Where do I tell tcpdump to look. tcpdump -eth0 just displays a help
file. I don't know how to use it. Ok, the man page helps.
tcpdump -i eth0 displays a lot of data as below:

tcpdump -i eth0 displays a lot of stuff but nothing I can
identify as coming from the camera. Everything comes to this
computer as Ethernet via a wireless bridge and a router
downstairs. I see stuff like below:
You can use the "host" qualifier to see just traffic to the camera.
Something like:
tcpdump -v host 192.168.1.51
That should let you catch some traffic. If needed, you can watch with a windows
program long enough to look at traffic. Don't forget to use the 'script'
command
of similar to save the output.
