We recently installed (10) Direct connect color outdoor dome cameras. The specs are:
1/3" Sony super had ccd
560TV lines
NTSC/DUAL
DC auto iris varifocal lens 2.8-12mm

The image looks terrible at night and has some sort of haze in the center of the image. We have done at least 150 of these cameras before with no issues.

We replaced them once already and the manufacturer has no idea what is going on.

It is what I am looking for. Thank you very much.

Unable to connect to server.Please verify its current IP address and Port Number.I get this error when I try to connect via Remoteview log Geovision.When I connect through Multiview I can see the cameras without any problem but when I try with remote view log I get that error.What could be the problem,where am I wrong?The cameras` ips are static and I forwarded ports 4550,5550,6550,80 on my router

I would look into this camera, it supports most all the functions you are looking for and the tech support behind it can help you program in those functions.

Geovision PTZ

Although a static ip would be a quick and easy solution to your problem there are other alternatives. I would take a look into a dynamic ip service such as DYN DNS

As far as using "Log Me In", it is a remote access program but does not explicitly support streaming video. Will it work? Yes. But the video will most likely stutter to the point where its not a viable solution. Try the dynamic dns service as this will give you a direct line into the DVR (assuming the dvr supports this feature).

Hello,

Please see the below instructions on how to configure Port Forwarding rules on your SMC8014WN router / gateway.

1.) Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 in the URL. [User name: cusadmin Password: password]

2.) Click the NAT button over to the left. Now you should see the Port Forwarding option. Please click / select.

3.)Now you will need to fill in the blanks.

Name: This is just for your reference this can be anything.
Type: This depends on your DVR / Camera / Equipment. Typically this is TCP
LAN Server IP: This is going to be the device you are wanting to access remotely IP address [DVR , Cameras ETC.]
Remote IPs: Set to Any
Public IP Ports: Single
Start Public Port: Port # your equipment [DVR , Cameras ETC.]
Start Public Port: Port # your equipment [DVR , Cameras ETC.] Same as above.

4.)Now Press the Apply button [If you have multiple ports repeat step 3 as needed]

5.)Now lets check and make sure the port is open. Go to http://dvrport.net. [This needs to be done while onsite with the equipment]

-Leave the IP address, dvrport.net will automatically fill this in with the correct Remote IP Address.
-In the Enter Port To Scan section type the port # in you are trying to open.
-Press the Scan button.

6.) If the port is open you will use the Remote IP Address you get from the http://yougetsignal.com. However you will need to type it in as follows via web browser http://ipaddress:port number, eg. if your ip address is 74.96.36.98 than it should look like this when you type it into your web browser http://74.96.36.98:8000.

Please us know if you have any questions.

Hi guys,

I'm setting up remote viewing for a friend and I don't have any problems setting up a static PRIVATE Ip address within his private network, doing the port forwarding, etc. What I'm wondering is, for REMOTE viewing, do I need to LEASE a static IP from the ISP?

As far as I know, if the IP address renews itself (on the ISP side) and changes, then we will not be able to view the cameras remotely. Any ideas?

I was thinking of a workaround for this, if it is so, but if you guys have better ones, PLEASE let me know :)

My workaround: Setup a static ip within the private network, have the cameras being viewed from a computer ON THE PRIVATE NETWORK. Use LogMeIn to access that computer from OUTSIDE the network to view the cameras THROUGH that computer.

Thanks

Hi,

Hi experts,
I would like to get your opinion and recommendation about a good PTZ camera.
1st major requirement is to be able to move smoothly and continuously between several pre recorded presets. i.e. I would like to capture 3 points, then let the camera move from P1, to P2, to P3 with a defined speed and acceleration.

2nd most important requirement is to adjust to speed and location/zoom changes: for example, to be able to control the camera (by code, not interactively), to move to points "near" the recorded points (e.g. 1 deg left from P1 with speed that is x1.2 faster than the recorded speed).

All is done via code, except first points capturing.

