Hi, I have installed 7 CCTV camera (around the house) connected to a DVR. The monitor directly connected to the DVR I can see the 7 camera pictures. I have also connected the DVR to my local network router (Orange EE) which has assigned the IP 192.168.1.243 and DVR has is configured on port 85. From my laptop (connected to the same router) I open an IE browser to http:// 192.168.1.243:85 I get the DVR login screen and when I login I can see all the menus options but the live camera feed is just a black screen. Another issue is I have used DNSexit.com to setup a DNS for my IP to access the cameras remotely what configuration do I need to do on DVR? I have added the port forwarding on my router for port 85 do I need to do anything on DVR as it doesn’t work when I try the DNS name. All help is welcomed

Hi, thanks for the replied i have managed to get it working when i use my PC. However now i am trying to get it working over my smart phones. I have downloaded "tinycam Monitor Pro" app and entered my camera DNS details. (using the free DNS linkpc.net). but i get Video failed (403 - forbidden) error in the app. i have tried a few apps and get the same messgage in all. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?
