Another newbie with a query. Hi!
I have this kit set up with a monitor attached directly to the DVR, and it does what it is supposed to in terms of monitoring and recording. My problem is when I try to look at the video on my desktop computer. Both DVR and desktop are hard wired to my Netgear router, I have allocated a local static IP address to the DVR, and ports 80, 100, and 9000 have all been forwarded. I guess my computer can see the DVR on the network because it reports it as an attached device, and when I first put its IP address into IE9 on the computer it downloaded the little interface programme, and now whenever I do so, it throws up the blue interface screen asking me to choose LAN or Internet, and to input a password. At this stage I choose LAN (the DynDNS fun is to come later) but once I put in a password, I get a Login Failed message. This occurs whether I use the default Admin pw 020818 (which I have not yet changed), the default user pw 000000, or the actual user pw that I have set up on the DVR in place of 000000.
Can anyone suggest, please, how I get past the password screen on the computer, so as to access the DVR output? Thoughts/clues would be appreciated.