I found out that Axis Communication and Sony cameras cannot do it - both force delays and stop when reaching P1, P2, P3.

Any idea if there are other brands that may support mentioned requirements?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

I have a H.264 DVR and I think I have everything set up so that I can view it over my network. I installed the active x control and get to the login page.

I have checked that the control port is set to 5050 and the username is admin and I changed the password is 000000.

I get a small pop up with the title "Prompt" and the message login failed everytime.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

I have installed 2 cameras and need help opening the ports on a Time Warner Router SMC Networks made model number SMC8014WG. Thank you for all your help.

Did you configure "port forwarding"?

How did you "open" the ports?

It looks like your using an external IP ADDRESS for your DVR instead of a Local IP address ex 192.168.1.103.

The gateway and the DNS should match which type of IP address the Device is using.

TRY

IP ADDRESS: 71.242.244.103
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 71.242.244.1
DNS: 71.242.0.12

OR

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.103
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.15

TO CHECK WHAT YOUR SETTINGS ARE GOTO:

START>RUN>CMD>ipconfig/all

you should learn something there.

Can anyone help please? :[

Hello all.

I'm having trouble configuring a DVR for remote viewing. I'm not exactly sure what to put in the network fields in the DVRs configuration menu. This is what I have:

IP ADDRESS: 71.242.244.103
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1 -OR- 71.242.244.1
DNS: 192.168.1.15 -OR- 71.242.0.12


My ISP provided me with a static ip address, it's default gateway, and it's DNS Primary/Secondary.

My DVR is connected via ethernet to a modem/router combo and I'm not sure what I should put in the fields above in order to access it over WAN. I'm mostly concerned with what to put in the GATEWAY and DNS fields.

I also read up that I should assign a local ip address to my dvr (disable DHCP) for when I forward the ports needed (3100 and 9000) no errors will occur later on. However, even though my DVR is hooked up to my router it does not come up as a connected device.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

A cell phone jammer is a device that emits signals in the same frequency range that cell phones use, effectively blocking their transmissions by creating strong interference. The phone will simply indicate poor reception strength. It is a good product to help the people block the mobile signals within a certain range relying on the capacity of the device. And it is very useful with a main function to control the phone signals for people.

Nowadays, the cell jammers are widely used in people's life. The device can be used for many places where the peaceful environment is desired. For the commercial business, they can use it for their important conference. We can confirm that it can avoid the accidents because there is someone forgetting to switch off their mobile phone.

They can help people enjoy a kind of self-peace and keep safe for them. There are a large variety of phone jammers on the market and different cell phone jammers have different usages. The cell phone jammers specially designed for military are very large with high power feature. Some of the cell phone jammers can interfere with the working of the GPS; we also called this kind of jammer GPS jammer. Of course, there are cell phone jammers which can be used to block the signals of WIFI and others.

You can have a cell jammer as it is the best way to keep peace around you.

Hello,

Please see below setup instructions on how to setup Port Forwarding on a ZyXEL Router.

1.) Open a web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1

2.) It will prompt you for the username and password. By default Username: admin Password: 1234

3.) Now Click on the NAT link.

4.)There should be a dot in the SUA Only setting. If this isn't the case, you can not setup port forwarding without making a major change to your network. I wouldn't advise changing this unless you know what you are doing. Alright, if there is a dot in the SUA Only setting, go ahead and click Edit Details.

5.) Now fill in the following info:

Start Port: The port # of your Camera/DVR
End Port: Same as start port
IP Address: The LAN [internal IP address] IP address for your Camera/DVR

6.) When you're finished, click Save near the bottom of the screen to save your changes

7.) Now make sure the port is open with the following open port forwarding checker tool: http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool

NOTE: If the port is open you will use the Remote IP Address you get from the open port tool that you used above. However you will need to type it in as follows via web browser http://ipaddress:port number, eg. if your ip address is 74.96.36.98 than it should look like this when you type it into your web browser http://74.96.36.98:8000.

