Watchig the Geovision DVR on Android

[spot.comp 0]

Hello,

 

I'm having a GV-800 PC Card working with software 8.5.6.0.

I enable all necessary setting to be able to watch the cameras remotely:

make sure I have ports 8866, 5511, 8554, 1080 (instead of default port 80 duo to conflict with other computer) forwarding configurations correctly and make sure they are all visible on www.canyouseeme.org , enable JPG etc.

I have no problem watching the camera remotely single and multiview from any PC .

The problem starting when I'm trying to watch it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-9300, Android 4.1.2

I'm entering all the correct parameters (IP, port, User & password) I get black screen for short time and then 'cannot connect'. If I open the browser on my smartphone and entering the IP as I do on a PC, I can watch it like on a desktop. The problem is it's in 10 sec delay, only one camera at the time and very cumbersome.

I also try it with "IP Cam Viewer Basic" and couldn’t connect the cameras. On an iPhone using iOS 7.1.4 it works perfectly!

 

Anyone have an idea?

GV-AView requires port 4550(command port) even though it is not documented in the manual...

 

Also, did you change the HTTP port in the GV-DVR software or ar you just using port forwarding to 'translate' the port? (for example: external port 1080 translated to internal port 80) You need to change the port on the DVR so the software is 'aware' of the alternate port

Port 4550 was enable. I just check again and it visible.

About port 1080, I change it in the software (under webcam server) to 1080, didn't really understand the different between 'port forwarding' and 'translate'.

 

Tanks,

hello,

 

To setup GV-iview or Aview,

on the software,

1. please go to the Network button > webcam server. under the Server tab make sure the Run GeoHTTP Server option is checkmarked.

2. make sure the Mobile tab is checkmarked too. and also

3. make sure under the JPG tab that the Create JPEG/GIF file(s) option is checkmarked, then click OK so that the word Web shows up in the blue bar to the right of the software.

 

and then make sure that your ports (for live view) are open.

http: 80

command: 4550

DATA: 5550

Mobile: 8866

and 5552, 5511 (for playback) are open if you intend to do remote viewing and playback

Thanks,

 

Well, it's all was as described, and just to make sure I did triple check. Nothing changes...

 

Any other idea?

Please make sure the numbers of characters of password is equal or longer than ID.

 

Also have you changed http port?

If you do, make sure you use IP: xx.xx.xx.xx:http port to login.

 

for ex, if http port is 81, the IP that you login at GV-Aview is xx.xx.xx.xx:81)

IP: xx.xx.xx.xx:81

Port: 8866

Thanks! It is finally working!

I just needed to add the custom port at the end of the IP address.
