CCTV using DDNS - Some clarifications needed

[niravjadwani]

Dear Friends,

Have successfully installed DVR, 16 cameras, and connected same to DDNS via DahuaDDNS.

I have also setup it to view on Mobile, via android app.

What I am unable to identify is, amount of data used by such connection, when not being viewed by internet. I mean, when not in use. Is it automatically uploading all the stream data continuously, or is that Query based, waiting for someone to log on before uploading the data?

I need to know, because I care for the data (I am on limited Connection!!)

Data being uploaded needs to have a destination(either an online/offline storage or an ip). There should not be any data usage when one is not logged on/connected remotely to CCTV.
