Hello, I came across these forums while searching for info on our dvr system. I have never worked with a dvr card before and this system is a bit dated. I'm a computer guy which is why my boss put me in charge of this project, so I figured I'd give it a go. I've read many posts about port forwarding and yadda yadda yadda. But thats not really what I need to know. I realize I need to forward the ports on our router first and foremost. We have an appointment set up on Monday to do just that. But in the mean time I'm trying to do as much research as possible. First of all we're using some LT security software and a hanbang dvr card. I can connect to the PC these are running on via web site 192.168.1.whatever. And I can view it over the network internally. What exactly is hosting this webpage? There is no iis? some form of apache maybe? Second, if I'm able to connect to the site internally why can I just port forward using no-ip? I tried no-ip and couldn't get the internal site online. Last we will probably be updating the software as well as the card if I can not get this figured out. What would be recommended, a new card? new software? Or both? Any help would be awesome and muchly appreciated.

We have a business account set up through our isp(knology) and they deal with all of our router/modem issues. I won't know more about our set up until I actually talk to them.

Thank you soundy! Very helpful. Going to work with our isp on Monday and forward all the ports. Unfortunately I don't have any of the manuals for this equipment and it makes it difficult. I've found info on the unisight web page it uses. And I'm pretty sure I know which ports I need open / forwarded. I'll be back later this week and hopefully all goes well Again thanks for taking the time to help! Very very much appreciated.
