Remote Viewing with Static Address

[Sparro 0]

I just upgraded my internet access to a higher business speed. This new access comes with a static IP address.

My old access was dynamic IP and I was able to remote view with my DynDNS account via dipmap.

I got a new DSL modem, a speedstream 6300 with built in wired and wireless router. I opened ports 80 and 20.

But I'm not sure what i need to do to remote view my business cameras from home. Can someone please give me the rundown on how and what to setup so I can remote view my cameras from home.

I am running GeoVision GV-900 Version 7.

Thanks.

you need to change the ip setting in your dvr to your new static ip. how many ip's did you get? if one then you need to setup port forwarding in and nat in your router from the static wan to your private lan.

I only got one static IP address. I have a Geovision GV-900 card that has 10 cameras installed on it.

How do i setup port forwarding?

I think I managed to open ports 20, 21, 80, 3550, 3650, 3663, 4550, 5550 and 8000.

It says the IP address of the computer that has the GV-900 card attached to it which is 192.168.2.102

When I try to login to my static IP in IE7 at 76.XX.XXX.XX it tells me login failed, check to see if you entered an incorrect password.

But a popup box with username and password didn't come up.

your dvr network settings are set to your Local Area Network (LAN) Routers DHCP settings, not to your new Wide Area Network (WAN) IP address.

 

Next, set your routers "port forwarding" to the IP address of the DVR. Port 80, ect. all get poited at the dvr.............opening a path to the dvr.

 

Then, use a port checking web site to see if your ports are open or blocked. I use no-ip.com to check my links BEFORE I try to view them over the internet.

 

If you Port Forward and the ports are blocked.............your ISP has blocked them.

 

This Router your have. Is it a Embarq by chance? Embarq routers are poor routers to use with video. Hard to program and no DNS settings available.............but you have a static now so DNS does not matter.

IMHO, Embarq designed their new DSL Wireless Router without DNS so that they could and can charge you for a static IP address. With my clients, I toss the Embarq router in the trash and install a Linksys. My clients don't have to buy a static, nor should they........

My Modem/Router combo is a Siemens Speedstream 6520.

I believe the ports are open and forwarded to local IP address of the compuer running Geovision wich is 192.168.2.102.

The modem/router IP is 192.168.2.1.

I have Geovision webcam server set to my static address.

 

This is driving my crazy. It was so easy when i had my dynamic IP setup with dipmap.

I think i need a step-by-step... i'm going nuts...

did you check your portsto MAKE sure they are open? I am sure.......is not checking.

Dude the setup in the router should be the same now as it was when you had a Dynamic IP Address.

 

If you're sure you forwarded the ports properly, In IE from a remote PC or even from another computer on the local network, enter http://ipaddress:port# and you should be able to get in.

 

Another thing you mite want to do is that Port 80 to something else, because sometimes some ISP's block access to Port 80.

I got it working. It was the ports. They did not open. I went back into the port mapping and noticed they were disabled. Once I enabled them, it worked fine.

Thanks for all the help guys!
