Hi guys, Since installing my CCTV, I require a wider viewing angle. At the moment I have two dome cameras with 3.6mm board lens: http://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/Cricklewood/product.php?productid=19979&cat=395&page=1 As i need a wider viewing angle ive seen these lens on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130242359461&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 I was wondering if these lens from ebay will work, and if they are easy to change. I dont want to buy new cameras so I thought this would be a cheaper option. Your help is much appreicated. Thanks.

Ive ordered them from HK, i'll let you know how I get on. Fingers cross they do a good job. Thanks

Thanks. Il look in to that.

Hi, I have ripped my hair out trying to resolve the problem where I can only connect to my DVR over my LAN connection and not over the WAN. I hope someone here can assist me. The DVR comes with client software to be installed on your pc so you can view your DVR remotely. I have done the following: Router: Belkin F5D7633 DVR: JPEG2000 NT460A The DVR requires me to port forward port 60000 which I have done on my belkin router. I have checked that my DVR is getting an IP address from my router which is IP Address: 192.168.2.3 Default gateway: 192.168.2.1 Mask: 255.255.25.0 This I can see the DVR in my router DHCP list. DHCP is enabled. I have then registered the DVR at www dot j2kdvr dot com as advised in the documentation as I have a dynamic IP address. Once registered there, I have inserted the DDNS server IP address into the DVR. The DVR now can pick up the WAN ip address. When the client software is opened up and registered with my DVR, then the WAN ip address comes available. When I connect it comes back connection failed. If I use my LAN ip of 192.168.2.3 the connection works fine. Here is the manual to setup the DVR is at www dot j2kdvr dot com under th FAQ link I hope someone can help resolve this issue. Thanks

I agree with Coolie11, that your port forwarding is not setup properly. go to the portforwarding website and double check you have correctly forwarded your ports, or anyone here on the forum kind enough can remotely manage your router and check your settings if you ask nicely. also try connecting via the client first, once its working from their, then try using the web.

Thankyou all for your help with this matter. Ive exhausted all options apart from one which is to try the connection with another router (instead of the belkin). At the moment im happy enough with the remote viewing working from another location outside my own LAN. I dont want the headache of setting up another router, and then messing the settings up on my belkin. Thanks to Smit9352 who checked my router settings, and everyone else for there input. Thanks.

The router has no VPN capabilities The only other portforwarding I have setup is for my remote desktop connection. The way I connect is, that I have a client on my laptop, this client picks up the WAN of the router by using DDNS as I have a dynamic IP. then all i do is connect via this client. Ive taken this same laptop to my brothers home and tried there and it works fine using the WAN ip. Then when I try at my home it doesnt work unless I use the LAN ip. The port im using is 6500 now, and the ive assigned a static ip to the DVR of 192.168.2.14 Smit9352 is kindly trying to remotely have a look at my router setup. Hopefuly we get somewere!

yeah both pc and dvr are off the same router, thats wht i can get in over the LAN.

forgot to mention you can download the manual at: www . qasim . talktalk . net / JPEG2000_DVR.pdf Please remove the spaces

The company which makes the dvr is JPEG2000, I have uploaded the manual for your information. Ive just tried putting the DVR into DMZ and still facing the same problem. The thing which is most confusing is that when I connect remotely from my brothers home (who is on a different ISP) the connection works fine. When I try from my home on my ISP on which the DVR is on, the connection fails, unless I use the LAN ip.

thanks Sir Fannel, i tried port 6000 on the dvr and opened it on my router. Still can only view over the LAN! ummmm.....

Thanks for your reply Smit9352. I have gone through your pdf files to setup remote viewing, and still I am facing the same problem. If you could remote manage my router, that would be nice. send me an email at qasim @ talktalk . net and I will pass on my details for my router. My dvr port is 60000 LAN Ip of dvr is 192.168.2.4

ive just now tried connecting on to the DVR from another ISP, and guess what..... for some odd reason it works. I can't connect from my own PC which is connected to AOL, but if I try from BT ISP it works fine. Is that meant to be normal?
