I'm afraid I don't understand why having security cameras requires a 24/7
Internet connection. Is he sending the images off-site, or trying to access
them remotely?
Is his IP address static or dynamic?
Can he still ping the modem/router when it's in this state?
"MO connections"? Sorry, not a term I recognize.
"email and browse" What email program? What browser? WHAT ERROR MESSAGE?
