Hi people,
First time posting here, and really need some help. I'm at a wits end with trying to set up my security camera system, with viewing over my network and the internet from a remote locale.
Here is what I have,
PC based DVR card with 4 camera ports, the software that came with it is DSR Peage that allows PTZ control of the cameras.
I have 4 cameras - Analogue CCD, one is a PTZ Dome camera that uses RS 485 protocol for all camera movements, for which I have a RS 232 - RS 485 converter, 9 Pin Serial connection. I can view the cameras on the PC that has the DVR, but not on any of the other PC's in my network, or from any outside PC over the internet.
I also have a DL-707P Router, that connects all the PC's in my home to internet.
Now I understand that I require a Static IP Address in able to remotely view the cameras, this is I have done, , but I cannot get to view the cameras on the Lan PC's in my network or through the Internet . I'm not very savvy with Routers, firewalls, port forwarding and that type of thing, but can follow directions if they are clear and all relate. Most of what I've been accessing from the net on this subject, all go off in differing tangents.
I've also tried using DDNS, with no luck.
Im using Win2k as my operating system, I have PC Cillin installed and a firewall attached in that program. I really need to find a good step by step instructional guide to make this work for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or provide me with step by step instructions on how to do this.
I would greatly appreciate your input if your experienced in this line of work.
