Hi there. I see others have struggled, at least one succeeded, but no details.
I appreciate I’m asking for a lot of effort but if I can be helped I’m sure a lot of others will benefit.
Going nuts with Sentient DVR 250 Gb H.264 Network DVR trying to get Network settings correct. I only have half an idea what I’m doing but in my defence the instructions are crap. Help!!
I believe I have set port forwarding OK on the router and Norton 360.
When set in Static IP mode I can log in OK and see the cameras within the home wireless network (Sagem Sky Router) if I enter the internal ip address of the DVR e.g. 192.168.0.3 into IE. The same (apparently) if the IP setting is switched to DHCP.
I have no confidence at all in being able to do the same remotely because I have very little clue what to enter into the other Network Tab fields. To enable an easier reply, these are:
Field…………………Currently…….Comment
IP Setting Tab:
1. IP Setting…………DCHP
2. IP Address………..192.168.0.3….Automatically set? (by Router?)
3. Subnet Mask……...255.255.255.0
4. Gateway…………..Blank………..OK? Should be 192.168.0.1?
5. DNS Address……..192.168.0.1….Surely not right?
Port Setting Tab:
6. HTTP Port………..80…….....(I have opened ports for all of these. In a Router
7. Command Port…...6001….Service table though, DVR1 is 80, DVR 2 is 1159,
8. Media Port……….6002….....DVR3 is 1259, DVR4 is 13551. I expected to see
9. Mobile Port………6003….....the 80 – but the others? Does this matter?)
Advance Setting Tab:
PPPOE Setting
10. Enable PPPOE…. Enable
11. User……………..Router log in name……….Doubt this is correct
12. Password……… Router log in password……Doubt this is correct
13. Confirm password……….Ditto……………………Ditto
DDNS Setting
14. Enable DDNS…...Enable
15. DDNS Server……members.dyndns.org……(From drop down list) ???
16. Device Domain Name…myhostname.dyndns-at-home.com……OK?
17. DDNS User……..DynDNS.com Account name…….OK???
18. DDNS Password…DynDNS.com Account password……OK???
19. Confirm Password………………Ditto
Email Setting
20. From…………….myname@sky.com……………Test fails!
21. To ……………….myname@sky.com
22. Email Server(SMTP)……..smtp.tools.sky.com………???
23. Port……………...465……….As Account Properties - outgoing
24. SSL/TLS………...Enable
25. Email password…myemailpassword
26. Confirm password…….ditto
27. Bandwidth autofit …..Enable
I also have an account with DynDns and a Host name myhostname.dyndns-at-home.com with an updater facility, current ip address of xx.xxx.xxx.xxx but I haven’t used this address anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any reply could make reference to the Field numbers as listed. Praying for a response, Carl B.
