so, remote access works in LAN(192.168.x.x) and failed when accessing from internet(x.x.x.x)? you might wanna try disabling IE's security protection and see how it goes.

better? but not much. it's about cmos sensor. it always struggles in low lux. it's better to stick with 3511 if night vision matters.

running a IPcam on phone-line provided power is not possible. and for a Stardot system, get ready to add a 0 in your budget.

you need to convert the backup videos to avi or mpg files for the post processing. most dvrs should come with a video converter program. moreover, it could turn your pc cam into a single channel dvr with motion detection, and its free.

Port Forward and ddns has nothing to do with email notification setup. setting smtp is like setting your PC's outlook or ol express; it's client side only. PF and ddns are for server setup, which according to terminator was correctly done.

There is one utility you can try. Here is the link, http://www.safeware.ca/support.php Just grab the SafeMotion utility. It's a console mode program and works on AVI and MPG files with MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 encoded video clips. Hope it helps!

I'm not sure if that is the case on AVC751, but their old firmware seem to have ignored the implementation of SMTP port and encryption format(TLS/SSL), which is required by gmail. So you might will need to check whether the SMTP port and encryption could be set correctly. You need to set it, quit the setup, and re-enter setup to see if the values are still there. gmail smtp port is 587 with TLS encryption.

Read this article. http://www.safeware.ca/kb-networkdvr.php Find and set the corresponding network and ddns in the dvr. that should be enough.

Still fumbling with Ubuntu? 10.04 has just given me a black screen during a simple operation. it's not quite stable yet. VIA card uses its own graphic chip, and that could be a headache for a fancy open-source monster like Ubuntu. Mutually, they'll treat each other with lower priority for sure. Personally, I'll go with ATI or NVIDIA when playing with Ubuntu. it could be a time saver.

literally, you'll need some conceptual view on the network setting, otherwise, every step could be a hurdle. check this out, DVR network setup.

that's program compatibility issue, not handyman thing. u should go to your supplier for this.

does anyone ever test the wireless setup against some radio jammers? there're some hundred dollar gadgets out there.

that ip is the default one. try scrolling way down in the menu. find network setting in the advanced config page.

try adjusting its sensitivity settings, such as durations, number of areas, etc it helps!

another easier but less secured approach is to set it to auto-login, Activating autologin 1. Load the Gnome Administration utility by clicking on System -> Administration -> Login Window 2. Change to the Security tab. 3. Enable the checkbox for Enable Automatic Login 4. Select your user account from the drop-down list of users.

Try this: Create a script in /etc/init.d named viewer.sh ;vi example, sudo vi viewer.sh ;add viewer program with path in viewer.sh ;make the script executable ;hook up viewer script into OS sudo update-rc.d viewer.sh defaults that should do it. ps. scripts in /etc/init.d folder works like config.sys in DOS. and, i assume 3G card is initialized by default at boot time, so i ignore it in the example. good luck!

try launching the 3G and viewer programs in /etc/init.d hope it helps

it's good for soothing anxiety,... till hit happens.

it should be ground loop issue, caused by one of the power supplies. not necessarily the ones with interference on. replace the one with razor sharp camera first. if you can't find the culprit, try this http://www.safeware.ca/product-spec.php?pid=602

wireless-G handles practically only 20~25Mbps. 4 IP cams generate 12~13Mbps traffic, and that's only receiving end. it doubles when channelling the traffic back to viewer, thus, you need 802.11n APs to handle the summed-up traffic of 8 or 16 IP cams. Unless the IP cam supports wireless-n, set the AP in mixed mode, i.e. IP cams talk to AP in G, and AP talk to viewer in N. in math, one wireless-N AP should take care of all traffic, however, the range of IP cam wireless need to be tested separated. Try this AP, it's quite robust and not spec inflated. DAP-1522 Xtreme N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=dap-1522

have you tried it on linux Chrome?

need a list of the following, the dvr's static ip and netmask, your testing computer's ip, router's private ip and netmask.

try this link, grand! http://www.safeware.ca/kb-networkdvr.php

did you check the port number of the dvr? try this on IE http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:portnumber

check out this step by step setup. it might help. http://www.safeware.ca/kb-networkdvr.php
