My just purchased DVR works fine as a self contained DVR but will not connect to the CMS3 console supplied or the vMEye iPhone APP. I have set the IP as static in the router and set up port forwarding. I have set the port to 83 in the router and the FLOUREON. I can ping the the device IP and get and immediate response but nothing else. Anyone got a suggestion as the supplied manual is completely useless?

Thanks for your help. Changed the settings and the PC output and the HDMI now work. It was set to a strange resolution which must have caused all the problems.

Good idea. I will try that later today.

I did wonder about the output resolution but there is no menu (that I can find) that allows you to change it. Do you know of a hidden menu?

VGA cable connected and message displayed - This signal is not supported. So no luck with that. Composite cable connected which does work but as expected for a 50" screen and composite signal the picture quality is poor but usable. So that's it then. Works but not as well as hoped.

All many thanks for your replies and help. I have ordered a male to male VGA lead and a BNC to Phono adapter. I will update this post when they arrive (tomorrow) with what gives the best result.

Hit another strange problem. Now FLOUREON working fine over network and internet I put it in it's final position and connected it to my 50" Pioneer plasma. No picture. works fine to Samsung TV (New) but not to they 8 year old Pioneer. Sky, Blue Ray and Apple TV work OK to Pioneer but not this DVR. I suspect it must be linked to the old HDMI standard. Any thoughts?

The 2 iPhone APPS were vMEye (remote viewing) and MEye (local viewing). Also local viewing from laptop was CMS3 (supplied with DVR). I don't think that it is the APPs because there are 3 (one from different supplier) more likely the DVR itself. When you set the TCP and HTTP Ports on the DVR it and interrogate it remotely they do change to whatever you choose but Port 34599 seems hard coded into the box and is always present on the list and is the only one that works. Password is really strange, set it to hello123 and sure enough this will be the only password that lets you logon to the DVR itself directly but try and use it over IP and the box only accepts the default password (not in the supplied manual but found it on the web). On the bright side for the money it is good value and now works well.

Purchased from Amazon but I have now solved the problem. The DVR allows you to set whatever port number and admin password you like and log in using them BUT the APPs that access the device allow you to fill in the port and password but just do not work unless you use the defaults. Really strange and not great for security. Not had this problem with the IP Cams that I set up and remote view from iPhone but this device seems as though the setup menus only partially actually alter the setup. Thanks for responding. Hope this post saves someone else some time.