Hello
I can access my 4 channel drv from lan AND wan but I can not see any images from wan.
I think that I have to forward another port (default is 80) but I don't know which one.
My DVR's about screen is this.

Thank you

1.) Log into Comcast router by typing http://10.1.10.1 in your web browser. [ By default the Username: cusadmin Password: highspeed]

2.) Once you are logged into the Comcast router go to Firewall > Port Configuration > Press "Add New" Button

2a.) Fill in the following:

Application Name: Whatever you like.
Port Range: Port number of DVR /camera [If you have multiple DVR/cameras you will need to make a separate rule for each camera. Each device will need a unique port number. Cannot have multiple devices with the same port number]
Protocol: Both
IP Address: The IP address of your DVR / Camera

NOTE: If your DVR/Camera is using port 80 you will want to change this to another port since Comcast does not like port 80.

Apply settings.

3.) Now make sure the port is open http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool

NOTE: If the port is open you will use the Remote IP Address you get from the check open port tool. However you will need to type it in as follows via web browser http://ipaddress:port number, [eg. if your ip address is 74.96.36.98 and your port is 8000 than it should look like this when you type it into your web browser http://74.96.36.98:8000.

this is my last ditch effort to try to get the cheap China made system to work and I know I'm close. I can access my surveillance system using LAN IP address. But when I'm on my neighbors wireless network and I try to access it using WAN IP address it gets to video login screen and I don't have an password set up yet and hit OK, it just says cannot find device. In the LAN IP address I get that login screen and hit ok and brings my 4 cameras right up. I have Time Warner as my internet provider and they only offer a dynamic IP address so I've set up an free account with DYNDNS and have set all of that up with my Linksys router. I've been trying to get this to work for over a month and even had a security system guy out to my house yesterday and he just said the same thing, that I am close but he didn't know why it couldn't find the device. My port forwarding is set up as 80 (the suggested default my dvr instruction say to put it at). Please provide me with any advice or things to try before I throw it in the garbage.

Hi All,
I had the same problem with the Admin and password on remote access. The solution was to open ALL the ports on the router that the DVR uses not just the sign on ( usually 80 ). On my DVR the ports were in the ranfe 3356 to 3360 ). That done all worked fine.

Hope it works for some of you guys.
Lancelot.

Hi everybody,

my problem is quite similar.
Sometimes I'm able to login from internet to my DVR and in other not!
The message is always frustrating: Login .... Failed!!!

Can you help me please?
Are you aware of any new version of the OCXdvr_cab i.e. bugfixing these kind of problem?

Many thanks

Is there some kind of access that I can see my video image but not accessing the DVR´s owner software?
I dont need to download activex or have access to controls , settings, menus,..., of DVR´s owner software.
I only need the camera video on webpage.
like this
http://leme.dyndns.tv
A simple webpage with camera image (in html code), without download activex, without login, without controls,...

How can I do that ?

Thanks

Hi Anthony
Thanks very much for your help, I will give it a try, today I found that by lowering the quality on the DVR, I get bad streaming when my upload speed is above 300 kb/s. My max upload is 384 kb/s, which I think may be a part of my problem.
I will keep on messing about with it.
Regards
Eric

Hello mcepb,

In order to get dynamic images from a network other than your own, try configuring your DVR on another port rather than 8080. Preferably one that is supported by your router as well. You also may visit our knowledge base on configuring Netopia routers at
http://www.netopia.com/support/hardware/technotes/CQG_025.html

Thank you,

Anthony

I have just set up a 4 video DVR, and can access it from my laptop when I am on the same network, and the video streams fine. However, from a different network, when I log in, I get a picture from the cameras which then does not change. The time log in the top corner of each camera stays static. If I check that the port is open (port 8080), on http://www.canyouseeme.org, it is open. I did look at a tutorial on youtube, and they said to also forward port 2000 as it is the data port.... however my router will not allow this (motorola netopia) Any ideas?
Thanks
Eric

Hi, I've just downloaded the JM Intergrated Remote Station, version 1.0.1.56 and tried to get it to work. I've entered the site information through IRS setup and saved it. When I go to Viewer, it says Connection Established but I don't see anything on the screen? How do I fix it? Please let me know.

