<description><p>Below are step by step instructions to setup your DVR or IP Camera for remote viewing.</p>
<p>1.) First Make sure your DVR or IP Camera support remote viewing</p>
<p>2.) Second you need to obtian the ip address and the port of your DVR or IP camera. Typically you can find this under network within the system  menu of your DVR or IP camera.</p>
<p>3.) Once you have the ip address and port info for your camera log into your router. Now click this link and find the port forwarding instructions that correspond with your routerhttp://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Internet-Surveillance-Setup-s/156.htm </p>
<p>4.) Now that you have the port forwarding setup, go to this web page <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a>. Check and make sure port 80 is open.</p>
<p>5.) Take the ip address you get from the <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool">open port tool</a> and type that into your web browser or Client software.

<description><p>Hello,</p>
<p>Please see the below instructions for the instructions on how to Port Forward using a Linksys router with DD-WRT firmware.</p>
<p><strong>1.)</strong> Log in to your Linksys router by typing <a href="http://192.168.1.1" rel="nofollow">http://192.168.1.1</a> into your web browser. [By default  Username: root Password: admin]</p>
<p><strong>2.)</strong> Click the NAT/Qos Tab &#62; Port Forwarding</p>
<p><img src="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/images/forum/Linksys_dd-wrt.bmp"><br />
<strong><br />

<p><strong>Application:</strong> This can be anything. Does not matter.<br />
<strong>Port From:</strong> The Port # of the DVR/Camera<br />
<strong>Protocol:</strong> Both<br />
<strong>Port To: </strong>Same Port as Port From</p>
<p>Check the Enable Box.</p>
<p><strong>4.)</strong> Save the settings and then Apply Settings.</p>
<p><strong>5.)</strong> Now make sure the port is open <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a></p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> If the port is open you will use the Remote IP Address you get from the <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool">port checker tool</a>.  However you will need to type it in as follows via web browser <strong><a href="http://ipaddress:port" rel="nofollow">http://ipaddress:port</a> number</strong>, [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 <a href="http://74.96.36.98:8000." rel="nofollow">http://74.96.36.98:8000.</a></p>

<description><p>Hello,</p>
<p>Please see below setup instructions on how to setup Port Forwarding on a ZyXEL Router.</p>
<p><strong>1.)</strong> Open a web browser and type in <a href="http://192.168.1.1" rel="nofollow">http://192.168.1.1</a></p>
<p><strong>2.)</strong> It will prompt you for the username and password. By default Username: <strong>admin </strong>Password: <strong>1234</strong></p>
<p><strong>3.)</strong> Now Click on the <strong>NAT link</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/images/forum/ZyXEL_Router1.jpg"></p>
<p><img src="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/images/forum/ZyXEL_Router2.jpg"></p>
<p><strong>4.)</strong>There should be a dot in the <strong>SUA Only</strong> setting. If this isn&#039;t the case, you can not setup port forwarding without making a major change to your network. I wouldn&#039;t advise changing this unless you know what you are doing. Alright, if there is a dot in the <strong>SUA Only</strong> setting, go ahead and click <strong>Edit Details</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/images/forum/ZyXEL_Router3.jpg"></p>
<p><strong>5.)</strong> Now fill in the following info:</p>
<p><img src="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/images/forum/ZyXEL_Router4.jpg"><br />
<strong><br />
Start Port:</strong> The port # of your Camera/DVR<br />
<strong>End Port: </strong>Same as start port<br />
<strong>IP Address:</strong> The LAN [internal IP address] IP address for your Camera/DVR</p>
<p><strong>6.)</strong> When you&#039;re finished, click Save near the bottom of the screen to save your changes</p>
<p><strong>7.)</strong> Now make sure the port is open with the following <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool">open port forwarding checker tool</a>: <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a></p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> 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 <a href="http://ipaddress:port" rel="nofollow">http://ipaddress:port</a> 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 <a href="http://74.96.36.98:8000" rel="nofollow">http://74.96.36.98:8000</a>.

<p>3. If so what is the maximum amount of monitors and how many cameras can be on each monitor?<br />
<strong><br />
Answer: </strong> </p>
<p>1. Remote Live Viewer doesn’t count the number of servers , It counts  the number of camera channels connected.  It can stream 128 total channels with two monitors.  64 channels per monitor.</p>
<p>2. You can you use multiple monitors.  Two for live view and one for playback. </p>
<p>3. You can live view 64 channels per monitor.

