New to site but looks like there is a lot of good information.
Q-see 4615-659 from Costco with 16 cams with one being PTZ
I am new to this, although I do have a little experience with camera systems but none with remote viewing, and being 62 doesn't help much either, forgot a lot of things I thought I knew ..lol
I have it up and running after a lot of frustration as software could be more user friendly especially port forwarding, might as well ignore the CD it came with and a lot of printed info
The main problem I want to correct is everytime DVR or Sagemcom Fast 1704 modem looses power when it resets it changes IP address of DVR and soon I am planning on leaving for a month or more and don't want to lose access to View cameras.
Anyone know how long you can have this DVR running before overheating, located inside with a/c ..months or ?
I reserved DVR adddress lease under DHCP leases in modem-router as I thought this might keep IP address of DVR from changing, but it didn't seem to work
Do I need static address for DVR as I have heard some say, if so what would be best cheapest way to get one.
I would like to be able to shut off power remotely to modem dvr once in awhile remotely so I ordered a 3G ip switch with 2 outlets
If I put everything = DVR & modem/router on a backup UPS then I don't think I can reset remotely but will address problem of power going off & on which my only concern is IP address changing
Does anyone know of a user manual for port forwarding, etc on Sagemcom Fast 1704 modem as I have looked everywhere I could think of with no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated
