RickA 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Do you have a static or dynamic IP? Have you set up port forwarding on your router?Being able to connect via your home computer sounds like you have the basics right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigjay 0 Posted March 7, 2008 i have a dynamic IP that dont change that much, i think i have port forwarding but not sure as there are settiings in my router like TCP IP LAN IP Address Protocol Type LAN Port Public Port Enable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RickA 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Need to set up port forwarding in your router for the dvr IP and probably register with DYNDMS.com to keep track of your IP for login purposes or there is another one you can check into besides, there are posts on this subject already that will probably help.

a-casanova 0 Posted March 8, 2008 Bigjay use DYDNS.com use port 8000 for viewing the video feed. Make sure you have the firewall turned off on the modem, let the router do all the filtering and port forwarding. Make sure the only device doing the DDNS updating is the router. Go to this website to ensure that you have the proper ports open https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 . Select user defined port and scan the port you selected, make it is 8000. Make sure in host name on the DDNS router settings you input the host address with out http: or www simply your assigned DNS name.com. Also enable remote management on the router. There are tutorials on this website that teach you how to port forward and the basics of networking in an hour or so youll be on your way. 1) Create an account at DYDNS.COM from the location you are installing the system. 2)Determine what your dynamic external ip is at the site by going to http://whatismyip.com 3)Enter appropriate data in your newly created DYDNS account including IP and DNS name you wish to use for your camera system or other device. (Example myhomecam.homelinux.com) 4) the name will be associated with the ip you put in. 5) set appropriate port forwarding on the router and setup DDNS on the router and your good to go 6) Select a good router example (Linksys WRT54G /GS not the WRT54G, the GS has twice the memory and it wont freeze or quit) use port 8000! 7) Go here to make sure the ports you need are open from the outside https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2, make sure all your devices inside the network are configured and plugged in.
