovue estimates the general area that you’re in, Camovue can provide you with results that are relevant for where you are.

I Don’t Recognize This Location

While we try to make sure that we can correctly show the general area for activity in your Reolink account, sometimes you might find activity from locations that aren’t your actual location. This usually happens when you use your account on a mobile network, but it can happen on other networks as well. If the location listed is very far away, or you’re unsure if the activity was yours (for example, you don’t recognize the device or the browser that was used), we recommend updating your password, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), or logging out of any unfamiliar sessions to help protect your account.

What an IP Address Looks Like

Your IP address will look something like 203.0.**.**.

When you search "What is my IP" on Google, you’ll receive the IP address of the computer or device you used for the search.
