yeah... it was very cheap (the dvr) thanks for the advice regarding the mic !

Hi, everybody, is there a way to identify a generic DVR recorder, e.g. compatible software etc etc , that I can use, it should make looking for compatible remote viewing software easier ! lets say if there is a standard format or something that generic DVR recorders use ? I know i cant link the DVR website here (against rules). but the format is h.264? the brand i think is bxs 7004

sorry for the late reply ! is your DVR configured to be accessible via port 80 ? also there might also be a chance that the software is not compatible with your DVR, do you have your DVR model there ?

yup thats the port, you can have a port "number" thats both letters and numbers if you are err redirecting it via a webserver i think. http://www.bxsdvr.com/English/html/zxys/zxyss.html same here

if thats the case then i guess its ok ! http://www.bxsdvr.com/ they even have an online demo for accessing their dvrs in china! also as a side question, if I want to connect a microphone to my CCTV, im trying to search around amazon for mics, they seem to be powered microphones? im assuming that all microphones are compatible ? I mean it uses the same audio jack anyway ! and this is a microphone!

bxs is the manufacturer, im not sure if im allowed to post the url of the company here. I do have an iphone app that works tho! works nicely too

Thanks for the reply. I actually found the manufacturer website and they have a downloadable version of the desktop app, but i cannot seem to find their apps for android and iphone! im looking at their website now with specs... does not really say much about the active X control... just that it supports CMS (computer management software??) and mobile viewing! actually was able to make it work with my e72 and ipad/itouch... but wanted to switch over to android! I have to agree that it is really difficult to look for software on the web that would actually work ! even if the inputs are the same (ip, port uname pass) everybody seems to be using a different conect method or what ?

thats the port number of your DVR. Have you tried connecting to your DVR via the pc based software the comes with it ? The format of the IP field is IP:PORT so if your IP is 198.0.0.0 and port is 8000 it will be 198.0.0.0:8000

try dvrmobile, just search for it in google ? I tried it with my generic DVR and it works nicely, even tried it out on an ipad.
