I installed a all-in-one cctv system using the pre-made factory BNC cables. The cameras were mounted in ceiling tiles. I pushed back the insulation but worried it might have fallen back on the cables. Should I go back and wrap the connections with electrical tape?

Has anyone had issues with smartphone apps not showing video even if there is a connection to the DVR? I know it connects, it says connecting, buffering and playing but no video.

The problem was solved. There was an issue with the ISP provider.

I setup DDNS locally on the old DVR's that also had this same issue at the local site where the DVR is located. I have setup DDNS several times in other locations with no problems. I changed to new DVR's because I new the old ones where very old and they had other issues. The new DVR's do not have an option for DDNS. You can only set them up by IP or using the Peer 2 Peer setup, This allows the DVR to connect to the manufacturers server without dealing with port forwarding, DDNS and stays connected if the IP changes. Even with the Peer 2 Peer system setup the DVR's loose the remote connection in the same way they did when setup by DDNS with the old DVR's.

I have what I think might be an ISP issue but I am not sure. I have a client with a couple of houses divided into apartments. My client has a cable modem in two houses just for remote viewing of a CCTV system. I don't know if the people living in the apartments have their own cable modems. Here is the problem. Three different people tried to setting up a DVR for remote viewing, myself being the third. Every time the first house is configured with no problem. The next day the second house is setup with no problem but by the end of the day the first house goes down. Just remote viewing. The DVR is recording. By the end of the next day the second DVR goes down. This happens with different brand DVR's and with or without a router in the loop. I tried with DVR's that use a Peer 2 Peer server setup and get the same issue. I have tried the P2P as well as DDNS because this is a dynamic IP. Any ideas would be helpful at this point. Thank You.
