gman 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Hey Everyone, Very excited about the new dvr, but cannot get past two issues, updating the firmware and getting the iphone app to work. Here is what has happened so far: Firmware update current version H8.01.01.00.20 firmware update version H8.1.1.0.28a steps: re-format usb drive download zip file from site extract zip file loaded the zip file, the H8 folder (which holds the extracted bin file), and the bin file at root level plug usb into dvr wait a few seconds for dvr to recognize usb click update receive error message "no update found on usb" iPhone app Note: This works on local area network, but not going over the internet. Because the local works, I'm thinking the DDNS is the problem. DVR settings Server IP using dhcp remote console port - 5550 remote update config - 5005 enable anonymous login checked webviewer port 80 ddns checked domain name gman.avers.com.tw [host name from ddns setup below] password [password from ddns setup below] ddns server name: ddns.avers.com.tw ddns server port: 1053 network cable attached to netgear wireless adapter router port forwarding with dvr ip on ports 5005, 5550, 1053, and 80 (note the netgear adapter has it's own ip. Because the local area network setup works, I don't think this is an issue.) ddns setup from ddns.avers.com.tw website host name - gman domain names avers.com.tw, dispatch.avers.com.tw averdigi i-viewer iphone app name: gman host: gman.avers.com.tw port: 80 (tried 5550, 5005, and 1053) id: admin [same as dvr] password: [same as dvr] The app goes to the camera screen, but says connection failed. Some of these values are different as I didn't want to post the real host name, id and password. posting.php?mode=post&f=6# Any help is greatly appreciated!

tomcctv 190 Posted April 9, 2011 on iphone you do need port 5550. are you able to log onto your unit away from your network on another pc using the avers ddns http://you.avers.com.tw:5550 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gman 0 Posted April 9, 2011 I can get to the page, but IE will not download the Active X script. It's IE 8 on XP. I tried with and without compatibility mode, and took out all of my security settings and shut off the anti-virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gman 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Good news, the iphone app is now working. I plugged in the 5550 port number and it started right up. Perhaps I had not tried that combination. Now I just need to figure out the firmware update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried with and without compatibility mode, and took out all of my security settings and shut off the anti-virus. it sounds like a problem with ddns. google myip and enter that into your phone were it says ip on the app ... enter the ip from google .. the port is 5550 and username and password for your dvr.

gman 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks tomcctv, you nailed both of them. The manual's instructions were different from what you linked to. Once I knew how to do it, worked like a charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
