Hi all Basically a customer of mine has said right heres a AVTECH AVC-785 DVR recorder. it has a network port in the back and i want it connected to my computer upstairs so i can sit in a warm place and find what the police want rather than having to sit in a cold safe room spending hours trying to find it through the useless remote control. Oh and within 2 days as it may overwrite what they need then. So, from what i can see it is possible. Ive got the DVR connected into the network but doesnt show up in the D-Link connected devices. Ive got a monitor connected to the DVR so i can see whats on screen. I cant get to menu which is the problem ive got with getting it setup. the remote works as you can change channel with it and itll beep when you press buttons but the menu wont open up for anything! Anybody got any ideas?? Thanks in advance from a new joiner

Thanks for reply, I cant get to the menu.... As for the Admin code ive only got the default 0000 and dont know if its changed, customer doesnt either. if it has been changed is there a way of resetting it or finding it out? I do think this is the problem! Ive read about a hardware reset but not sure what that resets exactly? And apologies for slow reply, didnt have an email come through about reply.... Thank You