<description><p>How many simultaneous viewers can Geovisions System support using Internet Explorer web browser viewing?</p>
<p>For Geovision systems, the number of remote views is based upon the number of camera channels being viewed.<br />
Geovision can output a maximum of 125 channels simultaneously.</p>
<p>So for example, if you have 5 cameras being accessed at the same time for all users, the Geovision system can support 25 simultaneous users.</p>
<p>This goes for Geovision DVR cards as well as GV-NVR IP camera software.

<description><p>CCTV Camera Pros recently had a customer inquire with the following questions related to <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/NUUO-Surveillance-Systems-s/296.htm">NUUO surveillance systems</a>:</p>
<p>1.       If they decide to go with all <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Security-Cameras-s/83.htm">IP cameras</a>, what are the live view scenarios that we can expect with such a high bandwidth load from that many cameras?<br />
<strong><br />
Here is a calculator you can use to calculate Bandwidth , HDD Space and recommended Processor <a href="http://support.nuuo.com/calculator/" rel="nofollow">http://support.nuuo.com/calculator/</a></p>
<p>    * The minimum hardware required to run <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/NUUO-IP-Camera-Software-s/297.htm">NUUO IP camera software</a> depends mainly on the number of cameras and their video settings.<br />
    * The calculator is for NUUO IP+(NVR), NUUO SCB Series(DVR), NUUO Hybrid solution, or NUUO NVR.<br />
    * NUUO products support Windows 2003 32-bit and Windows XP 32-bit.<br />
    * All products also support Windows Vista 32-bit, except SCB-5000 Series and SCB-4016.<br />
    * The default bitrate for audio is 48 Kbps.<br />
    * Using network drives for recording is NOT recommended. It is recommended to directly attach a hard drive instead of using network drives.<br />
    * Minimum bandwitdh is the least amount of network capacity required for data streaming over LAN or internet. Please reserve 40% or more bandwidth to guarantee stable connection and good remote viewing quality. For instance, 0.8 Mbps (or 800 Kbps) of streaming data works fine with a 2 Mbps upload network connection but not with a 1 Mbps upload network connection.<br />
    * All the testing video streams are set to normal qualities.<br />
    * NVRmini bandwidth limits<br />
          o NV2020 has a maximum bandwidth limit of 20 Mbps.<br />
          o NV2040 has a maximum bandwidth limit of 20 Mbps.<br />
          o NV4080 has a maximum bandwidth limit of 30 Mbps.<br />
          o NV4016 has a maximum bandwidth limit of 22 Mbps.<br />
    * It is required that a dedicated graphics card be installed. Please see also our hardware compatibility list.<br />
</strong><br />
    2.       They want to be able to record all of the cameras as well. Some of them will be on full time record and some will be on motion recording. Would they be better off with 2 DVR’s to give them a longer playback time frame?<br />
<strong><br />
If they are going over 32 cameras I would recommend to separate units. Also refer to calculator above for estimate on HDD recommendation.</strong></p>
<p>    3.       If they have 2 DVR’s, using the NUUO system, will they be linked?<br />
<strong><br />
You can use the client software that comes with the NUUO systems to view up to 64 cameras on one central station over the web or on the internal LAN. You can also review the playback using the client software. </strong></p>
<p>    4.       What kind of Live View software comes with the NUUO system? I have only used Geovision at this point. Do they have remote playback capabilities? </p>
<p><strong>You can view remotely by using the Client software that comes with all of our NUUO software or via IE web browser. Playback is supported</strong></p>
<p>    5.       They are looking at probably 3 PTZ cameras in this system. How are those cameras controlled in the NUUO setup? Can they be controlled by the DVR software?<br />
<strong><br />
If they are using analog PTZ cameras they will need this piece here to integrate it with the NUUO servers <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/USB-to-RS-485-p/nuuo-scb-c08.htm"><a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/USB-to-RS-485-p/nuuo-scb-c08.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/USB-to-RS-485-p/nuuo-scb-c08.htm</a><br />
</a><br />
If they are using IP PTZ cameras than there is no additional hardware needed. You would just have to make sure that the camera is supported by NUUO <a href="http://support.nuuo.com/mediawiki/index.php/Supported_cameras" rel="nofollow">http://support.nuuo.com/mediawiki/index.php/Supported_cameras</a> </strong></p>
<p>    6.       Does the NUUO system allow for multiple levels of login? They want to be able to control some of the functions at the guard station (ie – PTZ control, playback, single camera view, etc) but want to be able to lock out programming.<br />
<strong><br />
Yes you can create unlimited user accounts and customize user privileges per user.</strong></p>
<p>After Reading this if you have any questions feel free to ask!!!