I have a client with a laptop running Windows 7. He is using a Bell HSPA Novatel U547 to access the Internet to views his cameras. The DVR is a NP-DXHD16. The HTTP and RTSP ports are configured correctly. He can view video on the laptop if he wired direct to a router in his home, or connected wirelessly. However when he uses the turbo stick away from home he cannot see any video. He hits the DVR, logs in and get the DVR page. However all camera screens are black, almost the same as you would get if the RTSP port wasn't configured. However, there is no error message. Any ideas?

Hi my name is billy and I have a gv 800 ,for some reason I can only acsess my cameras when I'm on the same wifi network, but soon as get home it gives me a connection failed. I called my service provider about setting up my port forword so I opened all the port that were on the install folder but still no luck. Anyone know what's wrong please help.

[i]so even if i swap to windows DDNS, i still need to run a computer constantly to update. i see the only way around this is to get a static line?

I bought a cheap unbranded wireless IP cam from eBay, from China. It works okay basically but in a limited way. The biggest problem is management software.

I would like to buy more of them. But I need to control them.

They provide software called 'Collect Client' in your WinXP Program List and 'Pc Camera Control Centre' when it is opened.

With this I should be able to control up to 32 cameras at once. See them all onscreen. Do all sorts of things. But I can't even get it to see my one single wireless IP, nor any of the simple webcams attached to my Lan.

Looking around I think it is probably a Foscam F18918W or clone of it. That's what it looks like. You can google them and see plenty of them.

And when I go to look at it from the internet (as distinct from looking at it from within my Lan, which works fine, using its local IP and port number) I reach it okay and get the menu which allows selecting from three modes of operation - one for IE, one for such as Firefox and one for mobile phones. But whichever I select I fail to get a picture.

Which I think is pretty shabby because I can get a perfect streamed video picture of a cheap little webcam via Yawcam set up on the Lan from my mobile phone, my cellphone. All I have to do is enter my external IP number and the port number for the streaming video from that cellphone and bingo... an IP camera.

So it strikes me as something I shouldn't tolerate in future purchases, not being able to see a video from these more ambitious kind of cameras.

Anyway, there it is, guys.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with:

1. Software (preferably freeware) I can use to manage this particular Wireless IP cam (and future ones).

2. Any info/advice anyone has on why I can't see this thing on my cell. I think it is perfectly well available to the web on pc's. I haven't got one (off my lan) to test with. You can test if you like. It should be at 203.171.115.83:99

3. Any info/advice anyone might have about this particular cam. What brand is it? Where can I find a manual that is better than the thing they provided? Like how am I to use the audio plug there in the front? Plug what in? Just any old microphone?

regards,

ab

philcaam,

What device are you using to update the DDNS service? If your camera or DVR is not doing a god job of updating DynDNS, then you may want to try using this free windows DDNS updater / client:

http://dyn.com/support/clients/windows/

This method requires that you have a Windows PC always running on the same network as your IP cameras or Internet surveillance DVR.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Every day i lose connection on phone to my remote cameras because my ip address keeps changing & DYNDNS doesn't recognise it. Does that mean i must get a static ip from my server.

Hi,everyone, I am Sunny. Re. the problem you mentioned above, pls find the following for your reference.
1. Pls click ”enter into system”, ”system collocating” “ edit DVR list”, double-click DVRhost, check the users’s name and password whether match to this DVRhost. If it does not match to DVRhost, pls use already account name and password of DVRhost to login, otherwise turn to next

2. Pls check whether this user has popedom of “remote visit”, otherwise pls change the user or open the popedom of “remote visit” for this user.

I have the same problem too. When I enter the DVR local IP, it prompt you to login. I entered my default username (ADMIN) and password (888888) still failed to login.

When I enter the WAN IP, it prompt me to login. Again, I entered the default username (ADMIN) and password (888888) still failed to login.

