Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

The following was mentioned:
Set your router to forward chosen port to internal IP address of DVR

Of course you set up forwarding in the router that is used where the DVR is.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Okay, I hate to be a bother, but I'm still having problems and I would ask for your assistance in this thread. I am unable to connect to my CCTV DVR. However, my problem is slightly different than most as I cannot connect to this DVR either locally or remotely, leading me to believe there is something wrong with the interaction between the PC and the DVR.


What I have:

TM8-Pro Multi-Camera DVR (more commonly known as "TM Pro 8")
Linksys BEFSR41 V3 router
PC running Windows XP
RemoteManager (remote viewer program -- more here: http://kr105556579.trustpass.alibaba...Software_.html)

What I am trying to accomplish:

View DVR from the LAN (specifically, the PC)

What I have done so far:

I have been able to establish a local static IP address for the DVR, as well as fill in the rest of the information. I have set up forwarding for the necessary ports 80 and 6100. I have also successfully installed RemoteManager. So far so good.

My Problem:

I can't connect to the DVR from the PC. I am not able to access the DVR through either a Web browser or the remote management software itself. When I attempt to connect to the local IP address through a Web browser, it attempts to reach dvrlink.net to no avail. When I attempt to use the software, I get DVR System error(1004) when attempting to connect through port 6100, or DVR System error(1003) when attempting to connect through port 80. I have tried changing the ports and after setting up forwarding to the new ports, I receive the same error messages.

Please note that these are different error messages than supplying the wrong login information or entering bad information in general. This implies that I am successfully connecting. However, since the documentation on this program is scant, I'm worried this might be a DVR software error, in which case I would be powerless to do anything with it.

At this point I've tried everything I can think of, which admittedly, probably isn't much. Can someone please help me?

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Need help to set up remote connection.

I just set a security camera in my house. I want to remotely connect to the dvr. I follow the tread on how to do port forwarding but it still doesn’t work. Please help me if I miss something. The user manual of the dvr doesn’t tell anything about port forwarding or remotely connecting the dvr. Here was what I did.
1. Connect the LAN CAT5 cable to dvr and router/modem (AMBIT U10C109) WAN port.
2. Set configuration on dvr software( the program name is CMS )






-set LAN
-set DDNS
-set PORT
3. Set port forwarding on AMBIT router/modem



(The public interface ip address I got it from whatismyipaddress.com. it doesn’t change even though I shutdown the AMBIT router/modem several times (so, I believe it’s a static ip address)

I believe this is everything.
At my office with another network, when I tried to use IE by putting this ip address http://71.xx.xxx.xxx, I got this message. "Oops Internet Explorer could not connect to http://71.xx.xxx.xxx"

I got the same message when I put this ip address http://ddns03-a5-e6.dvrdomain.com

"Oops Internet Explorer could not connect to http://ddns03-a5-e6.dvrdomain.com"


Please help!

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

It is working now. I just found out that the program requires to run activex. After I allowed it to run, I can connect to the dvr via both the CMR security monitoring program and Internet Explorer (not Firefox).

Anyway, thank you very much to everyone who contributed this useful forum.

You have to type your static ip

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Go to "whatismyip.com that will tell you what your external IP is.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Interesting post...but I still cannot view my dvr remotely after doing everything described in this post ...My dvr local ip is 192.168.11.7, and I set it up to work on port 8080. When I type 192.168.11.7:8080, I can access the dvr on my local network. When I type my Ip address (obtained from whatinsmyip.com) and :8080 I cannot access the dvr. Also, I have set up port forwarding on my router and set up an account with dyndns.com, and I am not able to access my dvr using the url I have set up through them. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Good morning.

I am very close to getting my cameras to work remotely, but am missing one setting I feel.

I had a D-link DIR300 connected to my DVR and 3 camera's via a static IP all worked great.

I had to change the router to a ASUS WL-520GU, I set the local connection up no problem. I then turned my attention to setting up the remote connection for my 3 cameras. I have got as far as getting the camera's to show locally via 192.168.1.109 and in my router settings I can see two devices using the router (my computer and the DVR) all good so far.

I can't get it to work remotely though and feel I am one setting away from that. I have a static IP.

Settings on my DVR as follows:

Network Type: Static
DDNS Link: Off
Port: 80
IP Address: 192.168.1.109
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS IP: 0.0.0.0

Do I have to change the IP address on my router (in Virtual Server Settings) to my static IP rather than 192.168.1.109 or do I need to change the IP Address on my DVR to my static IP address?

I can feel I'm soo close and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Hi .i have been reading this forum for a few weeks now and feel it is only fair that i register and reply for all the information i have gleaned and in the hope that i can help someone else.

