Hi Tomcctv BT is my broadband supplier at the moment I was told to set up an additional item in the games list of the bthub to allow me to set up the port forwarding you cannot edit an existing service. Unless you know different, I have been looking into switching providers & have no signed up with plusnet who can supply me with a static IP address as an additional option to the service. So it looks like I shall be going though this again once the transfer takes place. But I would still like to know how to set up the hub to forwad both the web & media port to the cctv systems IP address or as at present its mac code. I am sure it is easy if you know what you are doing but it appears to be spacific for individual hubs I just need to know how on the BT homehub2?

Hi to you all, I have just set up a 4 camera dvr system with 5 cameras on it? I was fed up with opening my garage door geting something out & leaving the door up so have wired up an additional camera inside which is switched on when the door is opened via micro relay & magnetic switch on the door so now I loose 1 of my front camera pictures which is replaced with the garrage! Cost about £18 for all of the parts from Maplins box, bnc sockets, relay & switch & well worth it. System quality is great But am still unable to connect localy via network good old bt homehub2 but I understand others have done so just need to find out how? Looks like you all are a friendly bunch from all over so hopefully we can all help each other although my networking knowledge is vry basic. Cviewmaster

Hi I too have spent many hours trying to work out why I cannot gain access to allow my 4 camera cctv system to be even viewed locally on my network let alone be able to view it remotely! I have tried changing the media & web ports from 9000 to 9005 & from 80 to 85 as I have a media server set up on mt network already I did not know if this was causing the problem. I am using a BT homehub2 & have set up a new user defined game & called it cctv server but the details shown earlier about port forwarding to the mac address of the dvr I am havving trouble understanding. All I can find out how to do is map the port range 85-85 to translate to 85-85 tcp & trigger zero then I have done this for 9005 to 9005 translate to 9005 t0 9005 tcp & trigger zero then this is combined to the mac address & applied in the bt home hub2. I can only see the dvr as an attached mac address connected & I can also see it via Mcaphee in network setup as a device with a ? & it will only allow me to hide the item nto allow it. I have spent 3 hours on the phone to an IT guru but am still no further. I have the dvr set to dhcp with the media & web ports as above I have also tried it as a static IP address. I have set up with dyndns as a host & have set up the dns ip & DDNS set up as per my agreed host name user name & password. I have also loaded up the supplied playback software but cannot see anything in the source box which I am not suprised when I cannot see it on my network. Please can someone give me some advise on setting up the BT homehub2???
