Recommended Posts

i need to know wjat settings i have incorrect in the server ...

 

i have digicam 120 software and i have everything port-forwarded correctly .. i called for tech support and they can view the camerals on the properties we are trying to watch

 

now i get to the house ... and try to log in via windows .. or linux ..

i have tried internet explorer .. opera ... firefox

with no results

 

the most i get is the remote ... and a blank grey screen .. ?

 

does anyone have any ideas that would help me out

settings in the web browser ...

or a 3rd party softrware that would alow me to view these cameras ?

If tech support can see your cameras then there is nothing wrong.

 

When you get to the "house" is this the same place where your cameras are located?

 

Are the cameras located somewhere else, and you are trying to remote in to them from the "house"?

 

If the cameras are else where, and you are remoting in then you may have an active X issue.

 

Using Micro Soft browser log in to the DVR, and see if you can see video. If you cannot then go to (XP) tools > internet options > Genral Tab.

 

Delete Temporary Internet Files. Open a new browser, and log in to the DVR. You should get an Active X request to load. Allow it to RUN.

 

This should fix your viewing problems.

 

If this does not then you will need to hire someone local who can look at your situation, and troubleshoot for you.

scorpion is right about the active x, but if that is not it, make sure the ip is in your trusted sites in internet security settings, I had problems like that before.

I see no mention of the operating system from home, if you have vista or xp at home you need to allow active x contorls for the dvr, especially with vista.

Linux with firefox will not connect unless you use wine with explorer, it sounds like you need to enable active X controls on your home computer to connect and view images.