I too have been struggling to get my cctv broadcast on the net. i have one wired camera connected to a addonics 500gb DVR ,i have it so i can view it on my own network and all works ok.

However i have tried EVERYTHING to get it to work over the net to no avail,the last stage i got to was this :

using IE ,went into router to change port forwarding and the webpage would not open after applying the settings so i contacted O2.

I was told after speaking to several people that NO ONE was qualified to talk to me about port forwarding until i eventually got put thru to a chap in Northern Ireland.He told me that he had the same problem with his fathers cctv and dvr ..

The answer he assures me is that the O2 WIRELESSBOX ROUTER (THOMPSON) IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CCTV

He told me to go and buy a NETGEAR N GAUGE ROUTER ......

My contract is up this month with O2 so i will be looking for another service provider with a better router .Hope this is of help .

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Hi. I would like to ask everyone's help in setting up our cctv at home, and would like to be viewed away from it. We have an account in DynDNS.com, and I'm using a dynamic IP.
I'm clueless about these things, and I tried to do the guide on the first page unfortunately, I had no luck. My router is a TL-WR941N. What should I do to have a success on setting this? I hope someone would at least give time to help. Thank you.

What info do I have to say other than I'm using a dynamic IP?
Am I suppose to change it as a static? If I'm suppose to change it, how do I change a dynamic ip in to static ip?

Thanks. Will wait for an answer.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

I read through that post once again. However, this is no mention of how to do this in the Airport Extreme. The DVR has IP addresses. The AirPort has MAC addresses. I can't find anywhere in the menus where I can direct the data to the DVR.

I am trying to understand this but there is a lot of information here. So much, I don't really know what it means or what may apply to my situation.

Simply put, I have a DVR hooked straight to my router (no computer). My MAC router does not show an IP address. It shows a MAC address. This is not covered in this thread.

Is there anyone or not that can shed more light?


Best,

E.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Hi, and thanks for asking let me try to help you first. what kind of dvr are you using, second also who is providing your telephone. or internet service, and finally you have to use your static IPA. or just asigned one to the dvr itself. thanks and God bless you,
any more question feel free,

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Hi, my friend epson, a mac address is assigned automatically to any equipment that is hooked to your router, so I believe, you most dedicate one and assign one to the dvr which is why it can be identifie. but it also required that your modem or router open some port, eg port 80, or port 7777. 21, or depending on the brand and manufacturer of the dvr, it will use two set of ports one for internal, connection, or local. the other for remote connection. or external,
the setting need to be adjusted in the Router, first and if you are going to assign a port to open base on mac address I believed the dvr might not work from outside, so if I am not wrong mac registering, might not work at all, with a dvr, I need more info

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

there should be somewhere within that activeX control web page to access a "control panel" or "setup" and within there you should be able to find where the default folders/directorys should be, sorry so generic, but not sure of what your software is

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Hello, first of all sorry for my poor english, i'm from greece.
I'd like to find a solution for something i'm trying to find a few days now.

I have a modem router which connects via 3g: tp-link mr3420
Also, a dvr by avtech...

I've set up the router setting for port forwarding, and i have access through my iphone and any device using 3g (i use dyndns hostname).

When i try to connect through the wifi of my home (modem airties 5440) i cannot connect to my 3g router, and get access for any of its ports. However, i have an access from any 3g device, using 3g network...

Do i have to change any of the settings of my home's router?

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

I've got a Clear Modem WIXFBR-117 and a DVR that I cant find the make/model from the box. The box states H.264DVR and also says 2MDVR-7008.

I'm needing to access this from my mobile android and iphones. Any help would be great.

I've tried using my real IP address, not the router provided, also tried the 192.168 address but neither will allow access from my mobile phones.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

A simple way of doing it for private/home use is to download "Teamviewer" and use the free version to access your home pc remotely then use the local network address.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

Once you have completed the Local Network Setup you should have an internal IP address for your DVR. The next step in the process is to forward ports pertaining to the DVR, so that you can see your cameras remotely.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

 

After you log in do you get a blank page? Or can you see the full camera display without video? If you can see the display but no video in the boxes, you're going to need to download a video codec, and your antivirus or pop up blocker isnt letting it through most security codecs may not be electronically signed or microsoft certified and are quite often blocked from even giving you the option to download. This is most common with off brand systems but I have had the same issue with samsung security codecs when trying to view from a computer with high restrictions. I would check the brands website and see if they have video codecs available for download. If you are getting a blank screen then you may need to port forward a range instead of a single port samsung requires a range of 4 ports in sequential order. Ex. 5554-5557. Some routers allow you to open a range. Some routers you have to open each port individually.
