Averdigi ddns setup for public viewing

[paranoid 0]

Hi all,

 

I need to hook up a feed from an averdigi 1304 net so that anyone anywhere can view the live stream.

 

I have no experience of ddns and am also concerned about the possibility of having my system hacked by an online user.

 

Can anyone make any suggestions as to how this all works ?

 

Many thanks

Hackers are going to make money, or disrupt for fun.

 

How much is the video worth? How much can they "hack" your DVR?

 

I come across DVRs with admin/admin all the time. I could change the IP address to take them off line, but then I could not get back in. What fun is there in that? Does your DVR carry your banking info?

 

Would a Sonic Firewall be enough to provide a level of security?

 

Does the manual to your DVR walk you through the process to setup an account with a dns product?

Now that you have you DVR setup to a router, and you have your dns account you need to do a portfoward. What is your DVR port number?

Hi Scorpion and thanks for the reply.

 

I should have mentioned im concerned about my actual pc being hacked and not really the dvr, although it would be a problem if someone erased the dvr hard disk.

 

Its attached to my router which is also attached to my business pc's and broadband connection, I think its on port 80 and im behind a firewall.

 

Also im not sure that ive explained properly because I want to embed a stream from 1 camera on my website so that anyone with an internet connection can view it without additional software ?

 

I have a feeling its not possible ?

 

Thanks

In regards to safety, then I would be much more concerned about the physical security of my PC and electronic toys from a smash and grab. I can always hire a forensic computer specialist to find something, but I cannot find my stuff except to search at pawn shops ect.

 

I have hidden a gps live tracking device in some of my equipment so that I can go to a computer and find my equipment before it gets to far, or too damaged.

 

 

 

It can be done.

 

take the camera number video loop out and connect it to a web server product (standalone not a pc product).

 

Beyond that you will need to talk to someone else as I have not done it.

 

There are various levels of security for your PC. The internal settings can match the level you need, or you can elevate it to a software fire wall.

 

For adware, spyware, and those kinds of low level problems then learn how to set up the basics of your computer, and learn how to set a restore point, and how to return to a restore point.

 

Learn how the various softwares the computer techs use to remove "bugs", and follow some of the PC forums.

 

 

I do not recommend it, but I left a computer wide open, and loaded every P2P I could find, and then I learned how to remove the "junk" with the help of software, and online "help me i have virus death doom and destruction on my pc" forums where they tell you step by step what to do.

 

I put a new hard drive in, and learned how to put in my win XP on my own.

I can take care of the little things on my own, and I can save money by not taking it to the PC doctor for simple colds, and sniffles.

 

Talk to a PC tech. They can set you up, and lock down the computer the way you want it.

If you are computer savy then do not read.

 

 

If you are not aware of it then watch out. Computers come off the shelf to be easy to use, and not all of the protection is set to "on". Get your computer properly set, and learn what you need to know to safely operate your computer.

 

Example

internet options

advanced

overide cookie handling

set to prompt

 

This will keep your computer from becoming slow. This blocks out the cookies that keep track of where you go on the internet.

 

You will need to learn how to allow the websites that you need such as anything that uses a password such as this forum, your banking, and email accounts ect.

 

Off the shelf every company will place a cookie on your computer. To go to website blah blah.com you will end up going to 75 advertising companies before you end up at the website that you wanted, and you will stare at the hour glass for a second while you wait.

 

There is more to what I am saying, and I am watering it down.
