Magitech 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Hello all I have a h.264 DVR i have set up remote control and viewing via Internet with Dyndns etc. The thing is that my client wants to records the cameras to his PC at his home. What do i have to do in order to do this? Do it i have to set up the DVR's program at his home PC? Or is there any other free program that can do the job? Thank you in advance Marios N.

Numb-nuts 1 Posted November 6, 2012 Depending on the DVR it may not be practical. Far better to download recorded video from the DVR remotely and store it remotely. I suspect from the DVR description you gave it's some sort of generic Chinese DVR without a momma (not officially imported) ad those tend not to be too feature packed although usually rather good enough for the domestic or home user. Recording remotely has too many parameters that will affect it so it's often a compromise. The second stream is the setting at which a remote recording is captured, and it then has to stream across the WWW to the remote client as it were, to be recorded. By the time all this happens (and especially at low rescource end of the market) the received data has lost some of it's information. Far better to recover captured files remotely, as already saved files that can transfer across the WWW which will more or less be identical to having been saved locally.

milkisbad 0 Posted November 7, 2012 If your client MUST do it, despite all the disadvantages that has been listed, see if there's a icon on your remote control interface called "Client Record" (that's what is it called on our dvr, looks like a film wheel) Under setup there should be a 'local config' where you can select the save path of the "Local record".
