Hello all, I have acquired a Swann DVR with networking abilities but seem to have a problem getting it working over the network. At the minute i am trying to get it locally as i don't have real internet access then once i do i will move onto getting it over the web which should be fairly easy. The DVR is SW342-LPM. In the network settings i have made it Static IP - 192.168.0.24 DNS - 192.168.0.1 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 HTTP Port - 1024 In my router i have opened up the port 1024 and forwarded it to 192.168.0.24. When i run the DxClient on my laptop (Win7 64bit) It connects to the DVR fine, Any commands i do from the software show on my CCTV monitor but there is just a black screen on the software on my pc. I can select cameras/ play video and it all does the commands on the monitor but not on the pc. It sounds like some kind of codec issue maybe but i am lost at what it could be and i don't have a 32bit system to try it on however this is my main laptop so need it working on here. I have gone into internet settings and enabled the active x settings to what they should be. When i connect through internet explorer i get no active x pop up and its just a while web page however the title is DxClient Netviewer but still.. nothing. Someone please help me! Thanks.

Turns out it is my operating system that seems to be the problem. I spoke to swann and they tried to connect to the system and they could see the image fine. I have installed the k-lite codec pack, divx player, updated java, flash and still cannot see anything

Thanks, Running IE in admin mode and checking the settings as let the net viewer show and asked me again to connect once it ran in the browser yet there is still no video. When i click to save a screen capture of it from the plug in option it saves a blank image also. So annoying