<description><p><strong>In this post I will be going over the port forward configuration setup for Belkin routers.</strong></p>
<p>1.) Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.2.1. </p>
<p>2.) You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is 1234. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.</p>
<p>3.) Click the NAT link near the left of the page.</p>
<p>4.) You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Port Forwarding.</p>
<p>5.) Click the Add button and fill in the blanks.<br />
<strong>Private IP</strong>- Type in the ip address of the device you are trying to forward the ports for.<br />
<strong>Type</strong>- You can leave on Both<br />
<strong>Port Range</strong>- Type in the port # you are trying to open<br />
<strong>Comment</strong>- You can name it whatever you like. It is for your reference. </p>
<p>6.) Once you have saved the settings go to <a href="http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/" rel="nofollow">http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/</a> and type in the port number that you have forwarded. Make sure it is open. If the port is closed proceed to the next step.</p>
<p>7.) If you have DSL for you internet service you will need to call your provider and have them bridge the modem to your Inellinet router. This is a standard process.

<description><p><strong>In this post I will be going over the port forward configuration setup for Verizon routers.</strong></p>
<p>1.) Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.1</p>
<p>2.) You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.</p>
<p>3.) Click &#34;Yes&#34; to proceed.</p>
<p>4.) Click the &#34;Firewall Settings&#34; icon, located on the middle of the top bar.</p>
<p>5.) Click &#34;Port Forwarding&#34;, in the menu on the left.</p>
<p>6.) Click &#34;Add&#34;, located in red near the bottom left corner. Most likely you will have to create a custom port.</p>
<p>7.) The &#34;Add Port Forwarding Rule&#34; screen appears. Click the arrows next to &#34;Specify Address&#34;. A drop down menu appears. Select the name of the device that you want to port forward.</p>
<p>8.) Select the type of Protocol from the Protocol drop down menu.</p>
<p>9.) Change &#34;Forward to Port&#34; to say &#34;Specify&#34;, then enter the device or applications port number that you need to forward.</p>
<p>10.) Now Click Apply.</p>
<p>11.) Once you have saved the settings go to <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a> and type in the port number that you have forwarded. Make sure it is open. If the port is closed proceed to the next step.</p>
<p>12.) Go back into your routers interface go to Firewall Settings &#62; Click yes to proceed &#62; Change to <strong>Minimum Security</strong> and save the settings. Now Repeat step 10.

<description><p><strong>In this post I will be going over the port forward configuration setup for Netgear routers</strong></p>
<p>1.) Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.0.1</p>
<p>2.) You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is<br />
password. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.</p>
<p>3.) Click the Port Forwarding link near the left of the page.</p>
<p>4.) Click the Add Custom Service button near the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>5.) Type in the service name. Note this can be set to anything you like. Service name is for your reference.Now enter the port into the starting and ending port slots. Last enter the server ip address. </p>
<p>6.) Save the settings.</p>
<p>7.) Once you have saved the settings go to <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a> and type in the port number that you have forwarded. Make sure it is open. If the port is closed proceed to the next step.</p>
<p>8.) If you have DSL for you internet service you will need to call your provider and have them bridge the modem to the router. This is a standard process.

