Using Symphony 16p DVR connected via network cable to HomeHub router 4 Type A DVR shows Local IP by DCHP is 192.168.1.86, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and Gateway of 192.168.1.254 DVR has no bandwidth set, using Http port of 80 and control port of 1600, remote access box ticked. HomeHub confirms seeing device Named CCTV under network settings. On HomeHub, Into advanced settings, firewall, port forwarding In defined application TCP is 80 and UPD is 80, also set TCP to 1600, and UPD to 1600 .... so in the firewall I now see game or application:, and assigned to: both named as CCTV with ports 80 and 1600 open with an IP of 192.168.1.86 I also have DMZ ticked, and the firewall is set to default.... I have tried this also with firewall disabled, also with DMZ turned off. On the PC I am running IE 11 on windows 7. In tools I have set compatibility view settings to use both 192.168.1.86, and inputted IP address stated from site WhatsmyIP 86.154.nnn.nnn, also added 192.68.1.254. Tools, internet security, trusted sites, security settings low, custom level, Activex controls and plugins – enabled Allow previously unused active controls to run without prompt – enabled Go to site canuseeme, port 80 and same IP address as 86.154.nnn.nnn says port open. Same with 1600. In IE11 type 192.168.1.86 in browser, returns http://192.168.1.86/login.html?1600 and the programme opens. I can log in and change settings in setup, and confirm settings by logging in directly on the DVR so I know I am viewing a live setup. However, if i click a camera it just shows a grey square. Also I don’t have sound enabled but I do hear the computer sound click where it enables sound. When I try to go through the router using 86.154.nnn.nnn:1600 it says page cant be displayed, same using port 80???? Has anyone got any ideas as to what is wrong here, I have been scratching my wooden block on my shoulders for weeks now and the splinters are beginning to get painful!

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself, am a time-served and multi-skilled electrician by trade with a reasonably firm grounding in the wonderful world of IT and networking due to a temp career change a little while back. Have worked now for civil service for a good few years and through self teaching, and trial and error I am now the electrician on site who solely looks after a range of cctv from PC based units to full modern DVRs, using an assortment fibres, cat5, and RG59 cable. Now look after some 500+ cameras of many various types and around 25 recorders, all spread over about 1.5 sq kilometers!!!!!! Will be reading your posts very closely, as I want to remain as the "CCTV man" and this area of my work I find very interesting and rewarding. Have been given a very precise task to investigate and advise on a few 'enhancements', potentially costing many 1000s of ££££££ but will post this question when time permits in the relevant forum. Will always give as much information as possible, but would be grateful if you could bear with me on some information you may request as my employer strictly prohibits my divulging certain information. Cheers
