maplin n09jj dvr network problems

[crow 0]

hi

i installed a maplin n09jj dvr yesterday for a mate of mine

he hasnt got a static ip address

so i set him a DDNS no-ip account up for him

im not sure what went wrong but ill try to explain

first

i opened ports 6001 6002 6003 and 8080 on his huawei echolife hg520s router, and forwarded them to his dvr ip address i set 192.168.x.xx

i couldnt open port 80 as the router gave a message saying it would open 8080 instead (not sure exact message)

so i changed the http port on the dvr from 80 to 8080

then i went into the dvr ddns settings

these were the options

enable ddns = enable (was disabled)

ddns server = http://www.no-ip.com

device domain name = http://www.dynamicupdate-no-ip.com

ddns user = my friends no ip user name

ddns password = my friends no ip password

when i put his noip host name e.g (mymatesdvr.zapto.org)

it opens the login screen for his huawei router (admin admin)

i dont know why or how it can do this

even if i choose static ip in the dvr instead of DDNS

it still goes to his router login screen when i put his WAN ip adress in

has it got anything to do with the port 8080

as i have only used port 80 on the qvis dvr's

 

any idea's

 

thanks

you should try fowarding the ports on your router to the ip address of the dvr.

For instance, if the incoming web port is 8080 you should foward that port to the ip of the dvr on your local network.

hi mate

i have forwarded the ports to the dvr ip adrress

i have forwarded port 8080 and it asks for ip adress and i have put the dvr one in

when using port 8080 and a ddns account do you have to use colon and 8080 at the end

cheers

Yes, anytime you use a non-standard (other than 80) port you'll have a URL in the format of :

 

http://mydomain.com:1234/foo/bar

 

where 1234 is the port in question (e.g. 8080,etc). If you need to specify username or passwords on the URL you can read up more about the format of the URL here..

hi thanks for the reply

just found some info if not using port 80 with no-ip.com

there is a Port 80 Redirect option for service providers that block port 80

 

cheers

Hi. i would forget about using a service like ddns or no-ip till everything is working. its much easier to see problems.

 

 

ports you need to open if 80 is blocked use 8080 and for your dvr you also need to open 6001 6002 6003.

 

 

you also need to test your external ip away from the network and you would test like this

http://yourexternal ip:8080

 

 

also you need to enable network in your dvr network settings.

 

once its all working then add your external to a service like ddns or no ip

thanks tom

we had to return the dvr as the dvr was frezing and locking up every 2 houres or so

we got a differend model but still a sentient dvr

this one isnt much better either

we can get iphone app working but cant log on on with his lan

i opened all the ports requred and checked they were open with canyouseeme.org

the dvr ip adress we assigned to the dvr was all correct

we cant get the web software working either

it opens up and when we try to log in it says failed

the password is still 888888 and user is admin or Admin

 

think we are going to get a refund and get a qvis apollo