<pubDate>Mon, 24 May 2010 19:12:48 +0000</pubDate>

<guid isPermaLink="false">1165@http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/</guid>
<description><p>This <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/">surveillance forum</a> post walks users through basic steps for setting up and trouble shooting remote viewing setup for <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Surveillance-DVRs-s/23.htm">surveillance DVRs</a>.</p>
<p>Most DVR&#039;s are very similar when setting up remote viewing.  The 1st step is enabling your remote viewing server. It may also be referred to as web server or webcam server.  The term will vary depending on the manufacturer of the DVR that you are setting up. This step may not apply for all DVR&#039;s, I noticed this applies more with PC Based DVR&#039;s.</p>
<p>Once you have the web server enabled you will need to get the LAN (Local Area Network) IP Address for your DVR. If you have a<strong> PC Based </strong><strong>DVR</strong> you can retrieve your IP Address by simply going to Start Menu &#62; All Programs &#62; Accessories &#62; Command Prompt. Once you have the Command Prompt window open type in ipconfig and press enter. That will give you your ip address. <strong>For stand alone DVR&#039;s</strong> you can find your LAN ip address by logging into your router and viewing the attached devices or in the network settings in your DVR. It may not be referred to as network setup the terminology may be a bit different you may want to open up your DVR Manual to check, I promise it wont bite. </p>
<p>Now that you have your LAN IP Address. We are going to try to connect to the DVR locally in other words with a pc on the same network as your DVR. Some DVR&#039;s require a client to be installed on the pc you are trying to connect from. Others allow you to connect using Internet Explorer. If you are trying to log in via internet explorer and your DVR is not using port 80 you will need to type your ip address like this <strong><a href="http://ipaddress:port" rel="nofollow">http://ipaddress:port</a> #</strong> so if my ip address is 192.168.1.100 and port number is 7000 It should look like this <strong><a href="http://192.168.1.100:7000" rel="nofollow">http://192.168.1.100:7000</a></strong>. If your default port is 80 you can just simply type the ip address in this case it would look like this 192.168.1.100</p>
<p>Once you have connected locally with your LAN IP Address you will need to setup port forwarding. This will forward the port for your DVR to the Internet so you can view it remotely. Here is a link to the port forwarding setup of some commonly used routers <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Internet-Surveillance-Setup-s/156.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Internet-Surveillance-Setup-s/156.htm</a>. Also if your router has any firewalls that may block the transmission of the video you will need to disable that firewall.</p>
<p>The last step is to get your WAN (Wide Area Network) IP Address you can do this by going to this website on a computer local to your dvr <a href="http://dvripaddress.com" rel="nofollow">http://dvripaddress.com</a> This website will display your ip address.Try to connect using this IP Address If you cannot connect using that ip address this means the ports are not open you can check using this useful tool <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool" rel="nofollow">http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/check-open-port-forwarding-tool</a>. If you have DSL Service with a modem that is separate from the router call your internet service provider and tell them you need to bridge the modem to the router and take down any firewalls blocking the ports that you have forwarded.  Also if you have DSL in most cases you will not be able to connect with that ip address while you are still in the local network.</p>
<p>You should be all setup if you have any questions please feel free to post.

<description><p><strong>We recently had a customer contact CCTV Camera Pros with the following question:</strong><br />
What DVR cards do you sell that will allow remote viewing in a browser without ActiveX controls such as Safari or Firefox?</p>
<p><strong>CCTV Camera Pros Response:</strong><br />
Yes our <strong>Alnet</strong> systems will work through Safari,Firefox and other browsers that do not use active x controls.Because Alnet systems do not rely on Active X controls, Alnet surveillance systems are Mac compatible for live remote viewing.  Alnet systems use Java for live remote viewing which is built into Leopard and Snow Leopard Mac operating systems.  As long as your computer  has the latest version of Java installed, you can access Alnet systems remotely over the internet from a your computer. You can contact CCTV Camera Pros for additional info and demo.

<description><p>Hi.<br />
I want to use Linux machine for viewing video remotely. We have JPEG2000 DVR. Any interesting sollutions available for Linux?<br />
I want to install Mandriva server and let users log on remotely (from WAN) using NX client due to poor upload. As they are connected to the server they can watch video in LAN, I mean the internet connection is not overloaded as the whole traffic from DVR to server goes via LAN only. Windows server (2003 or 2008) is not worth the trouble for cameras only.

<description><p>We Recently had a customer who was viewing his cameras remotely using the DMMultiView.He was trying to enable video polling to cycle through the cameras one at a time. After clicking the video polling it would only cycle one camera.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Hold down the ctrl button on your keyboard while holding, click all of the cameras you want to cycle through. If you are doing this correctly the camera box that you a selecting should have a red rim around the outside of the box. So you should have a red rim around all of the cameras you want to cycle through. Once you have all of the cameras selected press the video polling button. You have just successfully enabled video Polling!

<description><p>A DVR user recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following issue:</p>
<p>I have read a lot of good articles on this site to help me set up my stand-alone triplex 8ch dvr for remote viewing, but still have one minor issue that I can&#39;t seem to get any help on.  I have the dvr and a linksys router with time warner cable modem.  The router is configured to auto IP (needs to be for cable) so I have a dyndns host.  I use the port forwarding in the router to forward ports to my dvr and enabled ddns. The dvr is assigned a static IP outside of the dhcp range in the router for my home network.  Everything seems to work fine, I can connect internally and externally...except after I connect externally the dvr has to be power<br />
cycled to reboot before the remote view works again.  This is really confusing to me, and any suggestions you have to help me are appreciated!</p>
<p><strong>CCTV Camera Pros Response:</strong></p>
<p>Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros.  That is a strange issue that you described but we do have a suggestion and some insight.</p>
<p>[list=1]<li>In my experience some routers act strange when you assign devices IP addresses outside of the DHCP server range and also assign port forwarding rules to that IP address.  You may want to try an IP address within the range but very high in the range so there is never a conflict.</li><li>Some DVRs are not very good at handling abrupt disconnects / connection drops.  So if by chance you are leaving that connection open when it is not in use and not closing it and your connection is lost, your DVR may think that connection is still open and will not allow another connection.  When you reboot the DVR this may be being reset.  This is just a theory based on experience with some DVRs that we have seen.  Our JPEG DVR sometimes has this problem.</li></p>
<p>I hope this info is helpful. Please let us know if you need anything else.</p>
<p>Sincerely.<br />