I really do believe that I have set-up my network and port forwarding correctly because the login prompt always comes out but for some reason the default login information is not working.

I really need any help because my customer is already pissed. Can anyone help me pleaseee!!!!

Hi,

Anyone knows how to do remote viewing setting for a D-Link DCS920 on a TL-Mr3220 using 3G network?
I have tried setting the TL-MR3220 port forwarding using port 800. Set the static ip address for DCS-920 and the port number 800.
Gotten the ip address and added :800 but it did not work.
I can view the router from remote but not the camera.
Everything is viewable within the wireless network but not remote.
Please advise.

Sir i wnat to see my camera's through internet using DVR H.264 4 channel ...plz tell me settings how to do ..

Hello Chucky,

If you have two separate GeoVision DVR's on the same network you must change the http port so they are different as well. By deafault the GeoVisions http port is set to 80. On one of the machines you will need to change it to something different like 81. Once you do this , in the GV-iVIEW App you will need to type in the ip address:81 for the port number. Also in the port field below type in the Mobile port 8866 or 8867 depending on the DVR.

I hope this helps.

Thanks James

eu nao to conseguindo acessar ao vivo via gv-iview no iphone so consigo acessar na minha rede. Que procedimento eu sigo?

Hello Everyone! I am new here. I wish I can have a good time here. Also, wish all of you have a nice day!

You can search the website exclusively in camera.

I have resolved the issue with the GViView and both the live view and the RPB are working fine. Now all I will need to do is take my laptop to an off site location and see if it will work as it will not do so on the home network. The problem with the iPhone viewer required the port number to be listed at the end of the IP on the GViView and as for the RPB I had to do a server update on the GeoVision program.

All the ports required are open and port 80 had to be changed as my ISP has it blocked. The port I am using is open an set accordingly on all aspects. The ports were checked with open port check tool.

hvss@optonline.net,

Are the ports showing open?

Since nothing seemed to work I shut down the computer and removed the hardware and did a destructive recovery of my PC which brought the system back to factory. Installed all updates, the GeoVision GV600 DVR card and all required software (v8.4) and set the system up as required. I can not log in from my laptop through the Internet Provider IP but can do so through my wireless network IP (this has only been done from home). My GViView for live view through 3G I get login failed. The remote playback I can log in but when I play back a stream I get flashes of green and white light no image.
The operating system on my PC is XP with SP3.

hvss@optonlone.net,

Are all of the ports showing open? Including the one that you changed?

Also if you changed the http port from 80 to say 8000. You will have to type in http://ipaddress:8000. Make sure you type in http:// before the ip address and than :port numeber you changed the http port to.

I hope this helps

Thanks James

I forget, there is my mail address if you can send me dawpuick@hotmail.com

Thanks

Hi Mike Haldas.

My name is dawpuick

I came from Madagascar and I have a problem to setup well my Ip cam DLink DCS 5220 with my adsl router DLink DSL 2640B.

Can you guide and help me please. I have suscribed in this at two days later.

Thanks you

I did that and for some reason port 80 is closed so I changed it and adjusted the settings on all programs to match. Still no luck in establishing a connection.

hvss@optonlone.net,

Make sure the following ports are open.

80
4550
5550
5511
8866

You can use this tool to see if they are open or closed. http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool

Thanks James

I updated from 8.3 to 8.4 as suggested and now I can not log on from either my laptop or my iPhone. All the settings are the same and am now at a total loss.

hvss@optonline.net,

I know there was some issues with 8.3 software and the iphone live viewing. You should upgrade to the new 8.4.0.1 software.

Thanks James

I have a Verizon iPhone 4 and GeoVision V8.3 and installed the GViView on my phone. I followed the set up to the letter and can only get the RPB to work. The DVR looks like it is going to log in and I get 8 blue screens where the images should be and after a few seconds it says login failed. I have no problem with my remote view on my laptop from other locations and am wondering if it is an issue with the GViView. If I use the IP address to my WAN while in range of the network I can get the DVR to work. I'm stuck any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Mike,

I am looking for IP Camera Surveillance systems where software API is accessible to add features like tranducers for enviromental monitoring and relay control. The hardware are via USB interface and window based from third party vendors.

