Hi all I have a cctv box that works a treat. However....... I have connected it to my network and its sending a signal that my pc can see and "open". At this point it asks for a log in, i know the information yet when i press connect nothing happens, i have installed all the plug-ins, and used IE, Firefox and Chrome but all have the same black box with controls and the log in, so i am wondering if the box's software is not working right. I got the box off a mate who got it off a mate who he no longer speaks to so no idea where it was from, there isn't really any information on the box so i cant go to there website etc I have limited knowledge of CCTV DVR boxes so not sure if you can install new software like you would on a pc etc so i hope one of you fine folks can help me _______________________________ Active-X Control Please install this file, if you can`t see a black box below. IP : 192.168.0.33 Port : Password : Thats what i see (i have removed the port and password to be safe) under that is a connect and disconnect icon, then the black box that it suggests i should have. It shows all the various controls IE playback and pan controls but just wont connect I do hope you can help as i would love to be able to set this up for viewing while i am out as some idiot tried to break in to my house last week while my wife was home alone, being able to see them while i am out is excellent Thank you for reading Ric

Tried that too

Tried that pal, still no joy

hello all! I wonder if anyone can help me here I was given a dvr system today, i have set it up (well connected it all up in the kitchen) and linked it into the net etc, i can see the machine online but i can not log into it. I have looked in every menu and sub menu on the box to find something that gives me the option of adding a web access password (im sure you know what i mean if thats not the correct terminology) but there just isnt one to be found. So i present myself to you and ask this, Is there anyway of changing the firmware to one thats a little easier to use and set up? I have looked all over the dvr box itself and there is no make or model number on the box at all. So im stumped I hope this makes sense and hope someone can help many thanks in advance EDIT *** I have since found out that it is a Sentient 4 Channel Network DVR origanly from maplins (uk store) but i can not find any sort of firmware upgrades. The current one is fairly rubbish to be fair its like a bad dos program

Hi all. My friend has bought a shop that had a 16 camera CCTV system with a DigiGuard DVR box (DG1648 I believe) I have read 2 online guides and also the paper guide to setting it up so he can watch the cctv from home. I have connected the box to his router and also wired to box directly to his laptop, I used the video viwer software yet no matter what I do I get connection errors. When I connected it wired I did the search and found the box, used that one and also the log in of admin and admin. yet still get errors. Does anyone have an idiots guide on how to get this damn thing working ? I am loosing hair on this one Cheers

Oh Never Mind I have just read the forum sticky saying that all cards from ebay are pirated cards. Mines from ebay so i must assume that its a pirate card. Can if this is the case can someone give me some details on a real card please ? I didnt even know there were pirate cards. Sorry all

I have looked through 3 pages of questions and yeah im probably a dumbass and not seeing the answers i need so this is probably a repost! So i appologise now Okay so heres the deal, i bought a cctv drv card thingy for my pc. I installed it on my pc and its being seen by the device manager. I installed the software that came with it and it turns out that it only works with 95/98/xp. I have windows 8 pro 64bit with windows media centre installed. All i can find out what this software is, is that its called pico2000 (hope that helps) so i have done some searching on the net and found a program called "btwdmdrvinstaller" whcih claimed to work. However this had around 60 different options of my cvard to choose from which i have been through and still this damn card isnt picking up any feed! So I turn to you all (and i have met some jolly good people in the past on here) and hope that someone can either help me or tell me what i am missing on the way with this. Surly this shouldnt be this hard in this day and age! Once again sorry if this is a re-post. And if any more info is needed please let me know. Ivor

Oh on a side note. I used (and must say it was no bloody good but may help y'all) Unknown Device Identifier 8.0 and it says the following: @system32\drivers\pci.sys,#1024;Multimedia Video Controller [uNKNOWN DEVICE] Chip: Conexan (WAS: Brooktree Bt878/Fusion 878A Mediastream Controler @system32\drivers\pci.sys,#1152;Multimedia Controller [uNKNOWN DEVICE] Chip: Conexan (WAS: Brooktree Bt878/Fusion 878A Video Capture (Audio Section) Hope this helps

Hi all Thank you everyone (Big Shout to Keith and Colin who have been helping me on my last issue) I have a system that uses the above avtech video viewer to see the feed. However is there a mobile version of anything so it can be accesed on a mobile phone (Andriod phone) idealy free Thanks in advance Ric / Ivor

This work on a mobile phone pal ?

Hi Tom To be honest I guessed at the ports

Hey The router is a thompson supplied by plusnet i am sorry i can not remember the port numbers

However. I did try the 192.168.0.10 address at the shop and IE just said something like page unknown

Hey Your number would be epic, I expect that the next time i will be down there will be tuesday / wednesday of the forthcomming week. Next time that someone says "hey your good with pc's can you just......" ill be saying no lol

Hey Ill try that http: next time i am down at the shop. Do you sugest anything to check the ports are open ? Once i get access wired we surely must be on a good footing to hit it remotely from other address's

hey yeah i opened the ports on the router. the unit is connected to a tv at the mo and i can see the settings. the password on the box is 0000 i have also tried this as the remote password yet still nothing. I think it needs a lump hammer through the box !

Hello All Thanks for your help I got up to the shop yesterday, tried the connection through the router, both IP's were different, tried to http: link and yet still no connection. I think this thing just needs smashing to a pulp anyone got any other ideas? I have used video viewer (the program recommended) through the softwear it has a search feature, now when i wired connected the digiguard box and the laptop to each other and searched through viedo viewer it did find the box, it aske for a username and password which everything I have seen says it will be admin and admin. Could all my issues be something to do with a changed password at all ? Is there anyway of changing this password if i do not know the current one ? Someone also mentioned to me that this maybe a firmware issue if so how do i go about correcting this ? Thanks again for the help so far

Cheers I will head down to the shop tomorrow or the day after and give it all a try......... Shame you don't live in oldham you could come and help me lol Thanks for the help so far

Cheers for that How do I change the ip's so they DONT match? I am getting to the point of dispair with this thing! Why can't things be red to red, blue to blue and they work :'(

Hi I connected the dvr box directly to the laptop also and it still said connection error.
