Hi I just bought this Cantonk dvr model CK-2014GA for less than $200. The machine works fine as a stand alone but its supposed to be able too be accessed via the web.
It has a lan port on it. Under the setup you can configure it for DHCP or static IP numbers.
Problem is I Cant get the ip address to work through my Link sys BEFSX41 firewall. I assigned the dvr an ip, gateway and dns numbers and a port that are available through the router.
The dvr comes with software called DX client viewer version 2.7.1 that you have to install on the remote computer to view.
It has options for net view when you click it it asks for host name, port number and user name and password.
It also has D D N S available.
I don't have a static ip so I figured maybe the D N Ns would work but cant seem to get that going either. And yes i did register for a d dns account. and the manual that came with it is not worth the paper its printed on.
Has one else run across this unit ?
Any help here would be appreciated.
