I stand corrected and tried it yesterday and I confirm, changing password will disable his access. Its the port changing that wont disable his access…

Thanks for the replies guys. But now we have two contradicting answers which is why I posted this subject. Maybe there is a difference between P2P and cloud? or maybe BOTH options are out there and it depends on the DVR manufacturer. one would be simply helping in opening a connection between our pc/mobile and the DVR. The other is that the stream goes through their server then forwarded to our pc/mobile. Since I received two opposite answers Im guessing both technologies are available, but I feel servers forwarding a stream to be a ridiculous waste of internet bandwidth, but they probably would do that to spy and record our feeds.

Great! But how exactly can it connect 5 devices? are you sure it is a "Dongle"? Fastest way to get your answer would be to ask YOUR service provider on how to go about connecting 5 devices to that thing (one of which is your DVR). If you need a router then that isnt really connecting 5 devices is it? That's just ONE. I hate misleading ISP deals. However if its an independent wireless micro router that simply is powered via USB power then you cant use it at all in your case, only wifi enabled devices would be able to connect to it wirelessly.

The first silly thing to check would be that the DVR's IP has changed in your network. Check the IP at the router end, check the mac addresses. Check you router's forwarding ports assignment and verify its same IP as the DVR's IP. Make sure the DVR has static IP, select DHCP reboot then unselect DHCP and reboot again. If that's not the case then: So your saying everything WAS working fine? web browser connected, PC client software connected, and mobile app connected? Then it all stopped suddenly? same settings same ports same everything?? One of two things can be the cause, DVR or router. DVR's ports configuration is messed up. Router's forwarding ports configuration is messed up. IF SO, then I just suggest restore DVR back to factory setting and reset the ports again. Otherwise something is malfunctioning in your DVR. If you are seeing the IP updates at your dynamic dns server site then ddns is forwarding your IP properly, But router not forwarding the ports. Delete the port forwarding setup/assignment/configuration on router and start over. The router might have broken its forwarding settings. Delete port forwarding setup, restart the router, create the app ports forwarding to you DVR's static IP and test.

Did you configure your dvr to use http port other than the default 80? Try 8080

On second thought, if he is accessing via p2p then you cant do anything, the dvr forwards its details like port and user and pass so that the user easily logs in using the same p2p client and the p2p serial number/code. Only way is to get another dvr or if it has the option to deactivate its p2p server then deactivate it.

Howdy all, Is there a way to stream the analog DVRs cams to a website? embedding the stream within the site? like if a bar wants to show people how crowded they are, can it be done without the client software all over the place? Also likewise how hard is it with IP based cams? I figure if a bar has 4-8 cams for security and they want only 2 or 3 to be publicly viewed they should stream each cam on a different port? and that stream can be imbedded within the web page? would they be connected to the NVR or would the ones streaming publicly would have a streaming role and the ones to be recorded would be connected to NVR? Rephrasing the question, in IP based system can we have 2/4 cams streaming publicly and the 4/4 being recorded and accessed by manager via mobile apps??

To change a password you need the old password, hence if he has changed it from default he needs to give it to you and you can change at will. Or read up the manual and reset to factory settings then create your own password. Also as suggested change the ports used for web, client, and mobile client if it has different ports for each. If you have a static IP address from your ISP I dont think you can change it. But are you sure you have a static IP address?

Howdy all, I Was hoping someone can clarify this for me. When port forwarding using dynamic dns solutions we are lead/redirected directly to our source for streaming live video feed from our cams. However when using P2P, is the feed being transmitted to the P2P server then to our mobile phone or pc? or is it also just a means of redirection and hence directly connected to our DVR?? If the stream is passing through some P2P server that would greatly diminish our stream the more users use the server. Also is the icloud and P2P the same thing just different wording or what? Sometimes i feel the ddns feed is much faster, but I want a confirmation or clarification from yall. Thanks!

Howdy yall, I want to know what the rule of thumb is on maximum leagal recognizable acceptable viewing distance is for 2.8mm, 3.6mm, and 6mmm…

Looking at dahua mega hdis 800tvl vs dahua sony 700tvl. Hdis much more affordable and being advised. Although for night vision ccd should be uncomparable shouldnt it?

Howdy all... I have a close friend opening a night club. What sort of camera specs should I be looking for? 1mp? 2mp? Hdcvi? Anyone with different experiences? Any youtube examples? Thanks!

Yes i found out small 12v halogen spot lights were the cause for cheap cmos cameras without IR filter to show most black clothes as purple. Thanks for all the information.

So thats what the role of IR cut filter is for! Thanks for bringing that up. True, one shouldnt mess much with cheap cams. But we cant compare $25 to $85. Anyways it was a test cam project. Other than the purple black clothes the image is actualy smooth, not too bad, and easy on the eyes.

Hi all. Im assuming many have stumbled accross this issue so no need for a pic unless needed. I have some cheap camera that shows black plastic items black, however wrt clothes most black clothes are showing purple. Clearly anything but black! Is its just the reality of cheap dsp or is some IR interference or bad lighting?