Can you recommend any systems from CCTV Camera Pros where API is accessilble and documented for customisation ?

Thank you very much in advance for your advice

James Lee

App Update: there is now a native iPhone app for the our iDVR recorders and it is one of the best iPhone apps for CCTV cameras in our opinion (and we test a lot of apps).

Click here to see additional screen shots of the iPhone app: iDVR Remote DVR Viewer Image Gallery. The remote viewing also works with iPad, Android, and Mac computers (screen shots of those devices can be seen in the image gallery as well).

Hi James. Tks for the help. I tried with port 8080 and it did work. In fact, I had already tried earlier and it did not work. However, as you were very positive about Iview working with other ports other than 80, I started thinking about what I was doing wrong and I sudenlly realized I had forgotten a very basic point: to include the port after my IP on Iview. In short, for the benefit of whoever might bump into the same problem:
OO GEOVISION: go to Webserver Setup -> HTTP Port and write 8080 (or other).
On your Router: unblock this port on your Firewall (if it is blocked); it might be necessary to route WAN traffic on port 8080 to you PC IP (LAN traffic), if you have a router.
On your Iphone: on the IP field -> write your IP (ou a domain acquired with DynDns, e.g)followed by ":8080"; for example: 186.034.126:8080 or johnsmith.home.dyndns.org:8080
It worked perfectly for me!!
Tks for the help.

Hello Helano,

Yes you can change the http port from 80 to any available port such as 8000 or 8080.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks James

Hi everyone. I have a GV-800 card on my PC and I want to use an IPhone4 with GV-iview to monitor my home cameras. The problem is that my ISP blocks port 80 and it seems that Iview only works if that port is available, because I always get a message saying the program is not able to connect to GV-800. I have followed all the instructions to config the board and teste it by taking the PC to a friend's house who uses a different ISP and I was able to see the cameras on my Iphone. Is there any way to get iview working with another port? Tks in advance for the help.

hello gud pm what is good brand of surveillance cam

A customer called today because any time he has a power outage and his surveillance system reboots, he looses the remote connection to his DVR. CCTV Camera Pros suggested the following:

• If your Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address, you must make sure that you setup a dynamic DNS service to keep track of and update your IP address when it changes.
• You must assign your DVR a static internal LAN IP address so that when your router reboots, the DVR always gets the same IP address assigned to it and ensures that your port forwarding rules assigned to that IP are always valid.

RoddyJoff,

I am sorry but CCTV Camera Pros does not carry AVtech DVRs. If it ends up not working out for you, you may want to check out our iDVR which is one of the best DVRs on the market for remote Internet viewing, including iPhone, Android, and iPad:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/H264-Stand-Alone-DVRs-s/358.htm

As another alternative choice, you can use this 4 channel network video server as an add-on to any DVR to enable remote camera viewing from PC and mobile cell phones:

Hello.

I wonder if anyone is able to help me. I have an Avtech AVC796 DVR which works perfectly as a standalone unit. However, when I connect to it over my local network I am unable to login.

At the welcome screen I use username ADMIN (uppercase) plus my password that has been set on the box and which I successfully use locally. Then, having entered the verification code (again, using uppercase when displayed) the login fails with the message:

ERROR: Authentication error.

I hope it is a relatively easy fix - next up will be remote access over the internet followed by EagleEyes, but one step at a time!

Kind regards,

Dave.

Geodesist,

I'm not sure what is going on with the CMS lite link. If you would like you can download the CMS Software here http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Surveillance-DVR-Downloads-s/82.htm This CMS program is also much nicer.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks James

Thanks, James. When I click the link, it wants a login, and I use the same username and password as for the forum, which it doesn't accept.

Hello Geodesist,

Please see the link to download CMS Lite
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks James
