No worries. Its fixed! and works perfectly. Thanks for your help.

So i got it to work. First I did what scorpion had suggested and set the DVR to DHCP to let the router assign it an IP. The IP it assigned was --.102 where i had originally set it to --.10. The gateway and everything else appeared correct. I went into the Router settings and confirmed that Block WAN requests was disabled. It was already but good catch!. I also noticed that the router had IP addresses starting at --.100 which is prob why it wasnt registering. I then went to DYNDNS and setup an account, entered the info in the router and everything worked. Thanks for all the help. It really saved the day. One quick question: If i have DYNDNS info setup in the router (WRT54G) do i need to install an update client as well? Or does the router work as the update client?

where does the ISP DNS fit in..? I am using a dyndns account to update as the location has Dynamic IP from the ISP. Is that what you are referring to?

Ok so this is what i will do: Turn DVR from Static to DHCP. Wait for router to assign IP. Verify Assigned IP by doing a search on the network using Videoserver software Change the DVR from DHCP to Static and put the IP that the router assigned. Change port forwarding to direct to new IP Disable Block WAN requests options Confirm Gateway (was confirmed when i did initial setup but will double check) Confirm Net mask (ditto) Ping locally, Access Locally, then Access Remotely. Thanks!

Yea i used the ap software to determine the ip address from the router it came up as .....10 the same as what is on the DVR. is there another way to see what ip address the router thinks it wants to give the DVR? wouldnt this issue mean i couldnt connect or ping via local host? open ie and enter 192.168.1.10 and i receive the AP login page. i think this means a good connection.. not sure tho thoughts?

Wow I completely forgot about that (not too familiar with linksys rtrs). You may have just saved the day. thank you. I will try this fix tomorrow afternoon and post the status.

This is the situation: DVR is connected to Linksys router which is connected to DSL modem via ATT. I have successfully connected to the DVR from the local computer on location. the DVR settings are as follows: IP 192.168.1.10, Port 8080 set to static. for sake of this question, remote ip is determined to be 77.77.77.77 and is dynamic assigned from isp. The router has port 8080 setup to forward TCP requests to ip 192.168.1.10 When trying to access locally via 192.168.1.10 or via 77.77.77.77:8080 i can connect. However, when trying to access remotely via IE or Video server software using 77.77.77.77:8080 i receive a timeout error. I am not sure what is going on as i have confirmed that the DVR is seen by the modem and the IP address's and ports all line up and match. Any suggestions?

Turns out it was the IR sensor stuck between full IR and non IR. the low lighting i guess was having the camera add in red hues to compensate. I tested in a white light room and did not have the same problem. TY for the help. Best, B

How would I test for that? As per the specs listed above, is there any way to tell?

I understand, and to troubleshoot the devices, i used multiple displays (projector, LCD monitor with converter, LCD tv, standard tv, HD tv...) unable to find a pattern to it. Any ideas on how to work down a troubleshooting process on this?

Hi Guys, I have a Dome camera with 1/3" Sony CCD imager, .1 lux. The image appears to have incorrect chroma/hue when plugged into select TV's / Monitors. The browns, blues and blacks (some of them) will show as a light green, almost as though NV is on. However, when a specific brown is held against a different shade of brown, just that one brown will appear incorrect. The crazy part comes into play when i take the unit and hook it up to a different TV. That different TV will display the color properly. Lighting is the same throughout both situations. Cable length is less than 50' Won't show correct color on all TVs or monitors but only on a few. (LCD and Standard Not sure what is causing this issue. Any ideas? Some, not all, red will show up as light blue Some, not all, browns, will show up as light green Some, not all, blues, will show up as light green Some, not all, greens, will show up very vibrant and over colored. I have not tweaked the cameras settings.