<description><p>A customer recently contacted us with the following questions.  Our answers are inline with the message:</p>
<p>Thank you for contacting CCTV Camera Pros.  Please see answers to your questions below:</p>
<p>    We currently have a JPEG2000 stand alone 16 camera DVR. We’ve picked out a nice rack mount server that we’d like to install a DVR card in to replace the JPEG2000. I see NUUO and Geovision, any major differences with them? </p>
<p>They both support the same major features.  NUUO is compatible with many more brand of IP cameras if you ever plan on using any IP cameras in your system.  NUUO is also a little more flexible in supporting multiple cards on a single system.</p>
<p>    We were looking at the GV-1240-16. I noticed the GV-1240-16 comes with Geovision version 8 software. Does that include some remote viewing capabilities? </p>
<p>Yes, both NUUO and Geovision are able to be remotely viewed from either Internet explorer or from the remote viewing client included on the CD.</p>
<p>    Looks like there’s separate CMS software for both NUOO and Geovision.</p>
<p>That is correct, both include CMS.</p>
<p>    For storage with either card, does it require a single drive or RAID array, or can we configure it to record onto multiple local drives? </p>
<p>Yes, either systems can record to one or multiple drives and both NUUO and Geovision support RAID because they are built in Windows which supports RAID.</p>
<p>    And would should we not use the OS drive for recording? </p>
<p>Correct, we always recommend not using the OS drive for video storage.</p>
<p>    Is there an easy formula for figuring how much history we can record before overwriting? </p>
<p>Here is a link to a calculator for NUUO:<br />
<a href="http://support.nuuo.com/calculator/" rel="nofollow">http://support.nuuo.com/calculator/</a></p>
<p>I apologize that I do not have one for Geovision.</p>
<p>    We’d like to get the best quality but still be able to save a reasonable amount, might end up with 4GB in storage but can easily add more if needed.</p>
<p>    Just looking to make sense of this so I can comfortably make a recommendation, both seem to be about the same price.</p>
<p>I understand.  Please let us know if we can help further.  Also here is a link to some useful NUUO videos if you have time to take a look.</p>

<description><p>We were recently contacted by a customer with the following questions:</p>
<p>My name is Danny and I am part of the student government at Indiana University. We are working on implementing a system that would allow any student to go onto the internet and be able to get a live feed of the work-out facilities that we have. We feel this would be extremely useful for our students because often the basketball courts and weight-training areas fill up around peak hours, creating a backlog of people waiting to use machines or to get on courts. By having a camera<br />
system, students would be able to check how busy the facilities are before they decide to go, saving students time and freeing up the facilities.</p>
<p>I’ve been doing some research on potential solutions. Based on what I’ve seen, it seems to me that purchasing multiple wireless IP network cameras would fit our needs. We have a secure wireless network that covers the campus, so it would be much easier to utilize the Wi-Fi than to run Ethernet cables along the walls. However, there are a few things that I don’t understand:</p>
<p><ol type="1"><li>How do you connect these cameras to the wireless network?</li><li>Does each camera have its own IP address that we could set up a link for online? How would we go about doing so?</li><li>Can multiple users view the same camera feed simultaneously?</li><li>How difficult are the cameras to install? Are there any special steps that we would need to be aware of?</li><li>What do you think about the feasibility of our project?</li><li>Do you have a ballpark price estimate for everything we would need?</li><li>Is this even the best way to go about implementing such a system, or are there other setups that you feel would be better?</li><br />
</ol></p>
<p>Please let us know what you think!</p>
<p>Best Regards,<br />
Danny

<description><p>NUUO Support,</p>
<p>We have a customer that has an existing PC based NUUO DVR with CCTV cameras.  The customer has two other locations that he want to add cameras to.  He is thinking that he wants to use IP cameras at the two additional locations along with <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Network-Video-Recorder-p/nuuo-nv-2040.htm">4 channel NUUO miniNVRs</a>.  The question is can he use the central monitoring software included with the NUUO NVR/DVR software to view cameras on both the <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Network-Video-Recorder-s/299.htm">stand alone NVRs</a> as well as the PC based DVR?</p>
<p>Thank You.<br />
