Colsie 0 Posted September 12, 2011 I have just bought this DVR having previously owned an AVC761 for several years. Having got it I realize now how out of date my old one is. I have been reading this forum and have learned some useful stuff, I still however have a few queries. 1/ There are times when I will want to turn the unit off and there is no physical shut down button to do it, I have however noticed a virtual one at the bottom of the left menu when connected directly to the DVR. The only other option is to switch off at the back which can't be good for hardware or software. I can't find any info regarding this so I don't want to try without being sure. 2/ The other issue is one I have had for a long time and is probably caused by me. I have always used dyndns to monitor my camera's while away from home, their updater does a good job of updating the internet IP when it changes, but only when my home PC is on. If the IP doesn't change while I'm away, all is well but if it does, bang goes my access. I am now giving Avtechs own system a go and am wondering if I will have the same problem with that. Unless my IP changes when I'm away I will not know. Any advice will be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomahawk 0 Posted September 21, 2011 i dont think turning the dvr off by either mothed will cause problems but i am unfamiliar with the model it sounds like your issue with losing connection is because of your isp ip if dyndns isnt working for you it may be worth while to see what the cost of a static ip from your isp would be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
