i have a avermedia 4 eyes pro dvr card in my desktop. I see it fine with external and local ip from my laptop. but when i log onto ip address from my itouch from my house using external ip i get DEPENDING ON INTERNET BANDWIDTH ,MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES.......... and cameras never come up. Do you guys know if there are any settings on my desktop that can fix this problem? thanx PS I HAVE AN ACTIONTEC VERIZON FIOS ROUTER IN MY HOUSE with supposedly 25mb up/25 mb down thaks again

its the old 4eyes pro, .....but i got a question , does it matter which program it is , im just trying to view remotely , dont i just havve to have the port open and log on , im not an IT guy, but that would be my guess..........shouldnt i just be able to punch in ex ip and see it ,or maybe that avermedia is so ancient that i cant, I really thought it would be some kind of setting on itouch, but nothing on itouch says download active x..........maybe its something with apples web browser??????????

are you using your external ip. ?? yes i definitely am.............the actiontec guy told me THAT was my ex ip, i specifically asked him...starts with 173.....my local starts with 192.....unless he doesnt know what he is talking about, hope not

if you are getting this message then it is looking for active x. are you using I-Viewer app. used many different apps , just downloaded aver i viewer , it already had port 5550, just put in ip ,username , and password and it says connection failed, iviewer screen comes up with no video thanx

with this message it sounds like you are not using an APP. you will need to get the free app from itunes. and you will also need to portforward ports 5550 in your router directed to your dvr port. I am using a webcam app from iTunes and I have 5550 portforwarded That's how I see it on my laptop Had actiontec tech support set up my router and all works fine Just having problem with I touch. Thanx

quick questions ,installed a camera a purchased(1/4 cmos color image sensor,380 resolution,8 mm lens,advertised as seeing up to 40 meters) watching my vehicle in the street at only 20 meters. Tech sheet said power supply for color camera should be 700 to 800 ma, would this affect the distance that is illuminated .....as i could see almost NOTHING AT NIGHT. Are irs on all the time or only with motion? My color is also not that good ? Reason why i ask is because paperwork stated use 300ma for b/w cam or 800ma for color cam. Would i be able to mount a seperate little ir thing to improve distance ? thanks

would anyone know why my host computer with my capture card installed keeps logging off everyday.Everytime i log on to remote viewer with my laptop first thing in the morning , i have to go to desktop and log on .....everyday. I played around with hibernation settings, power settings, etc........error message is ..THE SYSTEM COULD NOT LOG YOU ON....MAKE SURE USERNAME AND PASSWORD ARE CORRECT.......behind that window there is another window with my windows username and password which is all in dots......never had this problem until i installed this dvr system.Do you know what settings i would have to go to on my computer thanks ...happy holidays

well i tried looking for the exact place i foumd it but....no luck ,but like i said just google your problem and you should get results..........soumds like you want to google DISABLE VISTA LOG ON SCREEN .....my prob was every morning my pc based dvr was getting disconnected so i was not able to remote view, and everymorning i had to restart my computer . i would get that windows log on screen with userid and password every morning . I googled it and did something in administative setttings ,,dont remember what.........anyway good luck

i did it for a desktop running windows xp ,but im sure you can do it with vista , google windows auto log on and you might get something .In an hour or 2 i will go to my desktop to see what i typed in and give you a better answer.Its actually one of those administrator settings (i think) somewhere you have to type in your name and passwords but i will let you know....MEANWHILE Google windows auto logon vista ....u might get something ,give me a few hours

resolved issue .....googled it and got great answer ,worked right away......went into some window settings and and changed something.....it was above my pay grade ,but somehow got it done ....thanks for the help guys ......

hi all , have a question ,been on this site a few times ....i have 4 cameras outside my house AND I KNOW THEY WORK... i need a dvr card for my desktop. I had purchased one on ebay 2 months ago called a hifast 6802 AND COULDNT GET IT TO WORK....SO I TOOK IT OUT . The reason why i took it out was i would get the dvr screen up but, i couldnt see my cameras .i figured it was because i bought a piece of crap dvr card. I dont even know if my driver was installed correctly because i couldnt see it under sound,video controllers. The card had 4 bnc ports, is that better than the card with vga to bnc adapters ??????? Another reason why i took the card out it seemed to screw up the video and other stuff on my computer. SO I TOOK IT OUT . SHOULD I TRY TO REINSTALL IT OR WHAT? my DESKTOPIS DELL DIMENSION 4700, I PUT IN 4 GIGS RAM ,3.2 MHZ, P4 , WINDOWS XP , WITH STILL ALOT OF MEMORY 85 GIG with an ATI RADEON 3000 graphis card..... I have a new laptop so i dont use desktop at all anymore so i figure ill turn it into surveillance system. Should i reinstall that card or can u recomend an inexpensive dvr card for me . BY THE WAY ..WHAT ARE THE OTHER PIN CONNECTERS THAT ARE ON THE DVR CARD FOR ,THERE IS A 20 PIN ,A 4 PIN AND 2-2PINS THANX
