Bump, any help? still not working

Thanks for the reply, I found the gateway, its set at the router IP address, but I can access the DVR over my LAN via Wifi on IDMSS I cant acces it on internet explorer though, page cant be loaded.

Having trouble setting this up with my system: Using Dlinkddns.com and the ip and port are visible using online tools. Router points to correct local IP device Port is 37777, protocol set to both UDP and TCP. This is the same for private and public port logins tried are set to reusable register mode is set to ip/domain I get the error "Login Timeout" with a good login or a bad one. I am using version 3.30.0000

I can attest to one incident that worked out well. 10 of our neighbors were broken into over a 5 week period. The last one, someone was home. The thief didn't get inside, but walked off when hearing the homeowner, who followed him while calling the police. The thief waited around a corner for him and tried to hit him with a board. My neighbor was able to fight back and eventually pinned him down after slugging him in the face a few times. Because it was self defense, he had nothing to worry about. The burglar now has a couple of assault charges and has been pinned to the other 10 home invasions. No home invasions since. That neighbor got a few pats on the back.

finally, yes it works on the Optimus S!

The tutorials all mention gDmss, Sean's states that if you see any others that cost money not to use them. However, the market charges for gDmss. Dmss-Pro is the one offered by Dahua for free. Which should the tech testing the system use? How is it that the Android app does not access the HTTP port? Should I remove the http port address from the end of the url?

What about using the DDMS pro that is free and provided by Dahua? Or does it not work with the QVIS?

I dont have an android phone...., my phone is a "dumb" phone. I am having someone test the app on a phone before I buy it. I gave the exact instructions from the video. I just wanted to see if there was something specifically different because of the non port 80 URL. and because they arent getting through. The 37777 is from the TCP, the 1004 is for HTTP What confuses me is the Android app having a port box and I am not sure if it should be 37777 or http port 1004 (instead of 80 which is normal) I know the video shows the default of 37777 which I still have it at for TCP. The app doesnt clarify what the "port" refers to. Would someone with an android phone be willing to try this though a PM so I don't have to post my details online? Thanks

I am having someone test an android phone for me but they are not getting through. My ip address is setup through a dlinkddns site and until just a moment ago I had not activated the DDNS function on the DVR. (it is now though pss 4.05 via NETWORK, DDNS) Prior to this, I am able to access it from a remote computer. HTTP is set via router and DVR to 1004 for the internal IP of the DVR. Using that port is also required to access the DVR locally on my "intranet" settings: TCP port 37777 UDP port 37778 Http port 1004 I am providing my ip address for testing as: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1004 or optionally xxxx.dlinkddns.com:1004 Is there something I should be doing differently on an android device compared to a PC with IE? This works fine on a remote computer, so it should also work on an android phone right? ...from the phone tech support guy. (that error was : "Connect to server fail.") Should I also activate UPNP? Should I also use the "ADDITIONAL FUNCTION" - "Auto Register, which was already enabled but has an IP 0.0.0.0 , port 8000, Device ID 0 ? Thanks

It's a 2010 phone. What I dont get is that the list has no LG phones at all. The primary reason I want this phone is for the ability to view my cameras when I am out of town. I really need to find out if it will work before I buy it. Hopefully someone has one and has tried it out.

Hello again, Just thinking about finally getting a smart phone, but something cheap, maybe from Ting wireless. They offer the Optimus S, not a fancy high end phone, and not listed on Bahama Securities page of compatible phones either (nothing LG listed at all). It is Android 2.2 Will it work? Dmss: so many options, (gdmss vs dmss, client, pro...which?) one out in the market is $29.99, another is 4.99 Does the 2.2+ mean that the phone will work or will the processor power also be an issue? The phone can't run flash, which I am sure dmss isnt using that. Any ideas? Thanks!

I took a chance and bought a 2TB external drive made by Hitachi. It was the cheapest 7200 RPM drive I could find, but I had to rip it out of the case to get to it. it turned out to be one of the more expensive drives they sell as internal and was $120 cheaper than buying it without the enclosure. It seems to be working great.

Thanks, that's the way I set it up, but it does seem strange that the small resolution increase is improvement over 30 FPS. The equipment is great though, Sean. It's great way to get started with this stuff.

I bought some of the Samsung SCC 130A cameras from Nelly's Surplus. I also purchased the Apollo DVR. The cameras are obviously not the fanciest, but I think the images look better than the night owl stuff display equipment at MicroCenter. They dont need extra lights at night with a .1 LUX rating. Anyway, thats not my question. The cameras resolution is 330 TVL. The DVR can record at D1 7 fps on each channel or CIF at up to 30 on each channel. With the camera limited to roughly CIF, output, am I better off running the system at CIF/30fps at D1/7fps? CIF fps could be any number....any suggestions welcome. I have 2 TB drive and I am recording on motion detection. With three cameras currently hooked up it looks like I am using .01 Terabyte per every three days, so space doesn't seem to be an issue.

Thanks, I am considering the new firmware as well, have you had any problems with the Dahua update on the Apollo? I have HDMI, so it should work, but I thought I would make sure first.
